Got a similar response with https WSDL URL using php soapClient

SoapFault exception: [WSDL] SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load from ...

After server has been updated from PHP 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.21 >> PHP 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.23 something went wrong for my client machine osx 10.12.6 / PHP 5.6.30, but MS Web Services Clients connections could be made without issues.

Apache2's server_access.log showed no entry when i tried to load WSDL so i added 'cache_wsdl' => WSDL_CACHE_NONE to prevent client-side wsdl caching, but still got no entries. Finally i tried to load wsdl per CURL -i checked HEADERS but all seemed to be ok..

Only libxml_get_last_error() provided some insight > SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed

So I added some ssl options to my call:

$contextOptions = array(
    'ssl' => array(
    'verify_peer' => false,
    'verify_peer_name' => false,
    'allow_self_signed' => true
    ));

$sslContext = stream_context_create($contextOptions);

$params =  array(
    'trace' => 1,
    'exceptions' => true,
    'cache_wsdl' => WSDL_CACHE_NONE,
    'stream_context' => $sslContext
    );

try {
    $proxy = new SoapClient( $wsdl_url, $params );
} catch (SoapFault $proxy) {
    var_dump(libxml_get_last_error());
    var_dump($proxy);
}

In my case 'allow_self_signed' => true did the trick!

On register client php make sure that the URL that has been passed to SoapClient is accessible from the machine you re executing the code    sClient   new SoapClient  http   127 0 0 1 MyRegistration login wsdl          If 127 0 0 0 does not work you can try using some network IP address and see   Let me know if it still does not fix it for you  I did try with your example and changing path  making it proper in my dev  environment  has fixed same error for me   I would be interested to know if it does not fix it for you

If anyone has the same problem  one possible solution is to set the bindto stream context configuration parameter  assuming you re connecting from 11 22 33 44 to 55 66 77 88     context          socket    gt             bindto    gt   55 66 77 88             options          soapVersion    gt  SOAP 1 1       stream context    gt  stream context create  context       client   new Client  11 22 33 44    options

If you use docker there is a chance you get error because of OpenSSL default security level  You need lower seclevel in  etc ssl openssl cnf from DEFAULT SECLEVEL 2 to DEFAULT SECLEVEL 1 Or just add into Dockerfile RUN sed -i  quot s DEFAULT SECLEVEL 2 DEFAULT SECLEVEL 1 g quot   etc ssl openssl cnf  Source  https   github com dotnet runtime issues 30667 issuecomment-566482876 After that change I can run SoapClient without any additional options  You can verify it by run on container curl -A  cURL User Agent  -4 https   ewus nfz gov pl ws-broker-server-ewus services Auth wsdl

The problem may lie in you don t have enabled openssl extention in your php ini file  go to your php ini file end remove   in line where extension openssl is  Of course in question code there is a part of code responsible for checking whether extension is loaded or not but maybe some uncautious forget about it
