PHP SoapClient timeout error handler - php

Question

I am calling some web services, using SoapClient. I am looking for a mechanism which will help me to display some errors to user, whenever web services goes offline or down.
As I have to wait for some time(15 sec) before displaying any errors to user. I am adding connection_timeout in SoapClient like this, for timeout.
$this->client = new SoapClient($clienturl,array('trace' => 1,
'exceptions'=> 1,
'connection_timeout'=> 15)); //$clienturl is webservice url
Also in top section of page, I have added this line,
ini_set("default_socket_timeout", 15); // 15 seconds
After specific timeout interval I am getting different SOAP-ERROR like this,
SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load from $clienturl
So I am looking for an error handler which will handle these SOAP-ERROR so as to display those in human-readable format to user like "Server is down, Try again after some time." Or Is there any way to handle timeout errors?

Answer 1

You can put it in a try/catch
try {
$time_start = microtime(true);
$this->client = new SoapClient($clienturl,array('trace' => 1,
'exceptions'=> 1,
'connection_timeout'=> 15
));
} catch (Exception $e) {
$time_request = (microtime(true)-$time_start);
if(ini_get('default_socket_timeout') < $time_request) {
//Timeout error!
} else {
//other error
//$error = $e->getMessage();
}
}

This is what I am using for soapClien connection in php
set_error_handler('error_handler');
function connectSoapClient($soap_client){
while(true){
if($soap_client['soap_url'] == ''){
trigger_error("Soap url not found",E_USER_ERROR);
sleep(60);
continue;
}
try{
$client = #new SoapClient($soap_client['soap_url'],array("trace" => 1,"exceptions" => true));
}
catch(Exception $e){
trigger_error("Error occured while connection soap client<br />".$e->getMessage(),E_USER_ERROR);
sleep(60);
continue;
}
if($client){
break;
}
}
return $client;
}
function error_handler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline){
if($errno == E_USER_ERROR){
$error_time = date("d-m-Y H:i:s");
$errstr .= "\n
############################### Error #########################################\n
Error No: $errno
Error File: $errfile
Line No: $errline
Error Time : $error_time \n
##############################################################################
";
mail($notify_to,$subject,$errstr);
}
}
