hi,

NID_subject_alt_name is not part of the subject name, as returned by the 
X509_REQ_get_subject_name.

As you can see in your openssl command output, we do return the correct value:
Subject: C=US, ST=Utah, L=Lindon, O=Z Widgets, CN=www.example.edu

However I can see a need to fetch extensions (v3 or v2) and we may need to 
expose X509_get_ext_d2i (or equivalent.

Currently, openssl_x509_parse returns the x509v3 extensions, so it would be nice if there was some way to have an openssl_csr_parse that returns both the subject and the extensions and potentially other fields/extensions in the future.  Right now the only thing we can extract from a CSR with php is the public key and subject.  Thanks.
