i'm trying to make a soap service that is capable of inserting certain values into a microsoft sql database, the server is php and the client calls the server from powershell.
So i have a Soap server setup with NuSOAP and a number of methods, these methods are made like this:
$server->register('InsertInDb',
array('query' => 'xsd:string'), // parameter
array('return' => 'xsd:string'), // output
'urn:server', // namespace
'urn:server#helloServer', // soapaction
'rpc', // style
'encoded', // use
'the query you want to execute');
now i can call this method with the following code from the powershell client:
$url = ".../NuSoapServerTest.php?wsdl"
$proxy = New-WebServiceProxy $url
$proxy | gm -memberType Method
$proxy.InsertInDb('Insert into value etc...')
however i want to be able to execute a method like this
$url = ".../NuSoapServerTest.php?wsdl"
$soap = [xml]#'
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi=".../NuSoapServerTest.php?wsdl">
<soap:Body>
<inventory>
<machine>
<systemname>example value</systemname>
</machine>
<hardware>
<machine_type>example value</machine_type>
</hardware>
</inventory>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
'#
$ret = Execute-SOAPRequest $soap $url;
with each <'tag'> meaning a layer in the database.
i've been looking around the web a lot for examples but as of yet i haven't found any examples that make it clear to me how i can set either the server or client up to execute my methods in the demonstrated way.
Maybe i am misunderstanding the principals of SOAP and how its supposed to work or i'm just being dumb but any help would be appreciated
edit: it might be worth noting this is the first time i am working with powershell.

I'm having trouble creating the right SOAP call in PHP. I've tested the following call in SOAP UI and it works, but I've tried everything from creating objects, arrays and SOAPHeaders and I can't seem to get the right call. Here is the request that works in SOAP UI:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:com="com.dtn.aghost.API.subscriptions">
<soapenv:Header>
<com:ServiceCredentials>
<usernamePasswordCombo>
<username>[username]</username>
<password>[password]</password>
</usernamePasswordCombo>
</com:ServiceCredentials>
</soapenv:Header>
<soapenv:Body>
<com:SubscriptionServiceIdList>
<visible>1</visible>
</com:SubscriptionServiceIdList>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
Thanks!
I had some questions as your request has very little information regarding what you've already tried. I suggest you add some of the code that you have attempted to use and some of the resources you've looked at to get that information. In addition it would help to answer your request if you described the results of what you tried. Such as were there errors if so what errors did you see?
A good place to look to get examples of PHP code connecting to a SOAP web service would be the PHP documentation about the Soap Client.
In the comments of that page you will find examples of code that others have used. You may be adapt that to use that for your purposes.
As for an example of code connecting to a SOAP web service
<?php
$http_client = 'http://example.com/MyService.asmx?wsdl';
$client = new SoapClient($http_client, array(
'style' => SOAP_DOCUMENT,
'use' => SOAP_LITERAL,
'soap_version'=>SOAP_1_1,
'trace' => 1,
'connection_timeout' => 300));
$params = array( 'username' => $user_name, 'password' => $password);
$results = $client->myFunction($params);
// Debug code can be added after this
?>
Another thing that you will need to do is debug the results of the request. In the example above it sets the value of trace to 1. This allows you to debug the SOAP request that has taken place. You can do that with the following code.
// Debug code
echo $client->__getLastRequestHeaders();
echo $client->__getLastRequest()
echo $client->__getLastResponseHeaders();
echo $client->__getLastResponse();
PHP SoapClient getLastResponse
Last of all you can use is_soap_fault to determine if the request failed. There are some good code examples on the PHP documentation for getting the error code of what happened.
I am new to SOAP WSDL FUNCTIONS. I have a client who has been given a wsdl file from a company that deals in car testing. My client is a subcontractor for them. They have told us to upload the information about the car plate, category etc and once the details are sent through,There will be a response from server of either success or failure. Kindly assist in this.
Browsing through different information, I tried to do something like below but it is not working
<?php
$data = array('1'=>'value','2'=>'value','3'=>'value','4'='value','5'=>'value');
$wsdl ='http://181.24.80.32/ws/services/servicename';
$client = new SoapClient($wsdl);
$response = $client->servicenamerequest($data);
echo $response->servicenamereturn;
?>
First of all: Go get SoapUI if you are dealing with an unknown Soap service. SoapUI will read the WSDL file and allow you to look at nearly everything related to Soap methods, parameters, and return values (if you dare to make a call to the live service - hopefully there is a sandbox server that does nothing critical).
