Guys, I've been pulling my hair out with this one. I have no problems with connecting to an external wdsl file if i run php php script via command line. php -f results.php kw=test $searchClient = new SoapClient(constant("WEBSERVICE_URL")); But if i run it within a script called from IIS 6.0 web server running on local host I get the following errors. I've looked at permissions on MSXML*.dll files, I've looked into web services. Everything checks out, the remote location has the file. I can't test it out using the FQDN on my local machine as PHP has a DNS problem as well.
