Today, while integrating SecPay (aka PayPoint) payment gateway with an ecommerce site I’m working on, I came across a very annoying problem with PHP’s SOAPClient implementation.
When talking to a SOAP interface the first thing you want to do is obviously connect to the endpoint:
$this->soap = new SoapClient('https://www.secpay.com/java-bin/services/SECCardService?wsdl');
This looks correct and innocent, however it produces this nasty error:
SoapClient::SoapClient() [function.SoapClient-SoapClient]: SSL: fatal protocol error
Changing SOAPClient parameters doesn’t help and disabling wsdl cache in php.ini doesn’t do much either.
After googling a bit I found a couple of bug reports. It turns out PHP has issues talking to endpoints over SSL. *Sigh*.
Here’s a workaround I came up with to force PHP to connect:
$orig_error_reporting = error_reporting();
error_reporting(0);
$this->soap = new SoapClient('https://www.secpay.com/java-bin/services/SECCardService?wsdl');
error_reporting($orig_error_reporting);
As you can see the idea is simple. Just turn off error reporting before instantiating soapclient and restore it afterwards.
I hope this helps some of you frustrated by this bug.
Sorry, don’t work for me.
My solution was to add the follwowing packages on my debian box :
ca-certificates libcurl3 libidn11 php5-curl

Darn, for a moment I thought this was working, but it turned out it just stopped telling me about the bug because of no error reporting.
I fixed it by recompiling php with openssl support.
You just saved my day thank you so much!
My install of PHP has openSSL enabled. I’m getting the same issue…I know the service endpoint works over port 80. Trying it over SSL (self-signed cert) but no go. I suspect this has something to do with it being a self-signed cert….
I’m new to php, Allen, can u guide me how to recompiling php with openssl support? Thanks.
Allen’s way is correct -
Adding php_openssl should fix this issue. Not sure, but I guess if it does not work then install openssl package from https://www.openssl.org/
In xampp package for windows, for some older XAMPP versions the php.ini file is in two places
1. php folder
2. apache/bin
commandline uses php.ini in php folder
whereas while processing http request apache/bin/php.ini is used.
On *nix, php.ini is at one place so need to change only at one place.
