Bug #44811 [Patch] Improve error message when creating new SoapClient with invalid data
Submitted: 2008-04-23 19:23 UTC Modified: 2008-05-07 15:48 UTC

Description:
------------
In case a new SoapClient is created and the loaded XML has problems, the exact libxml2 error message is hidden.

It should be noted that with the provided patch, an extra \n gets introduces which is from the libxml error context "message" member. However I favor more exact error messages over formatting.

 in Command line code:1

Actually one thing you could do is simply this:


try { 
    new SoapClient("http://slashdot.org");
} catch(Exception $e) { 
    var_dump(libxml_get_last_error());
}


If you store this into a variable, you'll be able to retrieve the ->message property which has the detailed message.

We are still evaluating the need of adding the detailed message natively.
