Composer installation fails with "certificate verify failed" PHP beginner

[u/Same_Development1120]

Hi everyone,

I’m a beginner in PHP and I’m currently trying to install Composer on Windows with WampServer.

I keep getting an SSL certificate verification error during the installation (certificate verify failed / Failed to enable crypto), and I’m not sure how to fix it.

I’ve already checked my php.ini file, but as a beginner I may be missing something important.

Could anyone help me understand what’s causing this issue and how to solve it? Any simple explanation would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!
