How to make a PHP SOAP call using the SoapClient class

Question

I m used to writing PHP code  but do not often use Object-Oriented coding  I now need to interact with SOAP  as a client  and am not able to get the syntax right  I ve got a WSDL file which allows me to properly set up a new connection using the SoapClient class  However  I m unable to actually make the right call and get data returned  I need to send the following  simplified  data    Contact ID Contact Name General Description Amount   There are two functions defined in the WSDL document  but I only need one   FirstFunction  below   Here is the script I run to get information on the available functions and types    client   new SoapClient  http   example com webservices wsdl    var dump  client- gt   getFunctions      var dump  client- gt   getTypes        And here is the output it generates   array     0    gt   FirstFunction Function1 FirstFunction  parameters       1    gt   SecondFunction Function2 SecondFunction  parameters        array     0    gt  struct Contact       id id      name name         1    gt  string  string description     2    gt  string  int amount      Say I want to make a call to the FirstFunction with the data     Contact ID  100 Contact Name  John General Description  Barrel of Oil Amount  500   What would be the right syntax  I ve been trying all sorts of options but it appears the soap structure is quite flexible so there are very many ways of doing this  Couldn t figure it out from the manual either        UPDATE 1  tried sample from MMK    client   new SoapClient  http   example com webservices wsdl      params   array     id    gt  100     name    gt   John      description    gt   Barrel of Oil      amount    gt  500      response    client- gt   soapCall  Function1   array  params      But I get this response  Object has no  Contact  property  As you can see in the output of getTypes    there is a struct called Contact  so I guess I somehow need to make clear my parameters include the Contact data  but the question is  how    UPDATE 2  I ve also tried these structures  same error    params   array    array       id    gt  100       name    gt   John           Barrel of Oil     500       As well as    params   array     Contact    gt  array       id    gt  100       name    gt   John           description    gt   Barrel of Oil      amount    gt  500       Error in both cases  Object has no  Contact  property

You need declare class Contract  class Contract     public  id    public  name      contract   new Contract     contract- gt id   100   contract- gt name    John     params   array     Contact    gt   contract     description    gt   Barrel of Oil      amount    gt  500       or   params   array     contract     description    gt   Barrel of Oil      amount    gt  500       Then   response    client- gt   soapCall  Function1   array  FirstFunction    gt   params      or   response    client- gt   soapCall  Function1    params

getLastRequest     This method works only if the SoapClient object was created with the trace option set to TRUE   TRUE in this case is represented by 1   wsdl   storage path  app mywsdl wsdl    try      options   array                     soap version   gt SOAP 1 1                  trace   gt 1                  exceptions   gt 1                    cache wsdl   gt WSDL CACHE NONE                     stream context    gt  stream context create  arrContextOptions                            client   new  SoapClient  wsdl  array  cache wsdl    gt  WSDL CACHE NONE              client   new  SoapClient  wsdl  array  cache wsdl    gt  WSDL CACHE NONE             client       new  SoapClient  wsdl  options      worked for me

I had the same issue  but I just wrapped the arguments like this and it works now        args   array         args  Header     array           CustomerCode    gt   dsadsad            Language    gt   fdsfasdf              args  RequestObject      whatever          this was the catch  double array with  Request       response    this- gt client- gt   soapCall  name  array array   Request    gt   args        Using this function    print r  this- gt client- gt   getLastRequest       You can see the Request XML whether it s changing or not depending on your arguments   Use   trace   1  exceptions   0   in SoapClient options

If you create the object of SoapParam  This will resolve your problem  Create a class and map it with object type given by WebService  Initialize the values and send in the request  See the sample below    struct Contact        function Contact   pid   pname              id    pid        name    pname          struct   new Contact 100  John      soapstruct   new SoapVar  struct  SOAP ENC OBJECT   Contact   http   soapinterop org xsd      ContactParam   new SoapParam  soapstruct   Contact     response    client- gt Function1  ContactParam

