Hi Team

How do i pass this problem? basically i am creating a basic authentication in php using end point. I am using wampp server to test this under the folder www the file is there and cacert.perm both reside. When i called localhost:port and filename.php got this ssl certificate.

What I have tried:

<?php
// Set up the request URL and headers
$url = 'https://www.axxess.co.za/careers/dev-test';
$headers = array(
    'Authorization: Basic ' . base64_encode('applicant:canCode')
);

// Initialize a cURL session
$ch = curl_init();

// Set the cURL options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CAINFO, __DIR__ . '/cacert.pem');

// Set the request data
$data = array(
    'first_name' => 'John',
    'last_name' => 'Doe',
    'mobile_number' => '1234567890',
    'email_address' => 'johndoe@example.com',
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($data));

// Execute the request and store the response
$response = curl_exec($ch);

// Check for errors
if(curl_errno($ch)) {
    echo 'Error: ' . curl_error($ch);
}

// Close the cURL session
curl_close($ch);

// Output the response
echo $response;
?>
