This seems odd. PHP supports SSLv3 in OpenSSL fine.

What error messages do you get? Make sure error_reporting is set to -1 and display_errors is turned on.

What happens if you try file_get_contents('https://domain.com:8888/bsiws/billing?wsdl')?

Finally, please try a current version: either 5.3.17 or 5.4.7.

my server under load and i really cant update it,that webservice only accept specific ip.

file_get_contents result:
Warning: file_get_contents(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages: error:140773F2:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert unexpected message in /data/wwwroot/crm/dga/MustBeDeleted/ter.php on line 4 Warning: file_get_contents(): Failed to enable crypto in /data/wwwroot/crm/dga/MustBeDeleted/ter.php on line 4 Warning: file_get_contents(https://mydomain-server.com:8888/bsiws/billing?wsdl): failed to open stream: operation failed in /data/wwwroot/crm/dga/MustBeDeleted/ter.php on line 4

one think i forgot,that company don't register their domain and we add manually in DNS server and of course their Certification is invalid.

Does it work if you use a WSDL from a server with a valid SSL certificate?

yes,on my server i connect to 3 other https soap server without any problem with 
php.
when use openssl(from command line) to connect to that 3 server i don't specify 
ssl version and work perfectly.
this odd soap server running https over port 8888.is causing the problem?

hi all
one of my friend solved problem by c# on windows server,he import invalid https certification file into windows and ...
invalid certification cause this problem.
tnx php guys

Thanks for the feedback.
