is there a Curl -v argument in php? - php

Question

Is there any Curl function in PHP that is similar to the '-v' argument from the linux shell?
Because the '-v' argument gives me something like this:
$ curl -v https://www.bankinter.com
* About to connect() to www.bankinter.com port 443 (#0)
* Trying 195.235.25.185... connected

From the CURL documentation:
-v, --verbose Make the operation more talkative
So with this in mind, you could add the CURL option VERBOSE and then save the output to a file. Try this:
CURL option
$outputFile = 'curlOutput.txt';
$handle=curl_init('https://www.bankinter.com');
curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true);
curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_STDERR,$f = fopen($outputFile, "w+"));
curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_CERTINFO, true);
curl_exec($handle);
fclose($f);
CURL alternative
$g = stream_context_create (array("ssl" => array("capture_peer_cert" => true)));
$r = stream_socket_client("ssl://www.google.com:443", $errno, $errstr, 30, STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT, $g);
$cont = stream_context_get_params($r);
print_r( openssl_x509_parse($cont["options"]["ssl"]["peer_certificate"]) );