But SoapUI can help you there by creating a mock service that receives your request and responds with a canned request that you prepared. Here's how I got from your linked WSDL to a working code example without touching the real service.
Setting up SoapUI
Create a new project in SoapUI and give the location of the WSDL. You might name this project.
SoapUI then reads the contents of the WSDL and creates the project containing all described requests. After that you see what methods the service offers, and what kind of parameters have to go into it, as a tree. Opening this tree will get you to "Request 1" for every method detected, which displays some XML in the free version (paid version is slightly more comfortable with a form to fill) like this (from the vehiclePassedTest method):
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:tr="http://tr.gov.tp.stp.ws.PassedVehicleTestService">
<soapenv:Header>
<tr:password>?</tr:password>
<tr:username>?</tr:username>
</soapenv:Header>
<soapenv:Body>
<tr:vehiclePassedTest>
<chassisNo>?</chassisNo>
<plateNo>?</plateNo>
<plateCode>?</plateCode>
<plateCategory>?</plateCategory>
<plcEmiCode>?</plcEmiCode>
<currentUserName>?</currentUserName>
</tr:vehiclePassedTest>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
The questionmarks are where you have to provide data. This request structure has to be created by you using the SoapClient of PHP.
Let's mock this. Mocking means that SoapUI starts it's own Soap server that accepts requests. It usually runs on 127.0.0.1:8080. Right-click on the project "PassedVehicleTestService" and select "New MockService". Accept the name, press Ok.
Right-click on the method you want to mock. Select "Add to mock service" and select the created one from the previous step. Answer yes to open the mock response editor. There you see the XML structure of the answer, with question marks for the data that the service will fill out. All the responses from this service allow one answer as a string, so write something nice that will be returned. You can add the other methods to this service later if needed.
Right-click your "MockService 1" and select "Start minimized". This will start the Soap server, it will wait for an incoming request.
Setup PHP SoapClient for the mock.
You need to know two things. First the location of the WSDL. This file contains the address of the real server to be used for the requests, but PHP allows to override this. So the second info you need is the address of the running mock service.
SoapUI displays the address from the WSDL in the request editor. In your case it is http://181.24.80.32/ws/services/PassedVehicleTestService - the mock service runs on http://127.0.0.1:8080/ws/services/PassedVehicleTestService - IP and port is replaced, the path is kept.
This leads to the first lines of PHP code:
$options = array(
'location' => 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/ws/services/PassedVehicleTestService',
);
$client = new SoapClient("http://www.quickregistration.ae/temp/PassedVehicleTestService.xml", $options);
After that you have a configured SoapClient able to talk to your mock service. If later you want to use the real service, throw the line with "location" out of the array, and keep the other config parameters if you happen to add some.
Talk to the mock
With the client, you can do $client->nameOfSoapMethod(paramStructure). The parameter structure usually is a mixture of arrays or objects and scalar values like strings. So that's what I try first:
$result = $client->vehiclePassedTest(array());
var_dump($result);
Then I look at SoapUI to see what happens. Output from the php script:
Notice: Array to string conversion in [...]/soap.php on line 20
string(1) "?"
SoapUI says:
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="http://tr.gov.tp.stp.ws.PassedVehicleTestService">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns1:vehiclePassedTest>
<chassisNo>Array</chassisNo>
<plateNo/>
<plateCode/>
<plateCategory/>
<plcEmiCode/>
<currentUserName/>
</ns1:vehiclePassedTest>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
That was not the right approach. The array got converted into a string "Array", and was placed as the first parameter. The rest is empty. Nice, because I know that soap calls may accept more that one parameter, and this is one of these services.
$result = $client->vehiclePassedTest('chassisNo', 'plateNo', 'plateCode', 'plateCategory', 'plcEmiCode', 'currentUserName');
This shows up correctly in SoapUI, but the headers are still missing.
Adding SoapHeader to the request
The SoapClient offers a method named __setSoapHeaders(), and there is a class SoapHeader.
