# SOAP::Header - phpMan

## NAME
    [SOAP::Header] - similar to [SOAP::Data] elements, a [SOAP::Header] object
    simply is encoded in the SOAP Header block

## DESCRIPTION
    Objects instantiated from the [SOAP::Header] class are functionally the
    same as [SOAP::Data] objects, and as such share all the methods from that
    class. The distinction may be cosmetic, but it is present so that
    applications may more easily distinguish header blocks from more generic
    data elements.

## SEE ALSO
    [SOAP::Data]

## ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
    Special thanks to O'Reilly publishing which has graciously allowed
    [SOAP::Lite] to republish and redistribute large excerpts from
