Hello, welcome to the forums.

The RPM sources for php can be found here. Select the branch you wish to see. For example, the r9 branch is specifically for php 8.0.30, the non-module version of php in Rocky Linux 9.

If you look at the spec file you’ll find various “Patch” lines. For this php version we ship, there are a lot of patches applied to the source during the build. The patch that allows php 8.0 to work with openssl 3 is Patch50: php-8.0.21-openssl3.patch, which would be here.

Indeed, support for OpenSSL 3 was backported to PHP 8.0, and this is quite a huge patch.