The description says that setSoapHeaders() accepts one SoapHeader object or an array of SoapHeader objects. Let's create one, pass it and see what happens:
$username = new SoapHeader();
$client->__setSoapHeaders($username);
$result = $client->vehiclePassedTest('chassisNo', 'plateNo', 'plateCode', 'plateCategory', 'plcEmiCode', 'currentUserName');
var_dump($result);
PHP says: Warning: SoapHeader::SoapHeader() expects at least 2 parameters, 0 given
$username = new SoapHeader('namespace', 'username', 'MyUserName');
This works. SoapUI says:
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="http://tr.gov.tp.stp.ws.PassedVehicleTestService" xmlns:ns2="namespace">
<SOAP-ENV:Header>
<ns2:username>MyUserName</ns2:username>
</SOAP-ENV:Header>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns1:vehiclePassedTest><chassisNo>chassisNo</chassisNo><plateNo>plateNo</plateNo><plateCode>plateCode</plateCode><plateCategory>plateCategory</plateCategory><plcEmiCode>plcEmiCode</plcEmiCode><currentUserName>currentUserName</currentUserName></ns1:vehiclePassedTest>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
Note the TWO xmlns attributes in the SOAP-ENV:Envelope element. The original request requires the username be in the namespace "tr" - but "tr" is only a shortcut to the string that is defined as "xlmns:tr" - the string behind this is your namespace needed (although it might already work with the real service).
$username = new SoapHeader("http://tr.gov.tp.stp.ws.PassedVehicleTestService", 'username', 'myUser');
$password = new SoapHeader("http://tr.gov.tp.stp.ws.PassedVehicleTestService", 'password', 'yetAnotherPassword');
$client->__setSoapHeaders(array($username, $password));
This correctly defines the headers, as you can see:
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="http://tr.gov.tp.stp.ws.PassedVehicleTestService">
<SOAP-ENV:Header>
<ns1:username>myUser</ns1:username>
<ns1:password>yetAnotherPassword</ns1:password>
</SOAP-ENV:Header>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns1:vehiclePassedTest><chassisNo>chassisNo</chassisNo><plateNo>plateNo</plateNo><plateCode>plateCode</plateCode><plateCategory>plateCategory</plateCategory><plcEmiCode>plcEmiCode</plcEmiCode><currentUserName>currentUserName</currentUserName></ns1:vehiclePassedTest>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
No two namespaces in the envelope element, and every element is of namespace "ns1". This should work.
Your final code:
$options = array(
'location' => 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/ws/services/PassedVehicleTestService',
);
$client = new SoapClient("http://www.quickregistration.ae/temp/PassedVehicleTestService.xml", $options);
$username = new SoapHeader("http://tr.gov.tp.stp.ws.PassedVehicleTestService", 'username', 'myUser');
$password = new SoapHeader("http://tr.gov.tp.stp.ws.PassedVehicleTestService", 'password', 'yetAnotherPassword');
$client->__setSoapHeaders(array($username, $password));
$result = $client->vehiclePassedTest('chassisNo', 'plateNo', 'plateCode', 'plateCategory', 'plcEmiCode', 'currentUserName');
var_dump($result);
try something like this. Works for me.
try {
$client = new SoapClient("http://wsdl", array('trace' => 1));
$data = $client->someFunction(array('parma1' => 'value1', 'param2' => 'value2'));
print_r($data);
} catch (SoapFault $fault) {
trigger_error("SOAP Fault: (faultcode: {$fault->faultcode}, faultstring: {$fault->faultstring})", E_USER_ERROR);
exit();
}
And check is you have installed php-soap package in your server.
Greatings.
We need to communicate with the .NET webservice url and get the date from the method by passing respective arguments. When trying to use with the NUSOAP library in the reponse i got the error as result in the response node.
So i tried the sample w3schools temperature convert webservice link and tested it. While doing this, i got the same error result. I have pasted the code below for your reference:
$client = new nusoap_client('http://www.w3schools.com/webservices/tempconvert.asmx',false);
$soapaction = "http://tempuri.org/CelsiusToFahrenheit";
$namespace= "http://tempuri.org/";
$client->soap_defencoding = 'UTF-8';
$params = array(
'Celsius' => "122"
);
$result = $client->call('CelsiusToFahrenheit', $params,$namespace,$soapaction);
I got the response as below,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><soap:Body><CelsiusToFahrenheitResponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org/"><CelsiusToFahrenheitResult>Error</CelsiusToFahrenheitResult></CelsiusToFahrenheitResponse></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>
Can you please let me know where it is wrong in accessing the webservice call. If you need any other details let me know.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards
Srinivasan
found that the webservice call works in php using nusoap
I have made changes in below line to
$client = new nusoap_client('http://www.w3schools.com/webservices/tempconvert.asmx',false);
using below code works,
$client = new nusoap_client('http://www.w3schools.com/webservices/tempconvert.asmx?wsdl',true);
I haven't done any xml projects, so I'm not quite sure what to do with this data...

