How can the correct method be identified when working with WSDL files in PHP for SOAP requests?

When working with WSDL files in PHP for SOAP requests, the correct method can be identified by examining the WSDL file itself. The WSDL file contains a list of available methods along with their input parameters and return types. By parsing the WSDL file, you can determine the correct method to call for your SOAP request. 

// Load the WSDL file
$wsdl = 'http://example.com/service.wsdl';
$client = new SoapClient($wsdl);

// Get list of available methods
$methods = $client->__getFunctions();

// Print list of methods
foreach ($methods as $method) {
    echo $method . "\n";
}
