How can network restrictions or server configurations impact the performance of SoapClient requests in PHP?

Network restrictions or server configurations can impact the performance of SoapClient requests in PHP by causing timeouts, delays, or connection errors. To solve this issue, you can adjust the timeout settings for the SoapClient requests to allow for longer connection times.

$client = new SoapClient("http://example.com/soap.wsdl", array('connection_timeout' => 60));
