Thats seems strange for me, why do you want to load ALL engines?? A right way to solve your problem is to properly load OPENSSL config from openssl.cfg file (with a call of OPENSSL_config(NULL) function, for example), where you can specify the required engine to be used for all applications using OpenSSL. man OPENSSL_config: It is strongly recommended that all new applications call OPENSSL_config() or the more sophisticated functions such as CONF_modules_load() during initialization (that is before starting any threads). By doing this an application does not need to keep track of all configuration options and some new functionality can be supported automatically. Unfortunaly, for some reason, PHP openssl extension doesn't do this. That's a bug, IMHO. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-04-11 10:55:39] cataphract@php.net Reading the docs, it would appear ENGINE_cleanup() should be called on shutdown. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-04-05 23:39:16] crrodriguez at opensuse dot org Description: ------------ Currently openssl allows hardware engines to be used, which are usually much faster than the library itself, but PHP does not currently load them if available at Module init.. This is more important now that when openssl is used with new Intel CPUs, it can use AES_NI instruction sets. The attached patch fixes the problem. Test script: --------------- -------------- Expected result: ---------------- engines loaded at MINIT Actual result: -------------- Not currently loaded. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54473&edit=1
