DHL PHP Express (DHL Global Webservices) - php

Question

Hy all!
I try to do DHL Express, but I get caught up very much with DHL not really wanting to help. So I would like to ask for help.
And since I do not get back tracking numbers for anything just underlying XML, so I would like to ask for help. Thank you very much for helping me.
What I try:
// The url of the service
$url = 'https://wsbexpress.dhl.com:443/sndpt/expressRateBook?WSDL';
// the soap operation which is called
$action = 'createShipmentRequest';
// the xml input of the service
$xmlrequest = '<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:rat="http://scxgxtt.phx-dc.dhl.com/euExpressRateBook/RateMsgRequest">
<soapenv:Header>

try {
// the soap client accepts options, we specify the soap version

$opts = array(

$output = $client->__doRequest($xmlrequest, $url, $action, 1);
} catch (SoapFault $fault) {
echo "<h2>SOAP Fault!</h2><p>";
echo "FaultCode: {$fault->faultcode} <br/>";
echo "FaultString: {$fault->faultstring} <br/>";
echo"</p/>";
}
echo "<h2>WSDL URL: </h2><p>";
echo $url;
echo "</p/>";
echo "<h2>Action: </h2><p>";
echo $action;
echo "</p/>";
echo "<h2>XMLRequest: </h2><p>";
echo $xmlrequest;
echo "</p/>";
if (!isset($output)) {
echo "<h2>SOAP Fault!</h2><p>";
echo "FaultCode: {$output->faultcode} <br/>";
echo "FaultString: {$output->faultstring} <br/>";
} else {
echo "<h2>Output: </h2><p>";
file_put_contents('dhl.xml', $output);
echo $output;
echo "</p/>";
}
Return: https://justpaste.it/52zqa (sorry too long)
The question is what do I get to get this xml?
Not returning the shipment number and returning the corresponding data

Answer 1

I think you are getting an WSDL because your URL is asking for it. Try removing the ?WSDL:
$url = 'https://wsbexpress.dhl.com:443/sndpt/expressRateBook';
