    You almost for sure will need to wrap a try/catch block around your SOAP call in order to use these to debug something that's not working.

    Otherwise, PHP throws a fatal error before you can execute this function.

    For example:
    <?php
        $soapClient     = new SoapClient($url);
        echo     htmlentities($soapClient->__getFunctions());
            //Assume that has output 'someFunction' (among others)
            try {
                $results = $soapClient->someFunction(...);
        }
        catch (    SoapFault $soapFault) {
                var_dump($soapFault);
            echo     "Request :<br>", htmlentities($soapClient->__getLastRequest()), "<br>";
            echo     "Response :<br>", htmlentities($soapClient->__getLastResponse()), "<br>";
        }
    ?>

    Without try/catch, your just get the Fatal Error and PHP commits suicide before you can call __getLastRequest/__getLastResponse

    D'oh!
    That example needs:
    $soapClient = new SoapClient($url, array('trace'=>1));
    to turn ON tracing in the first place.

    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.

    You don't need to surround SoapClient in a try-catch block.  Just set the "exceptions" option to false, and the SoapFault instance will be returned instead of thrown.
