Because you said that it works fine locally it indicates that it is a problem with the code but rather with the server configuration. It's hard to say what the exact issue is but I would do the following
Check the server log files for any errors
Make sure the you have enabled SSL in your php.ini by check that the following line is - uncommented extension=php_openssl.dll
Make sure that port 465 is open
Try those to start with and see what happens
