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

SoapFault doesn't extends Exception, catch the especific type works:

try {
  $client = new SoapClient("http://192.168.0.142:8080/services/Logon?wsdl",array(
    'exceptions' => true,
  ));
}
catch ( SoapFault $e )
{
    echo 'sorry... our service is down';
}
