SOAP header in PHP - php

Question

I have a complex SOAP header which fails to pass security on the web service:
Here is the required XML:
<soapenv:Header>
<sec:Customer>
<sec:Name>Name</sec:Name>
</sec:Customer>
<Security xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">
<UsernameToken>
<Username>User</Username>
<Password Type="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#PasswordText">Password</Password>
</UsernameToken>
</Security>
</soapenv:Header>';
And here is the PHP I tried:
$client = new SoapClient($wsdl, array( 'trace' => 1,'exceptions' => 1));
$cust = array('Name' => "Name");
$token = array('UsernameToken' => array('Username' => "User",'Password' => "Password" ));
$headers = array();
$headers[] = new SoapHeader($ns1,'Customer',$cust);
$headers[] = new SoapHeader($ns2,'Security',$token);
$client->__setSoapHeaders($headers);

WsSecutiry headers are specials and can be tricky to set. They are not declared as the other common Soap Headers.
Your WsSecurity header is pretty basic whereas it can be more complexe when it includes password digest, nonce, and other timestamp information. WsSecurity header can easily be added using the WsSecurity project.
You have to be sure of what is sent (SoapClient::__getLastRequest()) and you mus tbe sure that it matches what is expected if you don't want an error in return. If you still have an error, you should first contact the web service provider.
