## #13243 — Greg MacLellan — 2004-10-08T19:43:38+00:00

Quick patch to add a function openssl_csr_subject() that allows you to 
see the subject of a CSR. Uses the same CSR handling routines as 
 `openssl_csr_sign()` etc, so it can take a string in PEM format, a file, 
whatever.

Prototype: string openssl_csr_subject(mixed csr)

Sample return value:

string(99) "/C=CA/ST=Ontario/L=Kingston/O=Greg MacLellan/OU=PHP/CN=CSR 
Test/emailAddress=greg@gregmaclellan.com"
