note 82697 added to function.soap-soapclient-construct

I have the weird impression that exceptions are not thrown at all when I instantiate a client against a non existing URL like that : <?php $client = new SoapClient($nonExistingUrl, array('exceptions' => true)); ?> Instead, I get an unhandable fatal error : => Fatal error: SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load from 'http://non/existing/url' Isn't that supposed to throw an exception ? ---- Server IP: 217.174.223.124 Probable Submitter: 82.229.17.158 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.soap-soapclient-construct.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/82697 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82697/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82697/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82697/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82697/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82697/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82697/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82697 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/82697 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
