Im having a problem with SoapClient and PHP 7.0 to parse wsdl.
Im getting this error:
SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load from 'https://ws.ocasa.com/testecommerce/service.asmx?wsdl' : failed to load external entity "https://ws.ocasa.com/testecommerce/service.asmx?wsdl"
If you put this URL in a browser you can see the SOAP, and also in SoapUI it works OK.
I'm using laravel 5.4, and my code is:
$client = new \SoapClient('https://ws.ocasa.com/testecommerce/service.asmx?wsdl',
['soap_version'=>SOAP_1_2]);
I noticed that that website is under SSL TLS 1.0. If I change PHP to 5.6, it works perfect, but with PHP 7.0 it does not work.
If I change to this other WSDL:
https://id3check.gb.co.uk/gbportalinternational/aspx/id3check_1b.asmx?WSDL
Everything works fine.
Thank you
you could choose to ignore a bad cert:
$endpoint = new SOAPClient($url,
array(
'soap_version'=>SOAP_1_2,
'stream_context' => stream_context_create(
array(
'ssl' => array(
'verify_peer' => false,
'verify_peer_name' => false
)
)
)
)
);
This would be a solution, should you not have access to the soap server to correct the certificate, or be able to elsewise make your server accept the certificate.
This should be the last solution as indeed you ignore all warnings something is wrong
I have a website which frequently makes SOAP calls to a particular API. The site was working fine for a few months of time, however the SOAP functionality suddenly stopped working without any known reason, the error was "Cannot connect to host".
The WSDL service has not moved or shut down.
After this I updated plesk from version 12 to version 17. SOAP client is still not working but now its a different error:
SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load from (URL) : failed to load external entity (URL)
This is my SOAP call:
$opts = array('http'=>array('user_agent' => 'PHPSoapClient'));
$context = stream_context_create($opts);
libxml_disable_entity_loader(false);
$client = new SoapClient($url,array('stream_context' => $context,'cache_wsdl' => WSDL_CACHE_NONE));
Any possible solutions?
EDIT:
New information came in, so the API server had DNS problems, how can I restore my connection to the API?
Your php server is clearly not reaching out the soap server. This might help:
Try checking directly from php server if the service are reachable:
wget {url} > page.txt
nano (or equivalent) page.txt
Try using other program to consume the server, I suggest Soap Ui
On the php server try ping the service url and see if the IP is resolved.
Check if any other soap service is reachable, you can use this service
If this not help you coming up with a solution, post here the results to help others solving it.
I have a problem co communicate with SOAP service in php:
My code for client:
$url = "https://XXXX.com/DataService.svc?singleWsdl";
$client = new SoapClient($url);
var_dump($client->__getFunctions()); // ExportScheduleData(ExportScheduleData $parameters)
$aclient->ExportScheduleData(array());
I got:
Uncaught SoapFault exception: [HTTP] Cannot process the message because the content type 'text/xml; charset=utf-8' was not the expected type 'application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8'.
change soap version to 1.2:
$client = new SoapClient($url, array('soap_version' => SOAP_1_2));
And request could not be completed: when I refresh page it still in loaging state - any errors or so.
===== update =====
Looks like service use WS-Security. They provide certificate file, but:
Warning: SoapClient::SoapClient(): Unable to set local cert chain file `C:\xampp\htdocs\workspace\sandbox.dev\public\sandbox.cer'; Check that your cafile/capath settings include details of your certificate and its issuer in C:\xampp\htdocs\workspace\sandbox.dev\public\sandbox.php on line 34
Resolved.
Write a Java application for ws-secutity check and and query java app from php script. I use java tcp server.
This works fine on my WAMP server, but doesn't work on the linux master server!?
try{
$client = new SoapClient('http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl', ['trace' => true]);
$result = $client->checkVat([
'countryCode' => 'DK',
'vatNumber' => '47458714'
]);
print_r($result);
}
catch(Exception $e){
echo $e->getMessage();
}
What am I missing here?! :(
SOAP is enabled

For some versions of php, the SoapClient does not send http user agent information. What php versions do you have on the server vs your local WAMP?
