PHP - SOAP API authentication - php

Question

I encounter some problems when I try to call a method of api with authentication.
$auth = (object) array(
'user'=>'username',
'password'=>'password',
'company'=> 'companyname'
);
$url = 'https://webservices.gocadservices.com/NVS?wsdl';
$soap = new SoapClient('https://webservices.gocadservices.com/NVS?wsdl',$auth);
echo $soap->nop();
I get an error : The user parameter is empty or missing.
My question : How can I send a request xml like this :
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soapenv:Header>
<xs:nvheader xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:nvcommand>
<xs:user>
username
</xs:user>
<xs:password>
mot de passe
</xs:password>
<xs:company>
companyname
</xs:company>
</xs:nvcommand>
</xs:nvheader>
</soapenv:Header>
</soapenv:Envelope>
I must have this structure so that the API SOAP will work.
Thanks.

You need to set a SOAP Header for this to work:
$nvcommand = (object)[
'user' => 'username',
'password' => 'password',
'company' => 'company'];
$authHeader = new SoapHeader('namespace','nvcommand', $nvcommand);
$soapClient = new SoapClient('http://localhost:44333/SoapService.com?wsdl', $soapOptions);
$soapClient->__setSoapHeaders($authHeader);
$return = $soapClient->__soapCall('HelloWorld',[]);
This will send a SOAP Header
<env:Header>
<ns2:nvcommand>
<user>username</user>
<password>password</password>
<company>company</company>
</ns2:nvcommand>
</env:Header>
along with the Request. The options array in the SoapClient ctor isnt used to pass auth information. Please refer to
