I'm getting a strange error in PHP while trying to use CURL:

Error2 [60]: error setting certificate verify locations: CAfile: /usr/local/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt CApath: none

What causes this error? I'm connecting to paypal and trying to create a gateway.

The problem is you are connecting to a secure site, you need to add some SSL constants to your curl code

hmm, how do I add SSL to CURL?

[John]

<?php

   $ch = curl_init();

   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://www.paypal.com");

   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);

   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT,  "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)");

   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);

   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);

   $returned = curl_exec($ch);

   curl_close($ch);

   echo $returned;

?>

untested...

I tweaked this a little bit and it worked. Thank you for your help.
