SoapFault getMessage

Hi, I'm currently playing with the PHP5 SOAP extension and now have a little problem with the exception handling. I tried to query a NuSOAP service, which can return an error like this (body only): <SOAP-ENV:Body><SOAP-ENV:Fault> <faultcode>Client</faultcode> <faultactor>Authentication error</faultactor> <faultstring>You are not recognized by the authentication process</faultstring> <detail><soapVal xsi:type="xsd:string"></soapVal></detail></SOAP-ENV:Fault></SOAP-ENV:Body> This, of course, causes a SoapFault exception to be thrown, but it seems like I can't access the error message: $client = new SoapClient("http://www.myweb-services.com/server/UserApps.wsdl"); $fname = "Ali"; $lname = "Baba"; $email = "test@example.com"; $passwd = '123456789'; try { $myAuthenticationStruct = $client->AuthenticateUser($email, $passwd . "____"); var_dump($myAuthenticationStruct); } catch (SoapFault $f){ var_dump($f->getMessage()); // yields string(0) "" } If I don't catch the SoapFault, a fatal error is issued containing the message "You are not recognized by the authentication process", so the information must be somewhere inside the exception. So how to access it, except just echoing the entire exception? I tried with yesterday's snapshot if that matters. Thanks a lot and kind regards, Hannes -- http://hannes.kaywa.com
