How does switching from HTTP to HTTPS affect PHP SOAP requests?

Switching from HTTP to HTTPS affects PHP SOAP requests because the server endpoint URL needs to be updated to use the secure protocol. This can be done by changing the URL in the SOAP client instantiation to begin with "https://" instead of "http://". Additionally, if the server has SSL/TLS certificate verification enabled, you may need to configure the SOAP client to verify the certificate. 

// Update the server endpoint URL to use HTTPS
$wsdl = 'https://example.com/service.wsdl';

// Configure SSL options if certificate verification is required
$options = array(
    'stream_context' => stream_context_create(array(
        'ssl' => array(
            'verify_peer' => true,
            'verify_peer_name' => true,
            'allow_self_signed' => false
        )
    ))
);

// Instantiate the SOAP client with updated URL and SSL options
$client = new SoapClient($wsdl, $options);
