How to encrypt files using gpg via php

Encryption A simple yet practical task is to send encrypted email. For years, the standard for encrypting email has been PGP. But it is commercial software and cannot be used freely. As an alternative to PGP, an open source similar product is now available. GPG does not contain patented algorithms and can be used for commercial applications without restrictions.
