Hello, welcome to the forums.

The RPM sources for php can be found [here](https://git.rockylinux.org/staging/rpms/php). 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](https://git.rockylinux.org/staging/rpms/php/-/blob/r9/SPECS/php.spec) 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](https://git.rockylinux.org/staging/rpms/php/-/blob/r9/SOURCES/php-8.0.21-openssl3.patch).

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