| Aug 27, 2013 at 16:43 | comment | added | James | Updated with clarification. I'm creating an SSH connection within PHP, and this requires a private key. It's (I assume) a valid purpose, hence why I asked for a solution that maintains good security (if there is one) :) | |

Why in lords name do you want to be able to file_get_contents() a private ssh key? This reeks of your-doing-it-wrong... Seriously, what purpose do you have reading in the private key that you need it available for both?
