Yes, that's required to use the openssl functions in php... but still
doesn't explain where the EVP functions are...

when building php; include the --with-openssl= option

- on unix/linux platforms it would look something like...

./configure --with-openssl=[DIR]; does a dynamic bind of libssl & libcrypto
libraries.

check the built php binary with the ldd command.

Hm. There must be something wrong here.
I'm almost sure that the EVP interface is available to PHP.
Could any PHP user please shed some light ?

Absolutely.

The RSA low level encrypt / decrypt / sign functions are
available for special cases for experienced users that really know
what they are doing.

For all normal operations there is the EVP (or even the SMIME/PKCS7)
interface...
