Answer 1

Today i am solving this problem and i came to know about it.
See. Below is code that is working for me.
// Set so curl_exec returns the result instead of outputting it.<br/>
$url = "https://www.google.co.in/?gws_rd=ssl";<br/>
$ch = curl_init();<br/>
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);<br/><br/>
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);<br/>
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);<br/>
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);<br/>
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CAINFO, getcwd() . "GeoTrustGlobalCA.crt");
<br/>
// Get the response and close the channel.<br/>
$response = curl_exec($ch);<br/>
$link = fopen("data.txt","w+");<br/>
fputs($link,$response);<br/>
fclose($link);<br/>
curl_close($ch);<br/>
You have pass certificate on this..
On Mozilla firefox left handside of website URL you get one information icon. Then click on Security tab then find View certificate. Click on Details Tab.
See Certificate Hierarchy Section. Click on top most label and see below there is an option as EXPORT. Export that certificate and save the CA certificate to your selected location, making sure to select the X.509 Certificate (PEM) as the save type/format.
e.g.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CAINFO, getcwd() . "GeoTrustGlobalCA.crt");
Now save it and run.. You will get the data..

Answer 2

use
curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false)
