Stdlib: openssl_get_privatekey() alias missing after openssl_pkey_get_private (ext/openssl/openssl.c) #20306
Description
Category
stdlib · php-src-strict · ext/openssl alias (pairs #20240 get_publickey)
Problem
openssl_pkey_get_private() is registered. Zend also exposes the historical alias openssl_get_privatekey(). openssl_get_publickey() already exists (#20240); the private-key alias does not — legacy code and docs that call openssl_get_privatekey fatal.
