WSDL-SOAP Webservice on PHP - php

Question

I have created php file. It contains details about to access (wsdl)xml file and function. I need to call a function with paramaters but i can't able to call a function. So, I have been given a WSDL file and I need to create a SOAP service for it in PHP. Could any one tell me what the correct way of doing it is?
Here is link of the WSDL: http://178.211.55.56/se/ws/wf_ws.php?wsdl
and
Here is my php code:
require_once 'lib/nusoap.php';
ini_set("soap.wsdl_cache_enabled", "0");
$soapclient = new nusoap_client("http://178.211.55.56/se/ws/wf_ws.php?wsdl",'wsdl');
$soapclient->setHTTPProxy("soap:address_location",8080,"usr_name","pwd");
when run above the php code return this error:
wsdl error: Getting "WSDL link" - HTTP ERROR: Couldn't open socket
connection to server "WSDL link" prior to connect(). This is often a
problem looking up the host name.

Try to use http://php.net/manual/en/class.soapclient.php
All you need is:
Create SOAP client:
$client = new SoapClient("http://178.211.55.56/se/ws/wf_ws.php?wsdl");
You can pass many options to the constructor, such as proxy, cache settings, etc.
Some examples for you:
$client = new SoapClient("some.wsdl", array('soap_version' => SOAP_1_2));
$client = new SoapClient("some.wsdl", ['login' => "some_name", 'password'=> "some_password"]);
$client = new SoapClient("some.wsdl", ['proxy_host' => "localhost", 'proxy_port' => 8080]);
If ssl certificate is wrong you can ignore it. Example is here: https://gist.github.com/akalongman/56484900eaf19b18cfbd
Call one of the service defined functions:
$result = $client->getResult(['param_name' => 'param_value']);
Pay attention that your service function may have required parameters. Usually it can be found in the result message.
