SOAP extension can be used to write SOAP Servers and Clients. It supports 
subsets of <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/NOTE-SOAP-20000508" target="_top">SOAP 1.1</a>,
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/" target="_top">SOAP 1.2</a> and

<H2>Requirements</H2>
This extension makes use of the <A HREF="http://www.xmlsoft.org" TARGET="_top">GNOME XML library</A>. Download and install this library. You will need at least libxml-2.5.4.
<HR>
<H2>Installation</H2>
This extension is only available if PHP was configured with --enable-soap.

<h2>is_soap_fault</h2>
<p>(PHP 5)</p>
<p>checks if SOAP call was failed</p>
<h3>Description</h3>
<p>bool <b>is_soap_fault</b>(mixed obj)</p>
<p>
This function is useful when you like to check if the SOAP call was failed,
but don't like to use exceptions. To use it you must create SoapClient object
with <b>exceptions</b> option set to zero or false. In this case SOAP method 
will return a special SoapFault object which encapsulate the fault details 
(faultcode, faultstring, faultactor and faultdetails). If <b>exceptions</b> is 
not set then SOAP call will throw an exception on error.<br>
is_soap_fault() functions checks if the given parameter is a SoapFault object.<br>

<h2>SoapClient::SoapClient</h2>
<p>(PHP 5)</p>
<p>SoapClient constructor</p>
<h3>Description</h3>
<p><b>SoapClient</b>(mixed wsdl [, array options])</p>
<p>
The constructor allows creating SoapClient objects in WSDL or nonWSDL mode.
The first case requires URI of WSDL file as first parameter and optional
options array. The second case requires NULL as first parameter and options
array with <b>location</b> and <b>uri</b> options set. Where <b>location</b> is
a URL to request and <b>uri</b> is a target namespace of the SOAP service.
<b>style</b> and <b>use</b> options has effect only on nonWSDL (in WSDL mode
they comes from WSDL file). <b>soap_version</b> option allows to work as SOAP 1.1 or
SOAP 1.2 client.
Some additional optional options allow using HTTP authentication (<b>login</b>
and <b>password</b>) and HTTP connection through proxy server (<b>proxy_host</b>,
<b>proxy_port</b>, <b>proxy_login</b> and <b>proxy_password</b>).
</p>

<h2>SoapClient::__call</h2>
<p>(PHP 5)</p>
<p>calls a SOAP function</p>
<h3>Description</h3>
<p>mixed <b>__call</b>(string function_name, array arguments, [array options [, mixed input_headers [, mixed &output_headers]]])</p>
<p>
This is a low level API function to make a SOAP call. Usually in WSDL mode
you can simple call SOAP functions as SoapClient methods. It is useful for
nonWSDL mode when 'soapaction' is unknown, 'uri' is differ form default or
when ypu like to send and/or receive SOAP Headers. To check if function call
is failed check the result with is_soap_fault() function.<br>
SOAP function may return one or several values. In the first case __call will
return just the value of output parameter, in the second it will return
array with named output parameters.
