try PHP 5.3 with

$client = new SoapClient("< some url  >", 
    array(
        'trace' => 1,
        'stream_context' => stream_context_create(
            array(
                'http' => array(
                    'protocol_version' => 1.0,
                ),
            )
        ),
    )
);

I had this problem with PHP 5.6.9 and Apache 2.4.12. Thanks for your solution! – Axel Zehden Aug 12 '15 at 08:59

I just wasted a couple of hours that could have been a lot more if I hadn't found this answer. and btw, I'm on php 7 and this issue still exists. thank you – But those new buttons though.. Mar 12 '18 at 17:53
I had the same problem with UPS SOAP API and PHP 7.1.33. Explicitly giving the `protocol_version` sovled it – grafzahl-io Jun 01 '22 at 19:42

With PHP 5.4.4, it didn't work without Transfer-Encoding: chunked :

$client = new SoapClient("< some url  >", 
    array(
        'trace' => 1,
        'stream_context' => stream_context_create(
            array(
                'http' => array(
                    'protocol_version' => 1.0,
                    'header' => "Transfer-Encoding: chunked\r\n",
                ),
            )
        ),
    )
);

I was having trouble with UPS Shipping API

This was my SoapClient before

$client = new SoapClient("Your URL or Manifest", 
array(
    'soap_version'  => 'SOAP_1_1',
    'trace' => 1
)

);

This fixed the problem (I'm using PHP 7.2)

$client = new SoapClient("Your URL or Manifiest", 
array(
    'trace' => 1,
    'stream_context' => stream_context_create(
        array(
            'http' => array(
                'protocol_version' => 1.0,
            ),
        )
    ),
)

);
