Equivalent of a CURL command with certificates in PHP

Question

I'm need to know how to write the follow CURL command in PHP, I tried it from various modes and I searched in many articles here in the StackOverflow and I tried to adaptate the code but nothing is really working:

curl -v --insecure --cert public-certified-with-chain.pem --key private-key.key -nodes GET "MY_URL" "accept: */*"

I managed to reach this stage, but it doesn't work:

   $ch = curl_init();

   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://...');
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);

   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 1);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 1);

   $result = curl_exec($ch);

   echo $result;

The code above is simplified, it return a result, but still showing "Unauthorized".

How to adapt it to attach the files?

I don't know. When I send it to server is returned 'Unauthorized'. But when I use the CURL as command line it work well. — UserOfStackOverFlow, Jan 03 '22 at 12:37
Check the error using ['curl_error()`](https://www.php.net/curl_%20error) and then show us the error — RiggsFolly, Jan 03 '22 at 12:40
I edited the question. Apparently this action should be simple. In this article: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7958892/passing-pem-and-key-as-string-in-curl-using-php A answer recomends to use 'stream_get_meta_data', maybe be it? — UserOfStackOverFlow, Jan 03 '22 at 13:10
I could post a more versatile function that would give access to more verbose information about the request which is often really useful in debugging requests with curl that fail. It might help — Professor Abronsius, Jan 03 '22 at 13:16

curl's --cert option corresponds to CURLOPT_SSLCERT, which isn't present in your PHP code.

I suggest you add --libcurl sample.c to your command line to get a code template (in C), that you then can translate to PHP.

Also, the command line shown in the question doesn't appear to be a fully working curl command line.
