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

summary - what i tried

after macOS update to Big Sur 11.7.3,
fixed Xcode and made sure Command Line Tools are 13.2.1 per brew doctor
Used brew doctor to fix all warnings until "ready to brew" returned
completed brew update && brew upgrade
Fixed asdf, fixed python, fixed nodejs, couldn't fix php
so
followed instructions from grav for multiple php versions

brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies openssl
brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies openssl
brew install openssl
# put openssl first in the path
brew tap shivammathur/php
brew install shivammathur/php/php@7.4
# edit php.ini, httpd.conf, and verify ~/.bashrc
# tested 
brew unlink php && brew link --overwrite --force php@7.4
brew services restart php@7.4
# check http://localhost:8080/info.php

brew install shivammathur/php/php@8.1
# edit php.ini, httpd.conf, and verify ~/.bashrc
brew unlink php && brew link --overwrite --force php@8.1
# tested by brew services restart httpd and php@8.1
# check http://localhost:8080/info.php 
# installed [PHP switcher script](https://gist.github.com/rhukster/f4c04f1bf59e0b74e335ee5d186a98e2)
# check with 
sphp 7.4
sphp 8.1

Install 8.2

brew install shivammathur/php/php@8.2
brew unlink php && brew link --overwrite --force php@8.2
# edit php.imi, httpd.conf and varify .bashrc
brew services restart shivammathur/php/php
# brew services only shows php@7.4 and php@8.1 but 
# php@8.1 started      <username>  ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.php@8.1.plist
# 
brew reinstall $(brew deps shivammathur/php/php@8.1) shivammathur/php/php@8.1
sphp 8.2
# still starting 8.1
sphp 8.1
# check info.php in localhost -seems fimne

Attempt update Xdebug

pecl uninstall -r xdebug
pecl install xdebug

• install completes and xdebug info available in localhost:info.php
• but still seeing errors:

• 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
