SoapClient->__soapCall() -- Calls a SOAP function

## Description

class SoapClient {
mixed __soapCall ( string function_name [, array arguments [, array options [, mixed input_headers [, array &output_headers]]]] )
}

This is a low level API function that is used to make a SOAP call. Usually, in WSDL mode, you can simply call SOAP functions as SoapClient methods. This method useful in non-WSDL mode when soapaction is unknown, uri differs from the default or when sending and/or receiving SOAP Headers.

On error, a call to a SOAP function can cause PHP to throw exceptions or return a SoapFault object if exceptions are disabled. To check if the function call failed to catch the SoapFault exceptions, check the result with is_soap_fault().

## Return Values

SOAP functions may return one, or multiple values. If only one value is returned by the SOAP function, the return value of __soapCall will be a simple value (e.g. an integer, a string, etc). If multiple values are returned, __soapCall will return an associative array of named output parameters.

## Examples

Example 1. SoapClient->__soapCall() Examples
`<?php $client = new SoapClient("some.wsdl"); $client->SomeFunction($a, $b, $c); $client->__soapCall("SomeFunction", array($a, $b, $c)); $client->__soapCall("SomeFunction", array($a, $b, $c), NULL, new SoapHeader(), $output_headers); $client = new SoapClient(null, array('location' => "http://localhost/soap.php", 'uri' => "http://test-uri/")); $client->SomeFunction($a, $b, $c); $client->__soapCall("SomeFunction", array($a, $b, $c)); $client->__soapCall("SomeFunction", array($a, $b, $c), array('soapaction' => 'some_action', 'uri' => 'some_uri')); ?>`
