I am a beginner at SOAP and have been trying to figure how to get get a proper response when I call the SOAP API. I have tried diff method since last 3 days but still have no idea. I have already tried similar questions like this on stackoverflow but somehow they are not working for me.
I really appreciated your help or response how I may be able to get this done.
Here's the sample request that I should send:
POST /wsror/Form.asmx HTTP/1.1
Host: 10.159.159.1
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: length
SOAPAction: "http://apps.in/wsror/GetAllVill"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<GetAllVill xmlns="http://apps.in/wsror">
<strTaluka>string</strTaluka>
<Username>string</Username>
<Password>string</Password>
</GetAllVill>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
here's the response:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: length
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<GetAllVillResponse xmlns="http://apps.in/wsror">
<GetAllVillResult>dataset</GetAllVillResult>
</GetAllVillResponse>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
I have tried fetching response by using below method:
$soapclient = new SoapClient('sensitive info');
$param=array('sensitive info');
$response =$soapclient->GetAllVill($param);
var_dump($response);
and I get below response:
object(stdClass)#2 (1) { ["GetAllVillResult"]=> object(stdClass)#3 (1) { ["any"]=> string(6596) "19200Adco 24000Bandora 3001000600020700Beto 30010tqui 001900Bma 300100060Borim 600019Capar " } }
I have used curls to finally solve this issue.

<strTaluka>code</strTaluka>
<Username>Username</Username>
<Password>Password</Password>
</GetAllVill>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>';
$headers = array(
"Content-type: text/xml",
"Content-length: " . strlen($xml),
"Connection: close",
);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $xml);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
//echo $data;
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadXML($data);
and then looped through the required tags.
$VILLAGES = $doc->getElementsByTagName('VILLAGES');
foreach ($VILLAGES as $VILLAGE) {
$VillageName = $VILLAGE->getElementsByTagName('VillageName')->item(0)->nodeValue;
$Village = $VILLAGE->getElementsByTagName('Village')->item(0)->nodeValue;
// $id = $VILLAGE->getElementsByTagName('taluka')->item(0)->nodeValue;
echo '<option value="'.htmlentities($Village, ENT_QUOTES, "UTF-8").'" >'.htmlentities($VillageName, ENT_QUOTES, "UTF-8").'</option> ';
}

I have a soap request. I am able to send the request and get a response in a string. Now I want to convert it into XML and get the required data from it.

What I have tried?
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($response);
print_r($xml);
die();
It gives me an empty result
$doc = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'utf-8');
$doc->loadXML($response);
$XMLresults = $doc->getElementsByTagName("AsyncReplyFlag")->item(0)->textContent;
echo $XMLresults;
die();
It gives me an error
Trying to get property of non-object
$XMLresults = $doc->getElementsByTagName("AsyncReplyFlag")->item(0)->textContent;
Still, I am unable to get the value of <AsyncReplyFlag>true</AsyncReplyFlag>
How can I achieve it?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
DOMDocument should have no problem extracting it, as a quick one-liner:
echo (#DOMDocument::loadXML($response))->getElementsByTagName("AsyncReplyFlag")->item(0)->textContent;
... or if you want to meticulously check for errors every step of the way,
$xml_errors=[];
set_error_handler(function(int $errno, string $errstr, string $errfile, int $errline, array $errcontext) use(&$xml_errors){
ob_start();
call_user_func_array('var_dump',func_get_args());
$xml_errors[]=ob_get_clean();
});
$domd=new DOMDocument();
$loaded=$domd->loadXML($response);
restore_error_handler();
if(!$loaded){
if(defined('STDERR')){
fprintf(STDERR,"%s",$response);
}
throw new \RuntimeException("errors parsing XML! xml printed in stderr, parsing errors: ".print_r($xml_errors,true));
}
$ele=$domd->getElementsByTagName("AsyncReplyFlag");
if($ele->length<1){
if(defined('STDERR')){
fprintf(STDERR,"%s",$response);
}
throw new \RuntimeException("did not get AsyncReplyFlag in response! (xml printed in stderr)");
}
echo $ele->item(0)->textContent;
Trying to output a SimpleXMLElement using var_dump() isn't a good idea and as you have seen - doesn't give much.
If you just want to see the XML it has loaded, instead use...
echo $xml->asXML();
which will show you the XML has loaded OK, so then to output the field your after is just
$xml = simplexml_load_string($response);
echo $xml->Header->AsyncReplyFlag;
Using the XPath query
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlData);
echo $xml->xpath('//AsyncReplyFlag')[0];
OR
You can use xml_parser_create
$p = xml_parser_create();
xml_parse_into_struct($p, $xml, $values, $indexes);// $xml containing the XML
xml_parser_free($p);
echo $values[12]['value'];
For other details, you can print_r($values)
I am completly new to SOAP operations.
I have been provided with an XML document (SOAP) to get some collection points for a shipping method.
From the manual located here:
http://privpakservices.schenker.nu/package/package_1.3/packageservices.asmx?op=SearchCollectionPoint
I can see that I need to use the following SOAP request:
POST /package/package_1.3/packageservices.asmx HTTP/1.1
Host: privpakservices.schenker.nu
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: length
SOAPAction: "http://privpakservices.schenker.nu/SearchCollectionPoint"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<SearchCollectionPoint xmlns="http://privpakservices.schenker.nu/">
<customerID>long</customerID>
<key>string</key>
<serviceID>string</serviceID>
<paramID>int</paramID>
<address>string</address>
<postcode>string</postcode>
<city>string</city>
<maxhits>int</maxhits>
</SearchCollectionPoint>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
The thing is that i don't know how to send this as a request using PHP, and how to get the response.
Any help to pinpoint me in the right direction, is much appreciated.
UPDATE
I can read the response data with var_dump. However, I am not able to read individual element data.
I need to read data as below
foreach($parser as $row) {
echo $row->customerID;
echo $row->key;
echo $row->serviceID;
}
If anyone should be interested, i have provided the correct answer:
$soapUrl = "http://privpakservices.schenker.nu/package/package_1.3/packageservices.asmx?op=SearchCollectionPoint";

