How can PHP developers ensure that their SOAP client and server are properly communicating with each other?

To ensure that a PHP SOAP client and server are properly communicating with each other, developers can enable SOAP debugging to view detailed information about the requests and responses being exchanged. This can help identify any issues with the communication process and allow for troubleshooting and debugging.

// Enable SOAP debugging
ini_set('soap.wsdl_cache_enabled', 0);
ini_set('soap.wsdl_cache_ttl', 0);

// Create SOAP client
$client = new SoapClient("http://example.com/soap.wsdl", array('trace' => 1));

// Call SOAP server method
$response = $client->__soapCall('methodName', array($params));

// Display SOAP request and response
echo "Request:\n" . $client->__getLastRequest() . "\n";
echo "Response:\n" . $client->__getLastResponse() . "\n";
