You can make HTTPS requests in PHP using the cURL library. Here is an example code snippet that demonstrates how to make an HTTPS request:

$url = 'https://example.com/api';
$ch = curl_init($url);

// Set cURL options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

// Execute the request
$response = curl_exec($ch);

// Check for errors
if(curl_errno($ch)){
    echo 'Error: ' . curl_error($ch);
}

// Close cURL session
curl_close($ch);

// Output the response
echo $response;

In this example, we are making a simple HTTPS GET request to 'https://example.com/api'. You can customize the request by setting additional cURL options such as headers, request type (GET, POST, etc.), data to send, etc.

Make sure to enable the cURL extension in your PHP configuration in order to use these functions.
