How can the number of data records returned from a SOAP request be accurately determined and displayed in PHP?

To accurately determine and display the number of data records returned from a SOAP request in PHP, you can parse the response XML and count the number of records. This can be done by using SimpleXMLElement to load the SOAP response and then accessing the nodes containing the data records. By counting the number of these nodes, you can accurately determine the total number of data records returned. 

// Make the SOAP request
$client = new SoapClient("http://example.com/soap.wsdl");
$response = $client->__soapCall("getData", []);

// Load the SOAP response as SimpleXMLElement
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($response);

// Count the number of data records returned
$recordCount = count($xml->xpath('//dataRecord'));

// Display the number of data records
echo "Number of data records returned: " . $recordCount;
