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 the 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.

Parameters

Return Values

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

Examples

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

<?php
try {
    $client = new SoapClient("some.wsdl");
    $result = $client->SomeFunction(/* ... */);
} catch (SoapFault $fault) {
    trigger_error("SOAP Fault: (faultcode: {$fault->faultcode}, faultstring: {$fault->faultstring})", E_ERROR);
}
?>
