PHP : Function Reference : OpenSSL Functions : openssl_pkey_new

openssl_pkey_new

Generates a new private key (PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5)
resource openssl_pkey_new ( [array configargs] )

openssl_pkey_new() generates a new private and public key pair. The public component of the key can be obtained using openssl_pkey_get_public().

Note:

You need to have a valid openssl.cnf installed for this function to operate correctly. See the notes under the installation section for more information.

Parameters

configargs

You can finetune the key generation (such as specifying the number of bits) using configargs. See openssl_csr_new() for more information about configargs.

Return Values

Returns a resource identifier for the pkey on success, or FALSE on error.

As you probably found, getting the public key is not as direct as you might think with this documentation.
You can easily get into messages like:
Warning: openssl_pkey_get_public(): Don't know how to get public key from this private key (the documentation lied) in D:\www\keys.php on line 4
The correct steps to get the whole thing seem to be these:
<?
$dn = array("countryName" => 'XX', "stateOrProvinceName" => 'State', "localityName" => 'SomewhereCity', "organizationName" => 'MySelf', "organizationalUnitName" => 'Whatever', "commonName" => 'mySelf', "emailAddress" => 'user@domain.com');
$privkeypass = '1234';
$numberofdays = 365;
$privkey = openssl_pkey_new();
$csr = openssl_csr_new($dn, $privkey);
$sscert = openssl_csr_sign($csr, null, $privkey, $numberofdays);
openssl_x509_export($sscert, $publickey);
openssl_pkey_export($privkey, $privatekey, $privkeypass);
openssl_csr_export($csr, $csrStr);
echo $privatekey; // Will hold the exported PriKey
echo $publickey;  // Will hold the exported PubKey
echo $csrStr;     // Will hold the exported Certificate
?>
Now all you need to do is to make some research on each individual function.
