However, $soap->__getLastRequest() and $soap->__getLastResponse() return the correct XML - the same as I did using SoapUI. Here is the request and response XMLs for references. 1) Request XML. <ns1:checkEligibility><caller-id>XXXXX</caller-id><cust-key>1234456</cust-key><device-serial-num/><package id="12345-54321" productId="prod12345-54321"/><package id="54321-12345" productId="prod54321-12345"/></ns1:checkEligibility> 2) Response XML <ns2:checkEligibilityResponse><package-eligibility> <package status="1" href="" checksum="" name="" id="12345-54321"/><result description="This package is not defined in CRM" reason="checkout.undefined.package" status="block"/> </package-eligibility> <package-eligibility><package status="1" href="" checksum="" name="" id="54321-12345"/><result description="This package is not defined in CRM." reason="checkout.undefined.package" status="block"/></package-eligibility></ns2:checkEligibilityResponse> Not sure why the SoapFault exception still throws even request and response are correct. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75325&edit=1
