Returns an encoded JSON Web Token (JWT).
Synopsis
string jwtEncode(string payload, string key [, string algorithm ]);
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| payload |
A valid JSON object. Anmerkung: The validity of the object is not checked by this
function.
|
| key |
The encoding key. Anmerkung: It must be at least 32 characters long.
|
| algorithm | The optional parameter to specify the signing algorithm used to
sign the JWT. The following values are supported (see also here):
The default value is "HS256" to stay backwards compatible. When
using "RSxxx" values, the key must contain a valid

(i.e.: setting algorithm as "none") is not supported.

Return value
Encoded and signed token.
Description
The function jwtEncode() returns an encoded JWT token containing "payload", signed with "key". The parameter "payload" should contain a valid JSON object, but this is not checked by this function. "HS256" is used as the signing algorithm. If any problems are encountered (e.g:. the key being too short), an empty string is returned. The error details can be read with getLastError().
