I’m having issues with Windows MAMP Pro 3.3.1 getting PHP’s CURL to work.
More specifically issue is that I can send requests to APIs using curl_exec, but it always returns false.
When I tried to do the same thing with XAMPP it returns full response with no issues.
I tried changing PHP version, I checked that php curl extensions is enabled and I can see CURL info in phpinfo.
Does any one know why and how to fix this issue with MAMP?

So I’ve seen the issue. Apparently (still need to investigate), a CURL request does not get the certificate from the browser, unlike HTTPS. We’ll need to manually download the certificate of the site and add it to the PHP ini.
I got the certificate from here:
https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem
Add the path to php.ini. You should see ;curl.cainfo under [curl]. Uncomment and add the path:
curl.cainfo = “path_to_certcacert.pem”
Restart apache and it’ll work (at least mine did).
