(PHP Extension) Use a Custom Set of Trusted Root Certificates

Demonstrates how to build a set of trusted root certificates to be used globally by all Chilkat classes.

Chilkat PHP Downloads PHP Extension for Windows, Linux, MacOS, Alpine Linux, Solaris

<?php

// The version number (9_5_0) should match version of the Chilkat extension used, omitting the micro-version number.
// For example, if using Chilkat v9.5.0.48, then include as shown here:
include("chilkat_9_5_0.php");

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// root CA certificates:  https://www.thawte.com/roots/index.html
// The direct download link is: https://www.verisign.com/support/thawte-roots.zip
// Note: The above URLs are valid at the time of writing this example (29-May-2015).

// Assuming the .zip has already been downloaded, open it and load each .pem file into
// our trusted roots object.
