Posting a SOAP request with php - php

Question

I'm at a slight loss, havent touched a soap script in forever and looking around stackoverflow and google just confuses the matter more. PHP.net examples seem outdated as well.
The SOAP Request is supposed to POST to a non-WSDL url.
https://some.soapurl.com/provided
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:cam="http://kamp.gw.com/kamp">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<cam:setRolesUpdatedRequest>
<cam:orgCode>username</cam:orgCode>
<cam:password>password</cam:password>
<cam:emails>
<cam:email>abc#dom.com</cam:email>
<cam:email>def#dom.com</cam:email>
<cam:email>ghi#dom.com</cam:email>
</cam:emails>
<cam:updateAllUsers>false</cam:updateAllUsers>
</cam:setRolesUpdatedRequest>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
Just running this snippet returns a 200 OK header, which is good.
try {
$client = new SoapClient("https://abc.kamp.group.com/axis/services/KampService/setRolesUpdated");
}
catch(Exception $e)
{
$e->getMessage();
}
The Response i'm looking to get is supposed to look like
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soapenv:Body>
<ns1:returnStatus xmlns:ns1="http://kamp.gw.com/kamp">
<ns1:type>S</ns1:type>
<ns1:desc>Successful</ns1:desc>
</ns1:returnStatus>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
EDIT:
I attempted a curl version to post the xml string directly.
$post_string = '<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:cam="http://kamp.gw.com/kamp">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<cam:setRolesUpdatedRequest>
<cam:orgCode>username</cam:orgCode>
<cam:password>password</cam:password>
<cam:emails>
<cam:email>abc#dom.com</cam:email>
<cam:email>def#dom.com</cam:email>
<cam:email>ghi#dom.com</cam:email>
</cam:emails>
<cam:updateAllUsers>false</cam:updateAllUsers>
</cam:setRolesUpdatedRequest>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>';
$user = "username";
$password = "password";
$headers = array(
"Content-type: text/xml;charset=\"utf-8\"",
"Accept: text/xml",
"Cache-Control: no-cache",
"Pragma: no-cache",
"SOAPAction: \"run\"",
"Content-length: ".strlen($xml),
);
$soap_do = curl_init();
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_URL, "https://abc.kamp.group.com/axis/services/KampService/setRolesUpdated" );
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 100000);
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 100000);
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true );
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_POST, true );
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_string);
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers); //array('Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8', 'Content-Length: '.strlen($post_string) )
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $user . ":" . $password);
$result = curl_exec($soap_do);
$err = curl_error($soap_do);
var_dump($result);
echo "<br /><br />";
var_dump($err);
But unfortunately the result is
bool(false)
string(74) "Failed connect to abc.kamp.group.com:443; Connection timed out"
And i'm not certain if that's my fault or the web service's fault. Even though i get connection timed out, the header returned is still 200 Ok.

Answer 1

First check that the SOAP service url and access credentials are working. Use SoapUI or a similar tool to make a request independent of your PHP SoapClient code.
Also check if there are any IP address restrictions in place when making calls and, if so, create / ask for an exception for the IP address you are making requests from.
If everything checks, use php.net SoapClient examples to make simple calls and build your script logic.
<?php
$client = new SoapClient('http://soap.amazon.com/schemas3/AmazonWebServices.wsdl');
var_dump($client->__getFunctions());
?>

Forgot i was behind a proxy, once i pointed curl to the proxy server everything worked out just fine.
