openssl_pkcs7_sign — Sign an S/MIME message
openssl_pkcs7_sign() takes the contents of the file named infilename and signs them using the certificate and its matching private key specified by signcert and privkey parameters.
headers is an array of headers that will be prepended to the data after it has been signed (see openssl_pkcs7_encrypt() for more information about the format of this parameter).
flags can be used to alter the output - see PKCS7 constants.
extracerts specifies the name of a file containing a bunch of extra certificates to include in the signature which can for example be used to help the recipient to verify the certificate that you used.
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
