SoapFault is an excepion. And an exception is thrown, not instanciated. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-11-09 19:06:09] dean at deansas dot org Description: ------------ When disabling exceptions in the constructor to SoapClient, I did not expect that for some errors it would trigger warnings and fatal errors. I did expect that it would return SoapFault objects instead, as documented on http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/function.is-soap-fault.php. In the event that this is expected behaviour then the documentation should make this clear. Test script: --------------- // URL requiring http auth and passing incorrect username & password $foo = new SoapClient("http://example.com/foo.wsdl", array( 'login' => 'bar', 'password' => 'baz', 'exceptions' => false)); print $foo; Expected result: ---------------- That $foo is a SoapFault object, no warnings/errors are thrown and something like the below is output: [WSDL] SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load from 'http://example.com/foo.wsdl' : failed to load external entity "http://example.com/foo.wsdl" in test.php:4 Stack trace: #0 test.php(4): SoapClient->SoapClient('http://example....', Array) #1 {main} Actual result: -------------- Warning: SoapClient::SoapClient(http://example.com/foo.wsdl): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required in test.php on line 4 Warning: SoapClient::SoapClient(): I/O warning : failed to load external entity "http://example.com/foo.wsdl" in test.php on line 4 Fatal error: SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load from 'http://example.com/foo.wsdl' : failed to load external entity "http://example.com/foo.wsdl" in test.php on line 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63474&edit=1
