Walter,
I don't know how PHP handles this sort of situation, but I did encounter
something similar on IIS using IE to browse. Maybe the solution will help
you resolve the issue.
As with your situation, the certificate was not issued from a trusted
source. Since the browser didn't know the intermediate issuing authority,
the browser wasn't able to authenticate the trust back to a known root and I
got a nasty warning every time I opened a page. The solution was to install
the whole path of certificates on the server using the Certificates plugin
for mmc--In this case two more certificates. The warning went away because
the server (apparently) was able to give the browser the whole path back to
the trusted root.
Here's a link from InstantSSL explaining this process on Windows/IIS:

And specifically for Apache:
