How to force PHP to only connect to TLSv1.2 site

I am trying to connect using curl in PHP to Pronto Cycle Share (using PHP 5.6.2). This site works in a browser and from the command line.

According to SSL Labs , it only accepts TLS 1.2.

In PHP, using CURL (version 7.28.1), PHP cannot agree and gives me Curl error: error:14094410:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert handshake failure

Using file_get_contents, the code:

$ctx = stream_context_create([
'ssl' => [
    'crypto_method' => STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_TLS_CLIENT
  ],
]);
$html = file_get_contents($url, false, $ctx);

      

        
        
        
      

    

Return:

Message:  file_get_contents(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages: error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure

      

        
        
        
      

    

print_r(OPENSSL_VERSION_TEXT)

says OpenSSL 0.9.8r on Feb 8, 2011, so pretty old. I am using MAMP PRO on Mac.

Is there a way to connect to this server using simple PHP methods?
