Nevermind, I found it. PHP.net doesn't make it too clear that you have
to send the data for opensl_pkey_get_private() as an array:

$private_key = openssl_pkey_get_private(array("file://$priv_key",
$passphrase))

It may be that I'm using a slightly older version of OpenSSL, but this
fixed it for me.
