Answer 1

After struggling for almost one month I have been able to solve my problem. The problem was with Cacert.pem file which was missing in my php folder in xampp directory. I downloaded new carcet.pem from https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem and saved it as carcet.pem.txt in my php folder inside the xampp directory. I then opened php.ini file inside php folder and changed ;curl.cainfo= to curl.cainfo="C:\xampp\php\cacert.pem.txt". Do not forget the .txt extension and also don't forget to restart your xampp. That solved the problem for me.
