How do I see the actual XML generated by PHP SOAP Client Class?

Question

Consider this example SOAP Client script:

$SOAP = new SoapClient($WDSL); // Create a SOAP Client from a WSDL

// Build an array of data to send in the reques

If you'd like to view the request without actually making a connection, you can override SoapClient's __doRequest method to return the XML:

class DummySoapClient extends SoapClient {
    function __construct($wsdl, $options) {
        parent::__construct($wsdl, $options);
    }
    function __doRequest($request, $location, $action, $version, $one_way = 0) {
        return $request;
    }
}
$SOAP = new DummySoapClient('http://example.com/?wsdl', array('trace' => true));
echo $SOAP->GetRequestDetail($params);
