Thank you for your bug report.

Please try 'http' as wrapper name instead of 'https'.

$headers = array('X-USERID: user_1253314668.com\r\n', 
                'Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n',
                'X-PASSWORD: 1253314679\r\n',
                'X-SIGNATURE: AtQaNHC.hbpghF5uGCRO99PVYV7ki3.SAb3vQzBlBAxEyi0b\r\n',
                'X-VERSION: 1.2.0\r\n',
	        'X-PROTOCOL: SOAP11\r\n',
                'X-SOURCE: PHP_SOAP_SAMPLE_V1\r\n');	

$context = stream_context_create(array('http' => array('header' => $headers)));

$soapClient = new SoapClient(null,array('location' => "https://svcs.sandbox.com/Method1/", 
                                        'uri' => "http://x.x.com/types/test", 
                                        'soap_version' => SOAP_1_1,'trace' => 1, 'stream_context' => $context)); 



//Constructing the Payload
$param = "the payload"
$result = $soapClient->Method1($params);


I have changed the wrapper from https to http. Also made the header an array. Still the same error. I do not see the http header with other http headers when print the $soapClient->_getLastRequestHeaders(). Please advice how to resolve the issue.

Is this a PHP bug? If not,can you please post some sample !working! code on creating a SOAP Client with the stream_context option and http header(in this case https). Those headers can be seen as the part of the http request headers. I have pretty much tried different suggestions that I read on diffrent threads on www and php.net to make a successful soap call.

I see a conversation at http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/php-dev/3710449 about Transfer-Encoding: chunked and its affect on stream_context parameters. Is this the problem?

I have solved my issue... Yahoooooooooo...
I switched to php5.3. And I now the http headers are passing through.

Using php5.3.6 i couldn't pass extra HTTP headers to the SOAP request.
stream_context_create appears to get ignored

No Authorization header in HTTP request

ini_set('user_agent', 'PHP-SOAP/' . PHP_VERSION . "\r\n" . $str_auth_header);

[COMMENT]
No idea why appending the user agent string with the headers would work, but it 
seemingly does. Bizarre.

I have the same problem with php 5.2.6 To 5.3.8.

class CMyClass extends SoapClient

        parent::__construct($sWsdlUri, $aOptions);
    }

I suspect that my problem is the same as the submitter, so I'm adding this as a comment instead of as a new issue. Again, this has to do with SoapClient, stream_context_create, and custom http headers.

Simple TESTCASE:
#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
$wsdl = 'http://www.w3schools.com/webservices/tempconvert.asmx?WSDL';
$apikey = 'this-must-still-be-here';
$c = stream_context_create(array(
        'http' => array(
                'header' => "apikey: this-must-still-be-here",
        )
));
var_dump(stream_context_get_options($c));
$soap = new SoapClient($wsdl, array('stream_context' => $c));
var_dump(stream_context_get_options($soap->_stream_context));
unlink('/tmp/wsdl-'.get_current_user().'-d4e1ad3ff31424862843f4814eade4a8');
?>

As you can see from running the code, if the SoapClient needs to download a new WSDL (function get_sdl() called on line 2679 of ext/soap/soap.c - PHP source code is version 5.3.8, function defined at line 3154 of ext/soap/php_sdl.c), AND also the 'protocol_version' option isn't explicitly set in the stream_context (line 3267, file ext/soap/php_sdl.c), it sets the 'protocol_version' option (3271), and sets up a new header - "Connection: close" (3273). The following if statement (3276) sets the http "header" option to the value of that string (3286) - effectively overwriting any custom headers that were supplied.

The following if statement (3291) might be making an effort to prevent this (3294,3307), but is ineffective (operating on a pointer to the original I suspect; any copy should be made at the point of initialization, and this might not be copying the context structure itself at all).

So - userland mitigation:
Set the http 'protocol_version' explicitly to 1.1 in your code, and append the "\r\nConnection: close" header to your custom headers.
example:
$context = stream_context_create(array(
    'http'=>array(
        'protocol_version' => 1.1,
        'header' => "token: 85E91AAC-7A4A-11E0-B46B-78E7D1E19752\r\n" .
                    "Connection: close"
    )
));

Thoughts about fixing it:
It appears to be safe to pass the Connection: close header implicitly - so the simple solution of appending instead of replacing the custom headers could be good enough, without having to copy, backup, and restore the original context itself. Should that be the easier solution it should be preferred. If the simple solution is used, it would also be nice to have it in the docs.

In the TESTCASE, please replace the last line with

unlink(ini_get('soap.wsdl_cache_dir').DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'wsdl-'.get_current_user().'-'.md5($wsdl));

if you need something a little bit more portable, or to change the WSDL location.

So, here's an SVN diff against trunk, seems to be working for the test case I posted. This patch should apply cleanly against anything dating back to the current release, PHP 5.3.8. This patch follows the simple mitigation strategy proposed above. There was an error in the trunk for one of the soap test cases, but it was there even after reverting the patch.