This is what you need to do   I tried to recreate the situation        For this example  I created a  NET sample WebService  WS  with a WebMethod called Function1 expecting the following params        Function1 Contact Contact  string description  int amount     Where Contact is just a model that has getters and setters for id and name like in your case  You can download the  NET sample WS at    https   www dropbox com s 6pz1w94a52o5xah 11593623 zip    The code   This is what you need to do at PHP side    Tested and working    lt  php    Create Contact class class Contact       public function   construct  id   name                  this- gt id    id           this- gt name    name              Initialize WS with the WSDL  client   new SoapClient  http   localhost 10139 Service1 asmx wsdl        Create Contact obj  contact   new Contact 100   John        Set request params  params   array     Contact    gt   contact     description    gt   Barrel of Oil      amount    gt  500         Invoke WS method  Function1  with the request params   response    client- gt   soapCall  Function1   array  params        Print WS response var dump  response      gt      Testing the whole thing    If you do print r  params  you will see the following output  as your WS would expect       Array    Contact     Contact Object    id     100  name     John      description     Barrel of Oil  amount     500      When I debugged the  NET sample WS I got the following       As you can see  Contact object is not null nor the other params  That means your request was successfully done from PHP side     The response from the  NET sample WS was the expected one and this is what I got at PHP side       object stdClass  3    public  Function1Result     string  Detailed   information of your request  id  100  name  John  description  Barrel   of Oil  amount  500   length 98      Happy Coding

read this -  http   php net manual en soapclient call php  Or  This is a good example  for the SOAP function    call   However it is deprecated    lt  php      wsdl    http   webservices tekever eu ctt  wsdl        int zona   5       int peso   1001       cliente   new SoapClient  wsdl       print   lt p gt Envio Internacional          vem    cliente- gt   call  CustoEMSInternacional  array  int zona   int peso        print  vem      print   lt  p gt      gt

You need a multi-dimensional array  you can try the following    params   array     array         id    gt  100         name    gt   John             Barrel of Oil      500      in PHP an array is a structure and is very flexible  Normally with soap calls I use an XML wrapper so unsure if it will work   EDIT   What you may want to try is creating a json query to send or using that to create a xml buy sort of following what is on this page  http   onwebdev blogspot com 2011 08 php-converting-rss-to-json html

First initialize webservices    client   new SoapClient  http   example com webservices wsdl      Then set and pass the parameters    params   array        arg0    gt   contactid       arg1    gt   desc       arg2    gt   contactname      response    client- gt   soapCall  methodname   array  params      Note that the method name is available in WSDL as operation name  e g     lt operation name  methodname  gt

First  use SoapUI to create your soap project from the wsdl  Try to send a request to play with the wsdl s operations  Observe how the xml request composes your data fields   And then  if you are having problem getting SoapClient acts as you want  here is how I debug it  Set the option trace so that the function   getLastRequest   is available for use    soapClient   new SoapClient  http   yourwdsdlurl com wsdl     trace    gt  true     params     user    gt   Hey    account    gt   12345     response    soapClient- gt   soapCall   lt operation gt     params    xml    soapClient- gt   getLastRequest      Then the  xml variable contains the xml that SoapClient compose for your request  Compare this xml with the one generated in the SoapUI    For me  SoapClient seems to ignore the keys of the associative array  params and interpret it as indexed array  causing wrong parameter data in the xml  That is  if I reorder the data in  params  the  response is completely different    params     account    gt   12345    user    gt   Hey     response    soapClient- gt   soapCall   lt operation gt     params

You can use SOAP services this way too   lt  php    Create the client object  soapclient   new SoapClient  http   www webservicex net globalweather asmx WSDL       Use the functions of the client  the params of the function are in    the associative array  params   array  CountryName    gt   Spain    CityName    gt   Alicante     response    soapclient- gt getWeather  params    var dump  response       Get the Cities By Country  param   array  CountryName    gt   Spain     response    soapclient- gt getCitiesByCountry  param    var dump  response    This is an example with a real service  and it works when the url is up  Just in case the http   www webservicex net is down  Here is another example using the example web service from W3C XML Web Services example  you can find more information on the link   lt  php   Create the client object  soapclient   new SoapClient  https   www w3schools com xml tempconvert asmx WSDL       Use the functions of the client  the params of the function are in   the associative array  params   array  Celsius    gt   25     response    soapclient- gt CelsiusToFahrenheit  params    var dump  response       Get the Celsius degrees from the Farenheit  param   array  Fahrenheit    gt   25     response    soapclient- gt FahrenheitToCelsius  param    var dump  response    This is working and returning the converted temperature values  Hope this helps

