Description:
------------
When creating new CSR, it will add "ST=Some-State, O=Internet Widgits Pty Ltd" to the subject if not defined in openssl_csr_new -function call. This has been a bug in PHP for a long time.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$config=array(
    "private_key_bits" => 2048,
    "private_key_type" => OPENSSL_KEYTYPE_RSA,
);
$privkey = openssl_pkey_new($config);

$csr = openssl_csr_new(array("C"=>"FI"), $privkey);

openssl_csr_export($csr, $csrout);
echo($csrout);

/* using same system, but command line openssl command to generate csr works just fine. I have been using this code to do csr:
 $csr = shell_exec('openssl req -new -sha256 -key '.$tempDir.'/private.key -outform '.$format.' -subj "'.$subject.'"');
*/
?>
$ php test.php > /tmp/foo3 
$ openssl req -in /tmp/foo3 -noout -text


Expected result:
----------------
Certificate Request:
    Data:
    Version: 0 (0x0)
    Subject: C=FI

Actual result:
--------------
Certificate Request:
    Data:
    Version: 0 (0x0)
    Subject: C=FI, ST=Some-State, O=Internet Widgits Pty Ltd

How does your openssl.cnf look?

I have not checked. But I have tried this with different distros, different php -versions and with different operating systems (macos and linux). Also have tried docker images. And as I notided in the test script, doing the same thing on the same computer using command line openssl command, it will work as expected.

I need different kind of subjects when I am creating certificates for systems other than SSL. That is why to subject is completely different what is normally (SSL) used.

If I create own openssl.cnf file containing: 
distinguished_name  = req_distinguished_name
[req_distinguished_name]
[v3_req]
[v3_ca]

it will work as expected

PHP is using default openssl config which is usually the system one but depends on the installation. This can be overwritten using OPENSSL_CONF environment variable. The default config is always loaded which is on purpose and it can't be changed due to BC.

So the only solution in here is to either change your default config or use specific config for openssl_csr_new.
