Hi,

I'm working on a SOAP project and as part of the
checks I make are the existence and readability of the
WSDL file.

As far as I saw, SoapClient doesn't check include_path
for the WSDL file, so I thought I could use fopen to
check this and then find the real path which would be
finally passed to the SoapClient constructor. The
problem with fopen is that I don't know how to find
the real path if the file does exist in the
include_path. So I took a look at SplFileObject, whose
constructor accepts the same parameters as fopen.

Here's my issue. If I instantiate SplFileObject like:

$file = new SplFileObject($filename, 'r', true);

and $filename is found somewhere on the include_path,
wouldn't be useful if a call to
SplFileObject::getRealPath() would return the actual
real path and not false? Because at this point it doesn't.
