Adding htmlentities() can be helpful since it makes the XML visible in your browser without needing to view the source.
<?php
echo "REQUEST:\n" . htmlentities($client->__getLastRequest()) . "\n";
?>
(PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
SoapClient::__getLastRequest — 直近の SOAP リクエストを返す
この関数にはパラメータはありません。
直近の SOAP リクエストを XML 文字列で返します。
例1 SoapClient::__getLastRequest() の例
<?php
$client = new SoapClient("some.wsdl", array('trace' => 1));
$result = $client->SomeFunction();
echo "REQUEST:\n" . $client->__getLastRequest() . "\n";
?>

Note that when you create SoapClient with option "trace" set to FALSE or omit it, than "__getLastRequest()" always returns NULL.
I guess many peoples calls getLastRequest and it returns nothing. "Heey where is the my last request". Now we will see our request, when you created a SoapClient instance, you should give a option parameter as below :
<?php
// below $option=array('trace',1);
// correct one is below
$option=array('trace'=>1);
$client=new SoapClient('some.wsdl',$option);
try{
$client->aMethodAtRemote();
}catch(SoapFault $fault){
// <xmp> tag displays xml output in html
echo 'Request : <br/><xmp>',
$client->__getLastRequest(),
'</xmp><br/><br/> Error Message : <br/>',
$fault->getMessage();
}
?>
"trace" parameter enables output of request. Now, you should see SOAP request.
Creating an xml file and link to the file is my way.
$outputxml = '/output.xml';
file_put_contents($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . $outputxml, $client->__getLastRequest());
echo '<a href="' . $outputxml . '">here</a>';
Just to make it a bit more readable
echo "REQUEST:\n" . htmlentities(str_ireplace('><', ">\n<", $client->__getLastRequest())) . "\n";
echo "Response:\n" . htmlentities(str_ireplace('><', ">\n<", $client->__getLastResponse())) . "\n";
PS: If you are using \n then you need to enclose above statements in <pre>. You can also use <br />, but it gets a bit messy.
the getLastResult function doesn't require that the server answers.
as my browser handled and hided the xml code I thought the function doesn't return the last request
