Checklist: Preparing for the system upgrade to TLS 1.2

If you host your own website, check if your system already supports TLS 1.2.
If you or your hosted environment do not support TLS 1.2, arrange/request an upgrade.
Code your system to always use the highest version of TLS available; avoid hardcoding versions.

<?php 

$ch = curl_init('https://www.howsmyssl.com/a/check');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

echo $json->tls_version;
echo "\n";
