Note that the SoapClient.__doRequest() method circumvents the throwing of SoapFault exceptions.



Specifically, if you call the __doRequest() method and it fails, it would normally throw a SoapFault exception.  However, the __doRequest() method doesn't actually throw the exception. Instead, the exception is saved in a class attribute called SoapFault.__soap_fault, and is actually thrown AFTER the __doRequest method completes (but the call stack will show that the exception was created inside the __doRequest method.



I successfully used the following code to query the locally cached exception object that was not thrown:



<?php

$exception = null;

try {

    $result = parent::__doRequest($request, $location, $action, $version, $one_way);

}

catch (SoapFault $sf) {

    //this code was not reached    

    $exception = $sf;

}

catch (Exception $e) {

    //nor was this code reached either

    $exception = $e;

}

if((isset($this->__soap_fault)) && ($this->__soap_fault != null)) {

    //this is where the exception from __doRequest is stored

    $exception = $this->__soap_fault;

}



//decide what to do about the exception here

// [enter code here]

//or throw the exception

if($exception != null) {

    throw $exception;

}

//note: you may want to unset the __soap_fault value if you don't want it thrown again up the call stack
