What steps can be taken to troubleshoot a PHP script that appears to be executing but not producing the desired output when sending a query to an HTTPS site?

Issue: If a PHP script is not producing the desired output when sending a query to an HTTPS site, it may be due to SSL certificate verification failure. To solve this issue, you can disable SSL certificate verification in your PHP script.

// Disable SSL certificate verification
stream_context_set_default(
    array(
        'ssl' => array(
            'verify_peer' => false,
            'verify_peer_name' => false,
        ),
    )
);

// Your HTTPS query code here
