Grrr, Debuggin SOAP and PHP

I don't know about you but something shouldn't be this hard. I'm currently trying to get my final SOAP code working and for the life of me I can't figure it out. The PHP module reports useless errors like "Whoops looks like we got not XML" or words to that effect.

Which means diddily squat to me. Do you know what that means? If you do can you let me know? All my other SOAP interactions work fine but the server side is running on a linux machines with the lastest updates for the PHP and SOAP code.

This last one is running on a hand compiled apache install running on solaris. I'm sure there are many areas of danger there.

So I'm stuck with this. I guess I should download and compile all the latest patches and see where that ends up.

The frustrating thing about all this is the SoapClient can understand my WSDL file present the list of functions available but cannot for reasons unknown call any of them!

I'm sure I will eventually find a solution but seriously, get some useful error messages guys!
