The return array consists of the following values:
(
  [imported] => (int),
  [unchanged] => (int),
  [newuserids] => (int),
  [newsubkeys] => (int),
  [secretimported] => (int),
  [secretunchanged] => (int),
  [newsignatures] => (int),
  [skippedkeys] => (int),
  [fingerprint] => (string)
)

When invalid content is passed, all values, even skippedkeys, is 0. The fingerprint value does not exist then.

I recommend that the key may be generated in shell command line, then you export the keys using this group of commands.

gpg --export -a "User Name" > public.key
gpg --export-secret-key -a "User Name" > private.key

to use it, at the import and use it for encryption and decryption.

<?php

$GnuPG
= new gnupg();

$PublicData = file_get_contents('public.key');
$PrivateData = file_get_contents('public.key');

$PublicKey = $GnuPG->import($PublicData);
$PrivateKey = $GnuPG->import($PrivateData);

echo
'Public Key : ',$PublicKey['fingerprint'],' & Private Key : ',$PrivateKey['fingerprint'];

?>