Try to set the user agent explicitly, using a context stream as follows:
try {
$opts = array(
'http' => array(
'user_agent' => 'PHPSoapClient'
)
);
$context = stream_context_create($opts);
$wsdlUrl = 'http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl';
$soapClientOptions = array(
'stream_context' => $context,
'cache_wsdl' => WSDL_CACHE_NONE
);
$client = new SoapClient($wsdlUrl, $soapClientOptions);
$checkVatParameters = array(
'countryCode' => 'DK',
'vatNumber' => '47458714'
);
$result = $client->checkVat($checkVatParameters);
print_r($result);
}
catch(Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}
Edit
It actually seems to be some issues with the web service you are using. The combination of HTTP over IPv6, and missing HTTP User Agent string, seems to give the web service problems.
To verify this, try the following on your linux host:
curl -A '' -6 http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl
this IPv6 request fails.
curl -A 'cURL User Agent' -6 http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl
this IPv6 request succeeds.
curl -A '' -4 http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl
curl -A 'cURL User Agent' -4 http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl
both these IPv4 request succeeds.
Interesting case :) I guess your linux host resolves ec.europa.eu to its IPv6 address, and that your version of SoapClient did not add a user agent string by default.
Security issue: This answer disables security features and should not be used in production!
Try this. I hope it helps
$options = [
'cache_wsdl' => WSDL_CACHE_NONE,
'trace' => 1,
'stream_context' => stream_context_create(
[
'ssl' => [
'verify_peer' => false,
'verify_peer_name' => false,
'allow_self_signed' => true
]
]
)
];
$client = new SoapClient($url, $options);
This issue can be caused by the libxml entity loader having been disabled.
Try running libxml_disable_entity_loader(false); before instantiating SoapClient.
It may be helpful for someone, although there is no precise answer to this question.
My soap url has a non-standard port(9087 for example), and firewall blocked that request and I took each time this error:
ERROR - 2017-12-19 20:44:11 --> Fatal Error - SOAP-ERROR: Parsing
WSDL: Couldn't load from 'http://soalurl.test:9087/orawsv?wsdl' :
failed to load external entity "http://soalurl.test:9087/orawsv?wsdl"
I allowed port in firewall and solved the error!
Try changing
$client = new SoapClient('http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl', ['trace' => true]);
to
$client = new SoapClient('http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl', ['trace' => true, 'cache_wsdl' => WSDL_CACHE_MEMORY]);
Also (whether that works or not), check to make sure that /tmp is writeable by your web server and that it isn't full.
Try enabling openssl extension in your php.ini if it is disabled.
This way I could access the web service without need of any extra arguments, i.e.,
$client = new SoapClient(url);
None of the above works for me, so after a lot of research, I ended up pre-downloading the wsdl file, saving it locally, and passing that file as the first parameter to SoapClient.
Worth mentioning is that file_get_contents($serviceUrl) returned empty response for me, while the url opened fine in my browser. That is probably why SoapClient also could not load the wsdl document. So I ended up downloading it with the php curl library. Here is an example
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $serviceUrl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
$wsdl = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$wsdlFile = '/tmp/service.wsdl';
file_put_contents($wsdlFile, $wsdl);
$client = new SoapClient($wsdlFile);
You can of course implement your own caching policy for the wsdl file, so it won't be downloaded on each request.
503 means the functions are working and you're getting a response from the remote server denying you. If you ever tried to cURL google results the same thing happens, because they can detect the user-agent used by file_get_contents and cURL and as a result block those user agents. It's also possible that the server you're accessing from also has it's IP address blackballed for such practices.
Mainly three common reasons why the commands wouldn't work just like the browser in a remote situation.
1) The default USER-AGENT has been blocked.
2) Your server's IP block has been blocked.
3) Remote host has a proxy detection.
After hours of analysis reading tons of logs and internet, finally found problem.
