Error SSL certificate error unable to get local issuer certificate

Question

When I try to use the Mandrill API, I'm getting the following error:

Uncaught exception 'Mandrill_HttpError' with message 'API call to messages/send-template failed: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate'

Hii,

If you don't have access to php.ini, adding this code (after your $ch = curl_init(); line) works for me:

$certificate_location = "C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-Devserver-16.1\ca-bundle.crt"; // modify this line accordingly (may need to be absolute)
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CAINFO, $certificate_location);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CAPATH, $certificate_location);

Then, you will just need to download ca-bundle.crt and save it to location you specified in $certificate_location.

Hope this works!!

Thank You!!
