How to send a POST request using HTTP context via cURL?

Question

PHP

It is necessary to go through authorization on httsp using certificates, since the https connection on hosting can only be used via cURL, the question arises - how to connect a certificate?
The code is how I do it via cURL, I'm not sure if the certificate is connected:

$url = "https://api.direct.yandex.ru/json-api/v4/";
$request = $request = json_encode($data);
$opts = array(
    'http'=>array(
        'method'=>"POST",
        'content'=>$request,
    )
); 
 
$context = stream_context_create($opts);
stream_context_set_option($context, 'ssl', 'local_cert', '1/solid-cert.crt');

$ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); //Set curl to return the data instead of printing it to the browser.
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $request);
        $data = curl_exec($ch);
        curl_close($ch);

Working example using file_get_contents:

$request = $request = json_encode($data);
$opts = array(
    'http'=>array(
        'method'=>"POST",
        'content'=>$request,
    )
); 
 
$context = stream_context_create($opts);
stream_context_set_option($context, 'ssl', 'local_cert', '1/solid-cert.crt');
$result = file_get_contents('https://api.direct.yandex.ru/json-api/v4/', 0, $context);

Answer 1

Solved:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLCERT, '1/solid-cert.crt');

Answer 2

As far as I know cURL has special options for configuring SSL.
