How can SSL settings be optimized to successfully access HTTPS sites using PHP scripts?

To optimize SSL settings for accessing HTTPS sites using PHP scripts, you can set specific SSL options using the `stream_context_create` function in PHP. This allows you to customize the SSL parameters such as the SSL version, cipher suites, and verification settings to ensure successful connections to HTTPS sites. 

$opts = [
    'ssl' => [
        'verify_peer' => true,
        'verify_peer_name' => true,
        'allow_self_signed' => false,
        'crypto_method' => STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_TLS_CLIENT,
        'ciphers' => 'HIGH:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!DES:!MD5:!PSK:!RC4:!CAMELLIA:!SEED:!SRP:!IDEA:!ADH:!LOW',
    ],
];

$context = stream_context_create($opts);

$url = 'https://example.com';
$response = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);

echo $response;
