openssl_csr_new
If openssl_csr_sign() works fine when self-signing, but returns FALSE when using $cacert, and there's no error message, it could have something to do with your openssl.cnf file.
In the section [ v3_ca ] there's a setting
authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid:always,issuer:always
If you change it to
authorityKeyIdentifier=issuer:always
the problem might be solved.
openssl_csr_sign
(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5)
openssl_csr_sign — Sign a CSR with another certificate (or itself) and generate a certificate
Descrição
resource openssl_csr_sign
( mixed $csr
, mixed $cacert
, mixed $priv_key
, int $days
[, array $configargs
[, int $serial = 0
]] )
openssl_csr_sign() generates an x509 certificate resource from the given CSR.
Nota: Você precisa ter um válido openssl.cnf instalado para esta função operar corretamente. Veja as notas sobre a seção de instalação para mais informação.
Parâmetros
- csr
-
A CSR previously generated by openssl_csr_new(). It can also be the path to a PEM encoded CSR when specified as file://path/to/csr or an exported string generated by openssl_csr_export().
- cacert
-
The generated certificate will be signed by cacert. If cacert is NULL, the generated certificate will be a self-signed certificate.
- priv_key
-
priv_key is the private key that corresponds to cacert.
- days
-
days specifies the length of time for which the generated certificate will be valid, in days.
- configargs
-
You can finetune the CSR signing by configargs. See openssl_csr_new() for more information about configargs.
- serial
-
An optional the serial number of issued certificate. If not specified it will default to 0.
Valor Retornado
Returns an x509 certificate resource on success, FALSE on failure.

Exemplos
Exemplo #1 openssl_csr_sign() example - signing a CSR (how to implement your own CA)
<?php
// Let's assume that this script is set to receive a CSR that has
// been pasted into a textarea from another page
$csrdata = $_POST["CSR"];
// We will sign the request using our own "certificate authority"
// certificate. You can use any certificate to sign another, but
// the process is worthless unless the signing certificate is trusted
// by the software/users that will deal with the newly signed certificate
// We need our CA cert and its private key
$cacert = "file://path/to/ca.crt";
$privkey = array("file://path/to/ca.key", "your_ca_key_passphrase");
$usercert = openssl_csr_sign($csrdata, $cacert, $privkey, 365);
// Now display the generated certificate so that the user can
// copy and paste it into their local configuration (such as a file
// to hold the certificate for their SSL server)
openssl_x509_export($usercert, $certout);
echo $certout;
// Show any errors that occurred here
while (($e = openssl_error_string()) !== false) {
echo $e . "\n";
}

You can use file_get_contents() to directly pass the content instead of giving file paths.
Also, if you get an error "sec_error_reused_issuer_and_serial", put a serial into the last parameter:
<?php
$privkey = array(file_get_contents('ca.key'),"your_ca_key_passphrase");
$usercert = openssl_csr_sign($csrdata, file_get_contents('ca.crt'),$privkey,365,NULL,'06');
openssl_x509_export($usercert,$certout);
file_put_contents('serverCASigned.crt',$certout);
?>
In that above example the serial was "06".

Here is an sample how to create valid X.509 Public and Private Key (cert/key).
When not using self signed the 4.2.1 segault. You need the CVS code at least for openssl.
<?
Header("Content-Type: text/plain");
$CA_CERT = "CA.cert.pem";
$CA_KEY = "CA.key.pem";
$req_key = openssl_pkey_new();
if(openssl_pkey_export ($req_key, $out_key)) {
$dn = array(
"countryName" => "DE",
"stateOrProvinceName" => "Frankfurt",
"organizationName" => "smcc.net",
"organizationalUnitName" => "E-Mail",
"commonName" => "Testcert"
);
$req_csr = openssl_csr_new ($dn, $req_key);
$req_cert = openssl_csr_sign($req_csr, "file://$CA_CERT", "file://$CA_KEY", 365);
if(openssl_x509_export ($req_cert, $out_cert)) {
echo "$out_key\n";
echo "$out_cert\n";
}
else echo "Failed Cert\n";
}
else echo "FailedKey\n";
?>

To generate a self-signed certificate, pass NULL as the signing certificate (2nd parameter). For example:
$req_key = openssl_pkey_new();
$dn = array(
"countryName" => "US",
"stateOrProvinceName" => "Colorado",
"organizationName" => "yPass.net",
"organizationalUnitName" => "yPass.net",
"commonName" => "yPass.net Root Certificate"
);
$req_csr = openssl_csr_new($dn, $req_key);
$req_cert = openssl_csr_sign($req_csr, NULL, $req_key, 365);
