I created a php library that uses "bitcoin-off-the-grid" (BOTG) (source: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=23081.20) which is a bash script.

Here is the library:
https://github.com/RobKohr/PHP-Bitcoin-Address-Creator

I trimmed out a bunch of stuff from BOTG to make it more script friendly, and wrapped a php exec call to it. It seems to work pretty well.

Awesome idea, I didn't think of that. It's still not working on my server though, I must be missing some packages. It's just outputting a bunch of 1's for me. And I don't really have the ability to install new packages on my server, that's another reason I wanted to find a way to generate bitcoin addresses without installing bitcoind on the server. I tried grondilu's Perl modification which removes some dependencies, but no luck. I must be missing the dc/bc package. Looks like I might have to read up on the process for creating bitcoin addresses and write a pure PHP script.

Go into lib and
chmod 777 botg.sh

then do this:
./botg.sh

Tell me what happens.

I've already set the permissions on the botg.sh file correctly. At first it wasn't outputting anything so I fixed the permissions and it started giving me a string of 1's for both the keys. The output looks like this:

PrivateKey
1111111111111111111111111111111111
PublicKey
1111111111111111111111111111111111

I did a quick Google search and found that someone else using the BOTG script was getting the same type of output. It was because they were missing certain packages, so I assume that's my problem.

If you are on ubuntu, try:

sudo apt-get install bc

I had to do this on one of my servers to get it to work.

Also, just check each of the commands executed in the script (it isn't too long). Check to see that you have each installed.

Let me know the results, and I will update the readme if you have a solution.

I am having issues getting this script to run. I can run it fine from the server but when I try to run it from the php function that i got from here: https://github.com/RobKohr/PHP-Bitcoin-Address-Creator/blob/master/lib/botg.sh

I get this output:

Code:

Array ( [0] => PrivateKey [1] => 111111111111111111111111111FXjQL6s [2] => PublicKey [3] => 1HT7xU2Ngenf7D4yocz2SAcnNLW7rK8d4E )

Still man? Sucks...
