What are the differences in behavior between PHP and Java clients when connecting to a SOAP server over SSL?

When connecting to a SOAP server over SSL, PHP clients may require additional configuration to properly handle the SSL connection compared to Java clients. PHP clients may need to specify the SSL version, verify the SSL certificate, and set the SSL context options. Java clients, on the other hand, typically handle SSL connections more seamlessly without requiring explicit configuration. 

// PHP code snippet to connect to a SOAP server over SSL with proper configuration
$options = array(
    'trace' => 1,
    'exceptions' => true,
    'stream_context' => stream_context_create(array(
        'ssl' => array(
            'verify_peer' => true,
            'verify_peer_name' => true,
            'allow_self_signed' => false,
            'crypto_method' => STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_TLS_CLIENT
        )
    ))
);

$client = new SoapClient('https://example.com/service.wsdl', $options);
