My script is to geocode lat long from Google apis. It works online on my hosting providers server but not on localhost.. WHY??

$latlng = "44.3585230889,8.57745766643";
$lang = "it";
$geocodeURL = "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=$latlng&sensor=false&language=$lang";

$ch = curl_init($geocodeURL);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
$httpCode = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
curl_close($ch);

if ($httpCode == 200) {
    $geocode = json_decode($result);

    $location   = $geocode->results[0]->address_components[0]->long_name;
    $city       = $geocode->results[0]->address_components[1]->long_name; 
    $province   = $geocode->results[0]->address_components[2]->long_name; 
    $region     = $geocode->results[0]->address_components[3]->long_name;
    $country    = $geocode->results[0]->address_components[4]->long_name;

    $geo_status = $geocode->status;     
    $geo_str    = "$location, $city, $province, $region, $country";
} else {
    $geo_status = "HTTP_FAIL_$httpCode";
    $geo_str    = "Failed: $geo_status";
}

If your OS dont provide cacert.pem file to your local server for SSL certificate validation, you can download it and specify it in php.ini

cacert.pem

php.ini:

[openssl]
; The location of a Certificate Authority (CA) file on the local filesystem
; to use when verifying the identity of SSL/TLS peers. Most users should
; not specify a value for this directive as PHP will attempt to use the
; OS-managed cert stores in its absence. If specified, this value may still
; be overridden on a per-stream basis via the "cafile" SSL stream context
; option.
openssl.cafile=C:\wamp64\cacert.pem

On a local server (eg XAMPP) with a self-signed certificate you must use:

curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

Note: Despite being unsafe for testing environments it solves the problem.
Remember to activate for production servers !!!

You may need to set the SSL version and the matching Cipher for $ch:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST, 'TLSv1');

For the exact parameters you can pass to CURLOPT_SSLVERSION see: http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php

Also the following can display errors related to SSL versions being used to help find exact version conflict you have:

$error = curl_error($ch);
echo $error;

More on this command: http://php.net/manual/en/ref.curl.php

In MAMP, if you are getting errors when connecting to HTTPS hosts, just set this option:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION,3);

The equivalent by command line is:

curl -k -ssl3 https://www.your-secure-host.com

It's not about proxy, it's about how to use googleapis.

Add CURLOPT_SSL_ on your code and set them into false

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);

If you are behind a proxy, you could try adding CURLOPT_PROXY, for example (assuming your proxy is on 192.168.1.2 port 3128): 

$ch = curl_init($geocodeURL);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, "192.168.1.2:3128");
$result = curl_exec($ch);

Hope this helps.

It's probably a firewall issue. Curl by default tries to use port 1080, which is probably not open on your localhost / router / ISP.

Do you actually have the curl binary installed? You can have the curl library installed with PHP without actually having the curl binary on your system. Drop to a shell prompt and type curl. (If it's standard on OSX then please forgive my ignorance - I'm not a Mac guy)
