PHP SOAP error catching

Question

I\'m getting desperate, all I want is simple error handling when the PHP SOAP Web Service is down to echo an error message login service down. Please help me!

Answer 1

Fatal error: SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL Means the WSDL is wrong and maybe missing? so it's not related to soap. And you cannot handle FATAL ERROR with a try catch. See this link : http://ru2.php.net/set_error_handler#35622

What do you get when you try to access http://192.168.0.142:8080/services/Logon?wsdl in your browser?

You can check if the WSDL is present like this

$handle = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($handle,  CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);

$response = curl_exec($handle);
$httpCode = curl_getinfo($handle, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
if($httpCode == 404) {
    /* You don't have a WSDL Service is down. exit the function */
}

curl_close($handle);

/* Do your stuff with SOAP here. */
