problem I have been unable to resolve for two days

Anyone know how to fix the openssl.so not found error?

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'openssl.so' (tried: /usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20210902/openssl.so (dlopen(/usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20210902/openssl.so, 9): image not found), /usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20210902/openssl.so.so (dlopen(/usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20210902/openssl.so.so, 9): image not found)) in Unknown on line 0

• Searched all local drives for openssl.so - only found in backups from 2019 when I was using anaconda and doing some stuff in R

brew info php@8.1

• Shows openssl@1.1 ✔,

• Checked for extension_dir in php.ini (/usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20210902)

• contains the three things installed by pecl - xdebug.so, imagick.so, yaml.so

php --ini
