SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate in certificate chain

[Nirvanatin]

I am using GetUpdate method but I am still facing SSL error. What settings I need to set in GetUpdate method?

Seem that you configuration can't start ssl connection.
Which os version? php version? curl version?
Maybe your machine is using some obsolete ssl cipher that the telegram server don't support anymore.

Windows 8.1, PHP Version 5.6.8, curl 7.40.0.
I don't want to use webhook method thus it doesn't require SSL, right?

Looks like a PHP/cURL issue, because it's sending the request using SSL to the Telegram API.
You are correct that you don't need any SSL to use the getUpdates() method, but your server needs an up to date CA bundle to communicate with the Telegram API server.

I found this guide for Windows online: https://wiki.cacert.org/HowTo/InstallCAcertRoots
As I don't use Windows I can't confirm that this works, but maybe you could give it a try and report back.
