PHP Bug Type:     SOAP related
Bug description:  If you get a communication problem when loading the WSDL, it 
fatal's

Description:
------------
When using the SOAP Client, it normally throws a catchable SoapFault
exception. This helps to elegantly fail if there is a problem with a Web
Service.

However, if the problem occurs when loading the WSDL, it throws a PHP
Fatal Error, which cannot be caught.

This means that if you want to use a web service in a web application, you
cannot handle the error (e.g. there is network congestion, or the server
hosting the web service goes down).

Is this intentional, I am not sure.

If it is intentional (and I hope not given the fact that you are
requesting information from a completely different server, not under your
control), any chance this can be changed to throw either a SoapFault
Exception, or just something that can be caught?

Reproduce code:
---------------
try {
  $sc = new SoapClient("some.wsdl", array());
} catch (Exception $e) {
  echo 'Error Caught';
}

Expected result:
----------------
Error Caught

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load from '{URL Removed}'
