Thanks for your answer. Your code is complaining about loading the extension, not the WSDL file. I've tried this code: $client = new SoapClient( "http://127.0.0.1/nonexiting.wsdl", array( 'exceptions' => true, 'trace' => true, 'cache_wsdl' => WSDL_CACHE_NONE ) ); and it gives the error: PHP Fatal error: SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load from ' http://127.0.0.1/nonexiting.wsdl' : failed to load external entity " http://127.0.0.1/nonexiting.wsdl" As far as i know the 'exceptions' => true is set by default but it only works for SoapFault exceptions. 2009/7/31 Richard Quadling <rquadling@googlemail.com> > 2009/7/31 Richard Quadling <rquadling@googlemail.com>: > > 2009/7/31 Paulo Azevedo <halufa@gmail.com>: > >> My problem is that SoapClient triggers a E_ERROR ( Fatal Error ) instead > of > >> throwing an Exception. > >> Since E_ERROR cannot be catchable I don't find a way to gracefully > handly > >> this problem. > >> > >> PHP Fatal error: SOAP-ERROR: Encoding: object hasn't 'profileData' > property > >> > >> > >> Is there any way to gracefully catch this error? > >> > >> -- > >> -Paulo > >> http://twitter.com/halufa > >> > > > > You can tell the SoapClient to generate exceptions rather than errors. > > > > [1] "The exceptions option is a boolean value defining whether soap > > errors throw exceptions of type SoapFault." > > > > Regards, > > > > Richard. > > > > [1] http://docs.php.net/manual/en/soapclient.soapclient.php > > -- > > ----- > > Richard Quadling > > Zend Certified Engineer : > http://zend.com/zce.php?c=ZEND002498&r=213474731 > > "Standing on the shoulders of some very clever giants!" > > ZOPA : http://uk.zopa.com/member/RQuadling > > > > <?php > try > { > $client=new SoapClient(' > http://api.rkd.reuters.com/schemas/wsdl/Charts_1_HttpAndRKDToken.wsdl', > array('exceptions' => True)); > } > catch(Exception $exception) > { > echo $exception; > } > echo 'Finished'; > > > outputs ... > > SoapFault exception: [WSDL] SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Unknown required > WSDL extension 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/' in > Z:\soapbad.php:4 > Stack trace: > #0 Z:\soapbad.php(4): SoapClient->SoapClient('http://api.rkd....', Array) > #1 {main}Finished > > > > -- > ----- > Richard Quadling > Zend Certified Engineer : http://zend.com/zce.php?c=ZEND002498&r=213474731 > "Standing on the shoulders of some very clever giants!" > ZOPA : http://uk.zopa.com/member/RQuadling > -- -Paulo http://twitter.com/halufa
