title: Can I use PHP's SoapClient to parse a SOAP response, without making the HTTP request?
body: <p>I'm currently dealing with an archaic payment processor that makes connecting to their service as hard as possible (including a custom client SSL cert, with a password, plus basic HTTP Auth after that). Long story short, I can't use SoapClient to make the request, but I have been able to do it with cURL.</p>
  
  <p>I now have the response in a string, can I use <code>SoapClient</code> to parse it? I'd rather not have to parse it manually as a regular XML, since I'd have to duplicate a lot of functionality, like throwing a sensible exception when finding a <code>&lt;SOAP:Fault&gt;</code>, for example.</p>
