The list of Signature Algorithms (constants) is very limited! Fortunately the newer versions of php/openssl allow you to specify the signature algorithm as a string.
You can use the 'openssl_get_md_methods' method to get a list of digest methods. Only some of them may be used to sign with RSA private keys.
Those that can be used to sign with RSA private keys are: md4, md5, ripemd160, sha, sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384, sha512
Here's the modified Example #1 with SHA-512 hash:
<?php
// $data is assumed to contain the data to be signed
// fetch private key from file and ready it
$fp = fopen("/src/openssl-0.9.6/demos/sign/key.pem", "r");
$priv_key = fread($fp, 8192);
fclose($fp);
$pkeyid = openssl_get_privatekey($priv_key);
// compute signature with SHA-512
openssl_sign($data, $signature, $pkeyid, "sha512");
// free the key from memory
openssl_free_key($pkeyid);
?>
openssl_sign
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.4, PHP 5)
openssl_sign — Generar una firma
Descripción
bool openssl_sign
( string $data
, string &$signature
, mixed $priv_key_id
[, int $signature_alg = OPENSSL_ALGO_SHA1
] )
openssl_sign() computa una firma para la información data especificada usando SHA1 para el hash, seguido por la encriptación usando la clave privada asociada con priv_key_id. Observe que la información misma no está encriptada.
Parámetros
- data
-
- signature
-
Si la llamada tuvo éxito, la firma es devuelta en signature.
- priv_key_id
-
- signature_alg
-
Para más información vea la lista de Algoritmos de Firma.
Valores devueltos
Devuelve TRUE en caso de éxito o FALSE en caso de error.

$priv_key = fread($fp, 8192);
fclose($fp);
$pkeyid = openssl_get_privatekey($priv_key);
// computar la firma

This may help if you just want a real-simple private/public key pair:
<?php
$data = "Beeeeer is really good.. hic...";
// You can get a simple private/public key pair using:
// openssl genrsa 512 >private_key.txt
// openssl rsa -pubout <private_key.txt >public_key.txt
// IMPORTANT: The key pair below is provided for testing only.
// For security reasons you must get a new key pair
// for production use, obviously.

Hello,
the fourth parameter 'signature_alg' to choose the signature algorithm can be one of:
OPENSSL_ALGO_SHA1
OPENSSL_ALGO_MD5
OPENSSL_ALGO_MD4
OPENSSL_ALGO_MD2
Just for the case that somebody needs this.
Regards
