ssh2_auth_password
I tried for hours to have this function working under windows without sucess.
It seems that this function does not work with the 0.11 version of libssh2 but I'm not sure. What I'm sure is that it doesn't work with wamp or easyphp (or the last binary from pecl4win) and these three runs with v0.11.
Only solution seems to be linux (or another unix based distribution I guess), all has worked for me under linux with libssh2 v0.14. So if you're trying to have this function working under windows, just forget it for the moment.

This is probably incredibly insecure but if you are in a closed environment, you can run it at your own risk.
I was trying to get ssh access from server A to server B but server A was running apache as 'apache' and
I needed files on server B that were owned by root. So I needed some way for the apache user to connect
to server B as root. Here's what I did (both servers running linux - specifically CentOS4):
1. ssh-keygen -t rsa -f id_rsa generate with no passphrase
2. append the id_rsa.pub file to server B /root/.ssh/authorized_keys2
3. copy the id_rsa and id_rsa.pub files to a directory like /var/www/.ssh/
(happens to be apache's home dir on CentOS)
4. chown -R apache.apache /var/www/.ssh
Then you can connect like this:
$connection = ssh2_connect($server,22,array('hostkey'=>'ssh-rsa'));
if (ssh2_auth_pubkey_file($connection,'root',
'/var/www/.ssh/id_rsa.pub',
'/var/www/.ssh/id_rsa')) {
echo "success!";
}
else
{
echo "no success :-(";
}

The public key must be on one line starting with the key type, 1 space and followed by the keydata (no newlines) and not followed by comments. This is a limitation of libssh2, so remove any excess data from the file after creating it with your key generation tools.
So it would look something like this:
ssh-rsa <keydata>

The key files need to be in OpenSSH's format.
For example the pubkey file should look like this:
ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABJQAAAIEAo6uBphcbl
