What
====

[](#what)

PHPKeychain is a PHP wrapper for storing and retrieving passwords in OS X Keychain.

Why
===

[](#why)

You've written a CLI tool that interacts with a 3rd party service and you need to store a users sensitive details such as passwords. You could store this in a plain text file, but OS X has Keychain, so this will help you to do this.

How
===

[](#how)

Include this class in your CLI script and use the methods to set, get, update and delete passwords, all stored within Keychain.

Methods
=======

[](#methods)

See the demo.php file for details on how to use this class
