You may use undocumented and invisible property $e->faultcode to access string version of $code. Because standard $e->getCode() does not work:

<?php
$e
= new SoapFault("test", "msg");
var_dump($e->getCode()); // prints "0"
var_dump($e->faultcode); // prints "test"
?>

Also you may use namespaced fault codes:

<?php
$e
= new SoapFault(array("namespace", "test"), "msg");
?>

- see ext/soap/soap.php, PHP_METHOD(SoapFault, SoapFault). To access the namespace, use $e->faultcodens

A bit more digging in ext/soap/soap.c and the set_soap_fault function reveals the other undocumented properties from the constructor:

<?php
try {
throw new
SoapFault('code', 'string', 'actor', 'detail', 'name', 'header');
} catch (
Exception $ex) {
var_dump($ex->faultcode, $ex->faultstring, $ex->faultactor, $ex->detail, $ex->_name, $ex->headerfault);
}
?>

Hi all,

I've decided to post this since it may be helpful, I've spend a couple of days trying to do this.

In order to use wsdl's specified faults with complex types, i.e:

WSDL definitions:

(xsd:schema namespace, ns1 = target namespace)

<xsd:element name="doubleFault">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="detail1" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="detail2" type="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>

WSDL messages:

<message name="fault_specified">
<part name="relevant_name" element="ns1:doubleFault"/>
</message>

WSDL port type:

<portType name="test">
<operation name="operationTest">
<input message="ns1:not_relevant_request"/>
<output message="ns1:not_relevant_response"/>
<fault name="FaultSpecified" message="ns1:fault_specified"/>
....
</portType>

You have to specify the response in the detail parameter as an array corresponding the tag names.

PHP Code:

<?php

function operationTest($request_param ...) {

// ...
$array_details = array("detail1" => "Explanation 1", "detail2" => "Explanation 2");

return new
SoapFault("Server", "example fault string", null, $array_details, "FaultSpecified");

}

$server = new SOAPServer("handmade.wsdl");
$server->addFunction("operationTest");
$server->handle();

?>

that should respond something like this:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="http://mynamespace">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<SOAP-ENV:Fault>
<faultcode>SOAP-ENV:Server</faultcode>
<faultstring>example fault string</faultstring>
<detail>
<ns1:doubleFault>
<detail1>Explanation 1</detail1>
<detail2>Explanation 2</detail2>
</ns1:doubleFault>
</detail>
</SOAP-ENV:Fault>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

I Hope it helps,
Federico.
