Ok well if the EVP interface and the RSA interface pretty much do the same
thing I would imagine that the php openssl_sign and openssl_private_encrypt
functions will generate a signature/encrypted data that EVP can
verify/decrypt?

At the moment I can get openssl_sign and RSA_sign to generate the same
output.

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...
