Workaround for SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load...?

[Matt.com]

I've been having this issue for awhile now, and I've decided it needs
to be addressed.

I'm writing a web service client using SOAP on a linux server running
PHP 5.3.6.

This web service is called from a cron job that runs continuously.
From time to time the server that hosts the WDSL will go down, at
which point the script aborts due to the "fatal" error of not being
able to load the WSDL.

I've searched the PHP forums for workarounds (yes, I have my
SoapClient instantiation inside of a try-catch block; yes, I've tried
suppressing the error using the @ symbol), to no avail. They just say
that this isn't a bug - PHP just doesn't catch fatal errors (why it's
a fatal error in the first place is beyond me).

If anyone out there has a workaround for this problem, please reply
ASAP.

Here's a snippet of my relevant code:

try {
$ctx = stream_context_create(array('http' =>
array('protocol_version' => 1.0,)));
$client = null;

$client = new SoapClient([myURL], array(
"trace" => 1,
"exceptions" => 0,
"login" => [login],
"password" =>[password],
"authentication" => SOAP_AUTHENTICATION_BASIC,
"stream_context" => $ctx
));

return $client;
} catch (SoapFault $sf) {
return $this->error_out("CF001");
} catch (Exception $e) {
return $this->error_out('CF001');
}

Have you tried setting a timeout? Or maybe making a simple remote request for the wsdl before making the soap request?

Dear Friend,
while i was on one of my projects i have to catch the fatal errors i
was using something like this and convert it to an exception

<?php
function shutdown()
{
$a=error_get_last();
if($a==null)
echo "No errors";
else
print_r($a);

}
register_shutdown_function('shutdown');
ini_set('max_execution_time',1 );
sleep(3);
?>

and it was working.
BTW this is form php.net
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.set-error-handler.php#106061
i hope this help you.

Best Regards,
Hesham Yosry
