Does openssl_error_string() return anything? Note you should call it multiple times, like

while ($msg = openssl_error_string())
    echo $msg . "<br />\n";

PHP 5.6.17-3 (cli) exhibits the same behavior.

Description:
------------
The docs here (https://secure.php.net/openssl_csr_new) suggest that passing an array that contains "digest_alg" pointing to an algorithm (such as "sha256") will use the given signature algorithm. However, it has no effect.

Modifying the openssl.conf and setting "default_md" to "sha256" under the "[req]" header achieves the desired result.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

$privKey = openssl_pkey_new();
$csr = openssl_csr_new([
    'countryName' => 'US',
    'stateOrProvinceName' => 'MI',
    'localityName' => 'Ann Arbor',
    'organizationName' => 'Duo',
    'commonName' => 'localhost',
    'emailAddress' => '[email protected]'
], $privKey, ['digest_alg' => 'sha256']);
$ssCert = openssl_csr_sign($csr, null, $privKey, 30);

openssl_pkey_export($privKey, $contents);
file_put_contents('private.key', $contents);

openssl_x509_export($ssCert, $contents);
file_put_contents('public.crt', $contents);

Expected result:
----------------
Expect Signature Algorithm from openssl x509 to read "sha256WithRSAEncryption".

Actual result:
--------------
-> % openssl x509 -noout -text -in public.crt
