I get false in the save method of the DOMDocument class. try { $test = @new SoapClient($url, $options); } catch (SoapFault $e) { } //***** $dom = new DOMDocument('1.0', "UTF-8"); //... $result = $dom->save($fileName); $result === false //**** it works: if ($result === false) { file_put_contents($fileName, $dom->saveXML()); } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-05-02 07:04:41] michal at lipek dot net Description: ------------ Creating instance of \SoapClient with incorrect path to WSDL file causing incorrect work of SimpleXMLElement::asXML method, in completely different object.
