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 >= 5.0.1, PHP 7)
SoapClient::__getLastRequest — Returns last SOAP request
Returns the XML sent in the last SOAP request.
Note:
This method works only if the SoapClient object was created with the trace option set to
TRUE.
This function has no parameters.
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";
?>

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.
Creating an xml file and link to the file is my way.
$outputxml = '/output.xml';
file_put_contents($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . $outputxml, $client->__getLastRequest());
echo '<a href="' . $outputxml . '">here</a>';
the getLastResult function doesn't require that the server answers.
as my browser handled and hided the xml code I thought the function doesn't return the last request
