how to implement soap request in php? - php

Question

I searched this website for a helpful response for integrating a SOAP Request in PHP, but I didn't find anything that solved my problem.
I'm new to SOAP and can't figure out why I am not getting any response:
<?php
$xml = '<?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>'.
'<food xmlns="http://www.localhost:81/dbWIP/xml1.xml">'.
'<price>$5.95</price>'.
'</food>'.
'</soap:Body>'.
'</soap:Envelope>';
$url = "http://www.localhost:81/dbWIP/xml1.xml";
$ch = curl_init();
echo $ch;
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
$headers = array();
array_push($headers, "Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8");
array_push($headers, "Accept: text/xml");
array_push($headers, "Cache-Control: no-cache");
array_push($headers, "Pragma: no-cache");
array_push($headers, "SOAPAction:http://www.localhost:81/dbWIP/xml1.xml");
if($xml != null) {
echo $xml;
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "$xml");
array_push($headers, "Content-Length: " . strlen($xml));
}
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "user_name:password"); /* If required */
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
echo $response;
$code = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
echo"<br/> CODE:"$code;
curl_close($ch);
?>

Answer 1

I think you are missing URL from curl_init which will initialize a cURL session, but yours has no URL.
$curl = curl_init("http://www.localhost:81/dbWIP/xml1.xml");
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_0);
curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);
curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
//curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 1);
//curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $xml);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response = curl_exec($curl);
And try setting your headers to
$headers = array(
'Content-type: text/xml;charset="utf-8"',
'Accept: text/xml',
'Cache-Control: no-cache',
'Pragma: no-cache',
'Content-length: ' . strlen($xml),
);

Try to remove the quotation marks:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $xml);
