The problem here isn't how to parse the signature in php... there are many asn1 decoders that
allow this. This issue is, adding this functionality to php-openssl, as it probably should have
been there already.

FWIW you can get this info with phpseclib, a pure PHP X.509 decoder:
<?php
include('File/X509.php');
$x509 = new File_X509();
$cert = $x509->loadX509('-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIBBzCBrgIJANZXs2GIGRy3MAoGCCqGSM49BAMDMAwxCjAIBgNVBAMMAXgwHhcN

-----END CERTIFICATE-----');
echo $cert['signatureAlgorithm']['algorithm'];
?>
That said "sha256WithRSAEncryption" isn't your signature type. sha384ECDSA is. And
the OID that corresponds to that signature type doesn't seem to be recognized by OpenSSL. At
least not the version I'm using. When I try it with OpenSSL (or phpseclib) I just get the OID:
1.2.840.10045.4.3.3

Description:
------------
One of the main attributes of an x509 certificate that is not parsed or exposed in
openssl_x509_parse, is the signature type. On a linux command line, running "cat
my.pem|openssl x509 -noout -text" does provide the signature type, but there should be a native
way in php to parse this out of a certificate without having to fallback to the command line.
Reading the source code, it looks like someone else tried to add it, but left it commented out, see:
ext/openssl/openssl.c around line 1540...
/*
add_assoc_long(return_value, "signaturetypeLONG", X509_get_signature_type(cert));
add_assoc_string(return_value, "signaturetype",
OBJ_nid2sn(X509_get_signature_type(cert)), 1);
add_assoc_string(return_value, "signaturetypeLN",
OBJ_nid2ln(X509_get_signature_type(cert)), 1);
*/
It was commented out, because the code did not work. Perhaps there is a way to provide this
functionality.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
$cert=<<<EOF
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIBBzCBrgIJANZXs2GIGRy3MAoGCCqGSM49BAMDMAwxCjAIBgNVBAMMAXgwHhcN
MTQwNjA5MTczMjQ1WhcNMjQwNjA2MTczMjQ1WjAMMQowCAYDVQQDDAF4MFkwEwYH
KoZIzj0CAQYIKoZIzj0DAQcDQgAEK8KP9tJ1bZxLGKqNP9JpOkaq9paKoMS4/0wm
6u62b0mArY7xmS5/Nlkyi/GK21QpjSk4vRwkN+tYPeAy/8Bd2TAKBggqhkjOPQQD

mq9Qf/YphH6gWZXX50TGC2OTOUXRm60Cajs3
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
EOF;
$r = openssl_x509_parse($cert);
echo $r['signatureType']."\n";
Expected result:
----------------
string(23) "sha256WithRSAEncryption"
Actual result:
--------------
NULL
