How can I convert data from POSTMAN into PHP Curl Request? - php

Question

I have an API in postman. I want to create a CURL Request and get proper response with it. This is my POSTMAN API.
I am successfully getting this response with it.
"{\"Request\":{\"state\":\"Manama\",\"address\":\"406 Falcon Tower\",\"address2\":\"Diplomatic Area\",\"city\":\"Manama\",\"country\":\"BH\",\"fullname\":\"Dawar Khan\",\"postal\":\"317\"},\"Response\":{\"status\":\"Success\",\"code\":100,\"message\":\"Address is verified\"}}"
Now I want to use this API Call inside my PHP Code. I used this code.
$data = array(
'Request' => 'ValidateAddress',
'address' => test_input($form_data->address),
'secondAddress' => test_input($form_data->secondAddress),
'city' => test_input($form_data->city),
'country' => test_input($form_data->country),
'name' => test_input($form_data->name),
'zipCode' => test_input($form_data->zipCode),
'merchant_id' => 'shipm8',
'hash' => '09335f393d4155d9334ed61385712999'
);
$data_string = json_encode($data);
$url = 'myurl.com/';
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_string);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Content-Type: application/json',
'Content-Length: ' . strlen($data_string))
);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$json_result = json_decode($result, true);
echo '<pre>';print_r($json_result);echo '</pre>';
But I can't see my $json_result. It just echoes <pre></pre> in the view. Can anyone guide me? Thanks in advance. I want to get my Response.
UPDATE
I used curl_error and it gives me the following error.
Curl error: SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate in certificate chain

Answer 2

Answer updated as per updated question.
There are two ways to solve this issue
Lengthy, time-consuming yet clean
Visit URL in web browser.
Open Security details.
Export certificate.
Change cURL options accordingly.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CAINFO, getcwd() . "/CAcerts/BuiltinObjectToken-EquifaxSecureCA.crt");
Quick but dirty
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
We are configuring cURL to accept any server(peer) certificate. This isn’t optimal from a security point of view.
