Simplest PHP curl for submitting an API collect event

[ctrlbrk42]

I am pulling my hair out wondering why my curl function (PHP) is not working to correctly submit my events.

Enabling log_query doesn't show any errors. My request simply is ignored.

Could someone please provide the simplest PHP curl code to submit a custom event like this:

$umami = [
				'payload'		=> [
					'website'		=> 'xyz',
					'hostname'		=> "abc.io",
					'language'		=> "en-US",
					'screen'		=> "1920x1080",
					'url'			=> "/sendmessage.php",
					'event_type'	=> "click",
					'event_value'	=> "test",
					],
				'type'		=> 'event'
			];
			$um_result = umami_curl($umami);


if (!function_exists('umami_curl')) {
	function umami_curl($array) {
		$payload = json_encode($array);
		$ch = curl_init("https://abc.io/api/collect");
		curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, true);
		curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
		curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
		curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
		curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, [
			'X-Forwarded-For: ' . IPADDRESS,
			'Content-Type: application/json',
			'Content-Length: ' . strlen($payload)
		]);

		$result = curl_exec($ch);
		$curl = curl_getinfo($ch);
		curl_close($ch);
		return $curl;
	}
}

The above looks fine to me, but doesn't result in any event being recorded.

I solved it, the issue was related to a bad SSL certificate and how this FPM was accessing the external URL.
