SoapClient is a wonderful tool for building requests and parsing responses, but its networking and debugging need improvement. Many times I thought: “I wish I could use cURL instead of SoapClient”, but I didn’t want to reinvent the request/response wheel. So thank you for thinking up the solution and publishing this.

Perfect! just got an error with SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE using https and fixed with

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER,FALSE);

Thanks a lot, this was driving me crazy.

[...] Thanks to Rob Ludwick for providing a workaround using CURL as the transport mechanism instead until PHP fix this. You can read about it on his blog here: http://www.darqbyte.com/2009/10/21/timing-out-php-soap-calls [...]

@John Ennew Ah, that makes sense. In the SOAP services I was consuming, I didn't have to send that along to get it to work properly, but that's a more robust solution. Thanks for the addition!

Hi, thanks for this – I can confirm it works for me.

I had to make a slight improvement when the API changed for the Soap Service I was using. They required a SOAPAction header which the code here does not provide.

Replace the line above:
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(“Content-Type: text/xml”));

With:
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(“Content-Type: text/xml”, “SOAPAction: {$action}”));

Before proiding the SOAPAction I was getting an error message about contract mismatch between client and server.

Perfect solution

huypv – For error I’ve used “try{}catch (Exception $e) {$e->getMessage();}

So I can catch error and continue my own php code.

Thanks alot to Robert

Thanks so much for this – this solved a problem I was having with a bug in php where timeouts don’t work for https calls.
