How to get SSL certificate info with CURL in PHP?

You will get the certificate as a resource using stream_context_get_params. Plug that resource into $certinfo = openssl_x509_parse($cert['options']['ssl']['peer_certificate']); to get more certificate information.

$url = "http://www.google.com";
$orignal_parse = parse_url($url, PHP_URL_HOST);
$get = stream_context_create(array("ssl" => array("capture_peer_cert" => TRUE)));
$read = stream_socket_client("ssl://".$orignal_parse.":443", $errno, $errstr, 30, STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT, $get);
$cert = stream_context_get_params($read);
$certinfo = openssl_x509_parse($cert['options']['ssl']['peer_certificate']);
print_r($certinfo);
