Question

I am using the following code to access a URL (the URL uses the https protocol, and has a valid certificate)

// Initialize session and set URL.
$url = https://my url;
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

// Set so curl_exec returns the result instead of outputting it.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

// Get the response and close the channel.
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

But the output i get is this:

Failed: Error Number: 60. Reason: SSL certificate problem, verify that
the CA cert is OK. Details: error:14090086:SSL
routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed

Can somebody please guide me?

Answer 1

use ‘CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER’

$res = curl_init ('url');
curl_setopt($res,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
$out = curl_exec($res);
curl_close($res);
echo $out;
