Description:
------------
I have tested this against php5.3.5 with OpenSSL 1.0.0c (arch linux) vs an older server running php5.2.14 with OpenSSL 0.9.8e (centos linux).


Test script:
---------------
$opts = array('config'=>'openssl.cnf',
              'encrypt_key'=>true,
              'private_key_type'=>OPENSSL_KEYTYPE_RSA,
              'digest_alg'=>'sha256',
              'private_key_bits'=>2048,
              'x509_extensions'=>'usr_cert');

$handle = openssl_pkey_new($opts);
openssl_pkey_export($handle, $privatekey, sha1($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']), $opts);
echo $privatekey;


Expected result:
----------------
CentOS example output
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED
DEK-Info: DES-EDE3-CBC,C93B386451093918

There is no different code in php to deal with this function.

If two versions of openssl give you two different results then it is a openssl 
problem, not php.

Also I would like you to test using the same PHP versions vs two openssl, then we 
can begin to discuss a possible issue. Be sure to use the latest versions 
available at php.net, not the centos (or any other distro) you use.

I have verified this under the following conditions.

Arch Linux x86_64 installation

This configuration returns a password protected private key
Apache 2.2 [./configure]
OpenSSL 0.9.8q [./config --openssldir=/usr/local/openssl-0.9.8q --shared]
PHP 5.3.5 [./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --disable-cli --with-openssl=/usr/local/openssl-0.9.8q]

This configuration however does not return a password protected key
Apache 2.2 [./configure]
OpenSSL 0.9.8q [./config --openssldir=/usr/local/openssl-1.0.0c --shared]
PHP 5.3.5 [./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --disable-cli --with-openssl=/usr/local/openssl-1.0.0c]

Anything else you might find pertinent?
 [2011-01-31 15:18 UTC] jason dot gerfen at gmail dot com 
Since I have not heard anything else about this I did some digging to try and identify the problem.

I have been adding some warning output in the 'openssl-1.0.0c/crypto/pem/pem_pkey.c' file after reviewing the the 'php-5.3.5/ext/openssl/openssl.c' file and noticing and focusing on the calls to the OpenSSL shared objects for 'PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey()'.

When adding the warning output flags in the 'OpenSSL-1.0.0c/crypt/pem/pem_pkey.c' the password argument would always display as '(null)'.

Correct me if I am looking the wrong spot in helping identify the problem.

Can I get an update on this status?
 [2011-03-08 21:27 UTC] jason dot gerfen at gmail dot com 
On another note. Using strictly SSL commands to generate a new private key using both openssl-0.9.8x & openssl-1.0.0x (installed from source) produce a valid password protected private key.

No feedback was provided. The bug is being suspended because
we assume that you are no longer experiencing the problem.
If this is not the case and you are able to provide the
information that was requested earlier, please do so and
change the status of the bug back to "Open". Thank you.

Why this issue is ignored? There's still no way to generate PKCS#1 format key.
