I was facing a problem like this in my local system but not in the live server. I also mentioned another solution on this page its before, but that was not working in localhost.so find a new solution of this, that is working in the localhost-WAMP Server.

cURL Error #:SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate

sometimes system could not find your cacert.pem in your drive. so you can define this in your code where you are going to use CURL

Note that i am fulfilling all conditions for this like OPEN-SSL library active and other things.

check this code of CURL.

 $curl = curl_init();
 curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
            CURLOPT_URL =>$url,
            CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
            CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "GET",
            CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER=> true,
        ));
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CAINFO, "f:/wamp/bin/cacert.pem"); // <------ 
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CAPATH, "f:/wamp/bin/cacert.pem"); // <------
$response = json_decode(curl_exec($curl),true);
$err = curl_error($curl);
curl_close($curl);

but this solution may not work in live server. because of absolute path of cacert.pem
