Subject: SoapClient: Catchable Fatal Error for invalid WSDL
From: scope@planetavent.de (Nicolai Scheer)

Hi!

Just read the comments for Bug #47584: WSDL error in soapClient causes
Fatal Error.

If a SoapClient is created and the WSDL can not be found, an Exception
is thrown:

<?php

try
{
    $x = new SoapClient( "non-existent.wsdl", array( "exceptions" => 1 ) );
}
catch ( Exception $e )
{
    echo $e->faultstring;
}

echo "ok\n";

$error = error_get_last();
print_r( $error );
?>

Although I'm using exceptions here, an E_ERROR gets "registered", thus
the output is:

SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load from 'non-existent.wsdl' :
failed to load external entity "non-existent.wsdl"
ok
Array
(
    [type] => 1
    [message] => SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load from
'non-existent.wsdl' : failed to load external entity
"non-existent.wsdl"

    [file] => Y:\client2.phb
    [line] => 5
)


Can anybody comment on this behaviour? Should an error be registered
when exceptions are used? Should this be an E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR
instead?
The specific problem is that we use a shutdown function that utilizes
error_get_last() to see if a fatal error orccured and then tries to
redirect to a specific error page.
Now we call a php script via ajax that tries to connect to a soap
service. If the service is unreachable we correctly catch the
exception, but the registered E_ERROR gets processed on shutdown, thus
redirecting...

Thanks and greetings

Nico
