SOAP PHP fault parsing WSDL: failed to load external entity?

Question

I\'m trying to run a web service using PHP & SOAP, but all I\'m getting so far is this:

(SoapFault)[2] message which states: \'SOAP-ERROR: Parsing

Answer 1

Just had a similar problem trying to use SoapClient. Everything was working fine but in production, sometimes on page refresh, I would get the "SoapFault exception: [WSDL] SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load from .." error.

I was using the params:

new \SoapClient($WSDL, array('cache_wsdl' => WSDL_CACHE_NONE, 'trace' => true, "exception" => 0)); 

Removing all the params worked for me:

new \SoapClient($WSDL);
