is_soap_fault

Description

This function is useful when you like to check if the SOAP call failed, but don't like to use exceptions. To use it you must create a SoapClient object with exceptions option set to zero or FALSE. In this case, the SOAP method will return a special SoapFault object which encapsulates the fault details (faultcode, faultstring, faultactor and faultdetails).

If exceptions is not set then SOAP call will throw an exception on error. is_soap_fault() checks if the given parameter is a SoapFault object.

Example 1. is_soap_fault() example <?php $client = SoapClient("some.wsdl", array('exceptions' => 0)); $result = $client->SomeFunction(...); if (is_soap_fault($result)) {     trigger_error("SOAP Fault: (faultcode: {$result->faultcode}, faultstring: {$result->faulstring})", E_ERROR); } ?>

Example 2. SOAP's standard method for error reporting is exceptions <?php try {     $client = SoapClient("some.wsdl");     $result = $client->SomeFunction(...); } catch (SoapFault $fault) {     trigger_error("SOAP Fault: (faultcode: {$fault->faultcode}, faultstring: {$fault->faulstring})", E_ERROR); } ?>
