 New Comment:

I believe that OpenSSL has a verbose mode with more information, which is not coming through PHP.
And since this error only occurs through PHP and not on the openssl CLI, there is no way to use that
verbose flag.

The error message comes from OpenSSL, not PHP. Requests should be filed on their GitHub project: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues

Description:
------------
openssl_error_string() produces useless error message like:

"error:0E06D06C:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string:no value"

How about something more useful that includes the file (so I can be sure it's reading the right
one) and the line number or property name? Like:

"error in configuration file /path/to/some/file.conf: The property
"distinguished_name" in the "req" section cannot be empty. Line 106."