I don t know why my web service has the same structure with you but it doesn t need Class for parameter  just is array   For example    - My WSDL    lt soapenv Envelope xmlns soapenv  http   schemas xmlsoap org soap envelope                     xmlns ns  http   www kiala com schemas psws 1 0  gt       lt soapenv Header  gt       lt soapenv Body gt           lt ns createOrder reference  260778  gt               lt identification gt                   lt sender gt 5390a7006cee11e0ae3e0800200c9a66 lt  sender gt                   lt hash gt 831f8c1ad25e1dc89cf2d8f23d2af   fa85155f5c67627 lt  hash gt                   lt originator gt VITS-STAELENS lt  originator gt               lt  identification gt               lt delivery gt                   lt from country  ES  node         gt                   lt to country  ES  node  0299   gt               lt  delivery gt               lt parcel gt                   lt description gt Zoethout thee lt  description gt                   lt weight gt 0 100 lt  weight gt                   lt orderNumber gt 10K24 lt  orderNumber gt                   lt orderDate gt 2012-12-31 lt  orderDate gt               lt  parcel gt               lt receiver gt                   lt firstName gt Gladys lt  firstName gt                   lt surname gt Roldan de Moras lt  surname gt                   lt address gt                       lt line1 gt Calle General Ora   26 lt  line1 gt                       lt line2 gt  4   izda  lt  line2 gt                       lt postalCode gt 28006 lt  postalCode gt                       lt city gt Madrid lt  city gt                       lt country gt ES lt  country gt                   lt  address gt                   lt email gt gverbruggen kiala com lt  email gt                   lt language gt es lt  language gt               lt  receiver gt           lt  ns createOrder gt       lt  soapenv Body gt   lt  soapenv Envelope gt    I var dump   var dump  client- gt getFunctions     var dump  client- gt getTypes       Here is result   array   0   gt  string  OrderConfirmation createOrder OrderRequest  createOrder    length 56   array   0   gt  string  struct OrderRequest    Identification identification   Delivery delivery   Parcel parcel   Receiver receiver   string reference      length 130    1   gt  string  struct Identification    string sender   string hash   string originator      length 75    2   gt  string  struct Delivery    Node from   Node to      length 41    3   gt  string  struct Node    string country   string node      length 46    4   gt  string  struct Parcel    string description   decimal weight   string orderNumber   date orderDate      length 93    5   gt  string  struct Receiver    string firstName   string surname   Address address   string email   string language      length 106    6   gt  string  struct Address    string line1   string line2   string postalCode   string city   string country      length 99    7   gt  string  struct OrderConfirmation    string trackingNumber   string reference      length 71    8   gt  string  struct OrderServiceException    string code   OrderServiceException faultInfo   string message      length 97    So in my code        client    new SoapClient  http   packandship-ws kiala com psws order wsdl          params   array           reference    gt   orderId           identification    gt  array               sender    gt  param  kiala    sender id                 hash    gt  hash  sha512    orderId   param  kiala    sender id     param  kiala    password                  originator    gt  null                      delivery    gt  array               from    gt  array                   country    gt   es                    node    gt                                  to    gt  array                   country    gt   es                    node    gt   0299                                     parcel    gt  array               description    gt   Description                weight    gt  0 200               orderNumber    gt   orderId               orderDate    gt  date  Y-m-d                       receiver    gt  array               firstName    gt   Customer First Name                surname    gt   Customer Sur Name                address    gt  array                   line1    gt   Line 1 Adress                    line2    gt   Line 2 Adress                    postalCode    gt  28006                   city    gt   Madrid                    country    gt   es                                   email    gt   test ceres yahoo com                language    gt   es                        result    client- gt createOrder  params       var dump  result     but it successfully
