ext-soap throws uncatchable errors

[jack-worman]

Description

I am writing a SOAP server, but the soap extension throws uncatchable errors.

For example, "Procedure '...' not present" happens when the client asks for a function that is not supported by the server. And when $soapServer->handle(...) is called, the script throws a fatal error and outputs its own response.

I should be able to catch any error and handle it however I want. \SoapServer::handle() should never kill my script.

PHP Version

PHP 8.1.14

Yeah, known issue, and unlikely to be resolvable without lots of work (and potentially unintended breaks). Thus changing to feature request.

Would it be possible to add a .ini setting as a backwards compatibility layer?
soap.throw_catchable_exceptions with a default to 0,
or some other flag mechanism
