How can SSL certificate issues affecting cURL execution be resolved in PHP?

When encountering SSL certificate issues affecting cURL execution in PHP, you can resolve it by setting the "CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER" option to false in the cURL request. This will disable SSL certificate verification and allow the request to proceed without checking the certificate validity. 

$url = 'https://example.com/api';

$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); // Disable SSL certificate verification
$response = curl_exec($ch);

if($response === false){
    echo 'cURL error: ' . curl_error($ch);
}

curl_close($ch);