If you use docker and php 7.4 (my case) you probably get error because default security level in OpenSSL it too high for wsdl cert. Even if you disable verify and allow self-signed in SoapClient options.
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 "s|DEFAULT#SECLEVEL=2|DEFAULT#SECLEVEL=1|g" /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf
Source: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/30667#issuecomment-566482876
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
Before that change I got error:
SSL routines:tls_process_ske_dhe:dh key too small
It was solved for me this way:
Every company from which you provide "Host" has a firewall.
This error occurs when your source IP is not defined in that firewall.
Contact the server administrator to add the IP.
Or the target IP must be defined in the server firewall whitelist.
I use the AdWords API, and sometimes I have the same problem.
My solution is to add
ini_set('default_socket_timeout', 900);
on the file
vendor\googleads\googleads-php-lib\src\Google\AdsApi\AdsSoapClient.php line 65
and in the
vendor\googleads-php-lib\src\Google\AdsApi\Adwords\Reporting\v201702\ReportDownloader.php line 126
ini_set('default_socket_timeout', 900);
$requestOptions['stream_context']['http']['timeout'] = "900";
Google package overwrite the default php.ini parameter.
Sometimes, the page could connect to 'https://adwords.google.com/ap
i/adwords/mcm/v201702/ManagedCustomerService?wsdl and sometimes no.
If the page connects once, The WSDL cache will contain the same page, and the program will be ok until the code refreshes the cache...
Adding ?wsdl at the end and calling the method:
$client->__setLocation('url?wsdl');
helped to me.
I might have read all questions about this for two days. None of the answers worked for me.
In my case I was lacking cURL module for PHP.
Be aware that, just because you can use cURL on terminal, it does not mean that you have PHP cURL module and it is active.
There was no error showing about it. Not even on /var/log/apache2/error.log
How to install module:
(replace version number for the apropiated one)
sudo apt install php7.2-curl
sudo service apache2 reload
I had the same problem
From local machines everything work (wamp + php5.5.38 or vagrant + php 7.4), but from prod linux server I had error
SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load from 'http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl' : failed to load external entity "http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl"
From redirect path plugin in chrome I discovered permanent redirect to https, but change url to https doesnt help.
Status Code URL IP Page Type Redirect Type Redirect URL
301 http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl 147.67.210.30 server_redirect permanent https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl
200 https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl 147.67.210.30 normal none none
After few attempts of different code solutions helped my our server provider. He discovered problem in IP forwarding with ipv6.
http://ec.europa.eu/
Pinging ec.europa.eu [147.67.34.30] with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Recommendation was user stream_context_create with socket and bind to 0:0. this forces ipv4
// https://www.php.net/manual/en/context.socket.php
$streamContextOptions = [
'socket' => [
'bindto' => '0:0'
],
];
$streamContext = stream_context_create($streamContextOptions);
$soapOptions = [
'stream_context' => $streamContext
];
$service = new SoapClient('https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl', $soapOptions);
I had similar error because I accidently removed attribute
[ServiceContract] from my contract, yet the service host was still opening successfully. Blunders happen
May try to see if the endpoint supports https as well
Below solution worked for me.
1- Go to php.ini in ubuntu with apache is /etc/php/7.4/apache2
( note: you should use your php version replace by 7.4 )
2- Remove ; from this line ;extension=openssl to make in uncommented.
3- Restart your web server sudo service apache2 restart
I have been trying to connect to a web service which I previously had set up using a soap request in PHP, like so:
$client = new SoapClient($this->config->item('WSDL'));
$response = $client->Login(array('email' => $this->input->post('email'), 'password' => $this->input->post('password')));
this worked when the WSDL url ended in asmx?WSDL but now its a different url ending in .xml and it doesn't work...I keep getting the following error: "PHP Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault exception: [HTTP] Could not connect to host in..."
Can anyone help me please? It is hurting my head, thanks!
URL of WSDL can be ended with anything. Try to echo your WSDL URL and load it by browser.
$client = new SoapClient(exit($this->config->item('WSDL')));