);
$url = $soapUrl;
$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $xml_post_string);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$response1 = str_replace("<soap:Body>","",$response);
$response2 = str_replace("</soap:Body>","",$response1);
$parser = simplexml_load_string($response2);
following example might help you.

In production the SMS API was using this code and code was exected more than 20 time per seconds and performance is good as-well.
I have been working with some code for many hours today, wondering if someone could point me in a better direction than I'm going now.
I have PHP code that is fetching an array of data by sending XML via send_request_via_curl($host,$path,$content).
My function:
function send_request_via_curl($host,$path,$content)
{
$posturl = "https://" . $host . $path;
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $posturl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, Array("Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded"));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, Array("Content-Type: text/xml;charset=utf-8"));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $content);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
// curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
return $response;
}
$headers = array(
"Content-type: text/xml;charset=utf-8",
"Accept: application/xml",
"Cache-Control: no-cache",
"Pragma: no-cache",
"Content-length: " . strlen($content),
);
$content = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>';
$response = send_request_via_curl($host,$path,$content);
EDIT:
I'm getting closer, I implemented Baba's code and now getting a different error:
Warning: Unknown: Node no longer exists in....
I have the same code from above, with this now processing the response:
if ($response)
{
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($response);
$xml->registerXPathNamespace("soap", "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/");
$path = $xml->xpath("//soap:Body");
$path = $path[0] ;
foreach($path->GetLocationsResponse->GetLocationsResult->SearchLocations->children() as $table)
{
echo $table->Table->LocationName . "<br>";
}
Here's the true XML returned - I noticed Firebug made all the XML lowercase, whereas the source code has capitals mixed in which I think might matter.

THANKS!!!
The response you got is not HTML but XML but it looks like Your XML is wrong there is an invalid tag or you must have made mistake ... see
<LocationName>Hawaii</Location>
^--- it should be LocationName
It should be like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<getlocationsresponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org">
<getlocationsresult>
<SearchLocations>
<Table>
<LocationID>10322</LocationID>
<LocationName>Hawaii</LocationName>
</Table>
</SearchLocations>
</getlocationsresult>
</getlocationsresponse>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
Read This XML
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($data);
$xml->registerXPathNamespace("soap", "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/");
$path = $xml->xpath("//soap:Body");
$path = $path[0] ;
foreach($path->getlocationsresponse->getlocationsresult->SearchLocations->children() as $table)
{
echo $table->LocationName . "<br>";
}
Output
Hawaii
------ Edit --------
Your new XML is wrong again .. this is what it should look like http://codepad.org/JgJfqnrA
Baba is correct, the built in functions for parsing XML are the best way to do this but you could also use regex if the XML is really sent back with mismatching tags.
function regex_all( $capture, $haystack, $return=1 ) {
preg_match_all( "#$capture#", $haystack, $match );
return $match[ $return ];
}
foreach( regex_all('<LocationName>(.*?)<\/', $data) as $locationName ) {
echo "$locationName<br>";
}
This would not be the preferred method because the regex isn't as reliable.

i want to know how to make the request and how to handle response if this had to be done in php. i read this but i can't figure out how would __setSoapHeaders() and __call() be implemented in my case. thanks in advance.
There's a SOAP library for PHP, but for a simple exchange you might consider building XML request body as a string and the dispatch it using the curl library function. It's a much more low-level network api, which I at least find easier to use. Note that PHP needs to be compiled --with-curl[=DIR].
<?php
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $uri);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
if ((bool)$proxy) {
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Pragma:','Cache-Control:'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, $proxy);
}
// Apply the XML to our curl call
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $xml_data);
$out = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
?>
