<p>
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
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl" target="_top">WSDL 1.1</a> specifications.
</p>
<HR>
<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.
<HR>
<H2>Runtime Configuration</H2>
<p>The behaviour of these functions is affected by settings in php.ini.</p>

<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.

<h2>SoapParam::SoapParam</h2>

<h3>Description</h3>
<p><b>SoapParam</b>(mixed data, string name)</p>
<p>
SoapParam is a special low-level class for naming parameters and return values
in nonWSDL mode. It is just a data holder and it has not any special method
except constructor. The constructor takes <b>data</b> to pass or return and
<b>name</b>. It is possible to pass parameter directly as PHP value, but in
this case it will be named as <b><i>paramN</i></b> and SOAP Service may not
understand it.

<h3>Description</h3>
<p><b>SoapVar</b>(mixed data, int encoding [, string type [, string type_ns [, string name [, string name_ns]]]])</p>
<p>
SoapVar is a special low-level class for encoding parameters and return values
in nonWSDL mode. It is just a data holder and it has not any special method
except constructor. It is useful when you like to set type property in SOAP
request or response. The constructor takes <b>data</b> to pass or return,
<b>encoding</b> ID to encode it (see <b><i>XSD_...</i></b> constants) and as
option type name and namespace and value name and namespace.

<p>
SoapHeader is a special low-level class for passing or returning SOAP headers.
It is just a data holder and it has not any special method except constructor.
It can be used in <a href="#ref.soap.soapclient.__call">SoapClient::__call</a>
method to pass SOAP header or in SOAP header handler to return header in SOAP
response. <b>name_ns</b> and <b>name</b> are namespace and name of the SOAP
header element. <b>data</b> is a SOAP header's content. It can be a PHP value