Anyway, I expected to feed that stuff (we'll call it data) into
$results = simplexml_load_string($data);
var_dump($results);
And that would give me all the data back... and then to access specific parts, it would be $results->body->loginResponse->blah->blah...
But It's not giving me that, it's not really giving me anything back, just an empty simple xml object...
So one website made me think I might need an XSLT to read this correctly.
Or something else made me think it's because I don't have at the top.
Help!
You can use SimpleXML but it's not quite as simple as you hope due to the use of namespaces (e.g. soapenv). Look into using SimpleXMLElement::children like:
$sxe = new SimpleXMLElement($data);
$login_response = $sxe->children('soapenv', TRUE)->Body->children('', TRUE)->loginResponse->result;
// Now that we have the <loginResponse> lets take a look at an item within it
echo $login_response->userInfo->userEmail;
Finally, and importantly, have you had a look at salesforce's tools & examples?
SimpleXML needs a special treatment for namespaced XML (ref.)
Mate,
Name spaces usually require you to make a call using children to return the namespaced elements. I would recommend using a soap client like php soapclient, but since I've never used it before there is one other possible option.
$results = simplexml_load_string($data);
$xml = $results->children('http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/');
var_dump($xml);
I believe that's how it works.
For what it's worth, you may find you have an easier time using a PHP SoapClient for this task. O'Reilly has a good tutorial on PHP SOAP.
Also checkout the PHP Toolkit for making SOAP calls to Salesforce.com
I try to follow the syntax by salathe. But children('soapenv', TRUE) doens't work for me, Jason's children('http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/') work.
Therefore, to read the field value CreatedDate in Salesforce Outbound Message, I need following code:
$rcXML->children('http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/')->Body->children('http://soap.sforce.com/2005/09/outbound')->notifications->Notification->sObject->children('urn:sobject.enterprise.soap.sforce.com')->CreatedDate
To help you understand how it work, I write a post with sames code and xml which shall be easier to understand.
http://amigotechnotes.wordpress.com/2013/11/16/parse-xml-with-namespace-by-simplexml-in-php/
Parsing soap responses with SimpleXML has a brilliant and concise example of multi-namespace XML parsing.
For anyone wanting to get at the RateResponse from the UPS Rating API, here's how :
// $client is your SoapClient object
$dom = new DOMDocument;
$dom->loadXML($client->__getLastResponse());
$xml = simplexml_load_string($dom->saveXML(), NULL, NULL, 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/');
$RateResponse = $xml->xpath('/soapenv:Envelope/soapenv:Body')[0]->children('rate', true)->RateResponse;
foreach($RateResponse->RatedShipment as $RatedShipment) {
print_r((array)$RatedShipment);
}
For SAOP request, we can parse easily with a short code by replacing the SOAP-ENV: tag with blank
$response = '<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns="urn:partner.soap.sforce.com" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<soapenv:Body>';
$response = html_entity_decode($response);
$response = str_replace(['soapenv:', 'ns1:', ':ns1', 'SOAP-ENV:'], ['', '', '', ''], $response);
$objXmlData = simplexml_load_string($response);
I'm trying to use a webservice which only allows SOAP request
as far as I know I must create a request that looks like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<SessionCreateRQ xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<POS>
<Source PseudoCityCode="SECRET_CODE" />
</POS>
</SessionCreateRQ>
however while adding the parameter to SessionCreateRQ method I don't know how to add the POS parameter called Source and have no clue on how to set the attribute for that parameter
im trying the following in php
$body = array(
'POS' => array('source' => 'PseudoCityCode:SECRET_CODE'));
try
{
$result = $c->SessionCreateRQ($body);
}
but no luck, does anyone has a clue on how should I construct this call properly ?
thanks !
Firstly you need WSDL definition for this service (online or in local file). Any not bad SOAP service provide WSDL to users.
Secondly you need translate WSDL service definition to PHP-code. Try wsdl2php generator. Its generate file with classes, that making calls to web-services.
Your example will be approximately as follows:
require_once 'GeneratedTypes.php';
$client = new SOAPService();
$res = $client->SessionCreateRQ(SECRET_CODE);
p.s. wsdl2php not ideal but it is working :)
