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

I ended up handling it this way:

       libxml_use_internal_errors(true);
        $sxe = simplexml_load_string(file_get_contents($url));
        if (!$sxe) {
            return [
                'error' => true,
                'info' => 'WSDL does not return valid xml',
            ];
        }
        libxml_use_internal_errors(false);

Do your soap call after this check.
