Thanks for the report. Is ext/openssl enabled on the corresponding host (consider "https://...."). I currently don't reproduce the error otherwise.

Thanks.

Yes, openssl is enabled.
I asked the owner of the webservice to look into his server log. He cannot find an entry of my server trying to connect. When I do a cURL request to this server it will work correctly and is also recorded in the serverlog.

On our other server with 7.0.3-5+deb.sury.org~trusty+1. The SOAP runs like it should.

Are you able to reproduce this?

Hi i am getting SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load from 

Please help me for that

I experience the same issue on PHP 5.6 on Windows.
What I want to add is that the WSDL provider offers both http and https protocols for linking with the WSDL definition. We've been using http happily all the time. It's https where things go wrong. Hope this helps.

Sorry all, after some more digging it turned out to be my mistake: the extension php_openssl was not enabled.

I cannot reproduce this with PHP-7.4.  Can anybody else reproduce
with any of the actively supported PHP versions[1] (and OpenSSL
enabled)?

[1] <https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php>

I am seeing this problem. PHP version 7.3.14. ext/openssl is enabled.

No feedback was provided. The bug is being suspended because
we assume that you are no longer experiencing the problem.
If this is not the case and you are able to provide the
information that was requested earlier, please do so and
change the status of the bug back to "Re-Opened". Thank you.

This issue persists. PHP version 7.4.12. ext/openssl is enabled.

Okay, re-opening then.

I also have the same problem with PHP 7.4.13 on Ubuntu 20.04.
ext/openssl is enabled

I can't reproduce this on 8.1+, but given the number of votes there is probably something wrong...
This could happen when some unrelated code calls libxml_disable_entity_loader(), so if anyone has this problem it might be worth checking that...
Otherwise, can anyone who can reproduce this try to compile PHP themselves and get a backtrace from the exception?

Hi,
I have the same error:
"class LibXMLError#1 (6) {
  public int $level =>
  int(1)
  public int $code =>
  int(1549)
  public int $column =>
  int(0)

}
C:\TestApiSoapWithPhp\testCaricaVersamento.php:79:
SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load from '...anaddress/awsdl?wsdl' : failed to load external entity ".../anaddress/awsdl?wsdl"

with this code: 
$context_options = array(
	'ssl' => array(
		'verify_peer'       => false,
		'verify_host'       => false,
		'verify_peer_name'  => false,
		'allow_self_signed' => true,
		'crypto_method'     => STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_TLSv1_2_CLIENT,
	),
);

$soap_client_options = array(
	'user_agent'         => $user_agent,
	'login'              => $username,
	'password'           => $password,
	'authentication'     => SOAP_AUTHENTICATION_BASIC,
	'exception'          => false,
	'keep_alive '        => false,
	'encoding'           => 'UTF-8',
	'compression'        => SOAP_COMPRESSION_ACCEPT | SOAP_COMPRESSION_GZIP | SOAP_COMPRESSION_DEFLATE,
	'cache_wsdl'         => 0,
	'trace'              => 1,
	'local_cert'         => $local_cert,
	'passphrase'         => $passphrase,
	'stream_context'     => stream_context_create( $context_options ),
	'soap_version'       => SOAP_1_1,
);
$soap_client = new SoapClient( $wsdl, $soap_client_options );
echo "\n Metodi disponibili:\n" . var_export( $soap_client->__getFunctions(), true );

And it happens only when "local_cert" is specified.
I'm using PHP 8.2.13 on windows 11.
Without specifying local_cert I have the list of the methods.
However I ha to specify the file to call the methods.

The same code is working on a debian with php 7.4.
I can't understand which are the differcences between the two configurations.
