Adding htmlentities() can be helpful since it makes the XML visible in your browser without needing to view the source.
<?php
echo "REQUEST:\n" . htmlentities($client->__getLastRequest()) . "\n";
?>
(PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
SoapClient::__getLastRequest — Returns last SOAP request
Returns the XML sent in the last SOAP request.
Nota:
This method works only if the SoapClient object was created with the
traceoption set totrue.
Questa funzione non contiene parametri.
The last SOAP request, as an XML string.
Example #1 SoapClient::__getLastRequest() example
<?php
$client = new SoapClient("some.wsdl", array('trace' => 1));
$result = $client->SomeFunction();
echo "REQUEST:\n" . $client->__getLastRequest() . "\n";
?>
Adding htmlentities() can be helpful since it makes the XML visible in your browser without needing to view the source.
<?php
echo "REQUEST:\n" . htmlentities($client->__getLastRequest()) . "\n";
?>Note that when you create SoapClient with option "trace" set to FALSE or omit it, than "__getLastRequest()" always returns NULL.I guess many peoples calls getLastRequest and it returns nothing. "Heey where is the my last request". Now we will see our request, when you created a SoapClient instance, you should give a option parameter as below :
<?php
// below $option=array('trace',1);
// correct one is below
$option=array('trace'=>1);
$client=new SoapClient('some.wsdl',$option);
try{
$client->aMethodAtRemote();
}catch(SoapFault $fault){
// <xmp> tag displays xml output in html
echo 'Request : <br/><xmp>',
$client->__getLastRequest(),
'</xmp><br/><br/> Error Message : <br/>',
$fault->getMessage();
}
?>
"trace" parameter enables output of request. Now, you should see SOAP request.Just to make it a bit more readable
echo "REQUEST:\n" . htmlentities(str_ireplace('><', ">\n<", $client->__getLastRequest())) . "\n";
echo "Response:\n" . htmlentities(str_ireplace('><', ">\n<", $client->__getLastResponse())) . "\n";
PS: If you are using \n then you need to enclose above statements in <pre>. You can also use <br />, but it gets a bit messy.
