What are some common challenges faced when using PHP for banking API integration?

One common challenge faced when using PHP for banking API integration is handling secure communication over HTTPS. To solve this, you need to ensure that your PHP application is properly configured to make secure requests to the API using SSL/TLS protocols. 

// Example code snippet for making a secure HTTPS request using cURL in PHP

$url = 'https://api.bank.com/endpoint';
$ch = curl_init($url);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);

$response = curl_exec($ch);

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

curl_close($ch);
