openssl_pkcs7_verify

Verifies the signature of an S/MIME signed message (PHP 4 >= 4.0.6, PHP 5)
mixed openssl_pkcs7_verify ( string filename, int flags [, string outfilename [, array cainfo [, string extracerts [, string content]]]] )

There is a hidden sixth argument: string pointing to a file where the contents of the signed message should be saved.
It is very important for verifying signed and encrypted messages from MS Outlook which uses opaque signing. After decrypting of message you will get another MIME envelope like this:
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="smime.p7m"
Content-Type: application/x-pkcs7-mime; smime-type=signed-data; name="smime.p7m"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
MIIM/QYJ...
Even if you use base64_decode() you will not get decrypted message but PKCS #7 object.
BTW: How to create opaque signed message like from MS Outlook? Switch off PKCS7_DETACHED flag (the last 0 does it):
openssl_pkcs7_sign(
   "full_path_to_message_file",
   "full_path_where_to_store_signed_message_file",
   "file://full_path_to_my_public_certificate.pem",
   array("file://full_path_to_my_private_key.pem", "password"),
   array(),
   0
 );

As someone already mentioned in the previous comment it didn't work for me until I passed in that hidden sixth argument and also explicitly add the mime header into the $in_filename contents. (I am using PHP5)
$data = file_get_contents($in_filename);
file_put_contents($in_filename, "MIME-Version: 1.0\nContent-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"smime.p7m\"\nContent-Type: app
lication/x-pkcs7-mime; name=\"smime.p7m\"\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n$data");
openssl_pkcs7_verify("$in_filename",
                             $flag,
                             "$out_filename.cert",
                             array($path_to_cert),
                             $path_to_cert,
                             $out_filename));
