Bug #55567 [Com]: SoapFault is missing methods to get the Fault Code

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55567&edit=1 ID: 55567 Comment by: hairmare at purplehaze dot ch Reported by: ch@php.net Summary: SoapFault is missing methods to get the Fault Code Status: Open Type: Bug Package: SOAP related PHP Version: 5.4.0alpha3 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I just ran into this in 5.3.8. Personally i would expect SOAPFault::getCode() to return the fault exactly as it was received from SOAP (ie. as a string). I wrote a phpt case showing what behaviour I would expect. I didn't find a way to add it to this ticket, so here goes: --TEST-- Test for strings in Exception::getCode() --FILE-- <?php $e = new SOAPFault("Client", "Sample Error Message"); var_dump($e->getCode()); ?> --EXPECT-- string(6) "Client" Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-09-01 17:15:35] ch@php.net Description: ------------ The SoapFault object does not have a getFaultCode() method nor does it set the exception code to the received SOAP fault code. The code is available through the undocumented public property "faultcode" though. I would suggest setting the Exception code to the SOAP fault code. Backwards compatibility shouldn't be a big problem because currently, the code can only be 0 as the constructor does not even makes it possible to change it. If you disagree, I'd like to see a getFaultCode() method at least. Having access to the SOAP fault code is essential as SOAP does not transfer the Exception class name and thus there is no other way to cleanly distinguish between different kinds of exceptions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55567&edit=1
