What are the best practices for handling SOAP requests and responses in PHP?

Handling SOAP requests and responses in PHP involves using the built-in SOAP extension to create a SOAP client or server. When making a SOAP request, you need to define the SOAP client, set the endpoint URL, and call the desired SOAP method. For handling SOAP responses, you can access the response data using the appropriate methods provided by the SOAP client.

// Create a new SOAP client
$client = new SoapClient("http://example.com/soap.wsdl");

// Set the endpoint URL
$client->__setLocation("http://example.com/soap");

// Make a SOAP request
$response = $client->methodName($params);

// Access the response data
$result = $response->methodNameResult;
