PHP eBay GetOrders API (Unable To fetch Any Data) - php

Question

I am Trying to fetch ebay orders by using getOrders API, when i execute ebay PHP SDK it print:
"Sorry No entries found in the Time period requested. Change CreateTimeFrom/CreateTimeTo and Try again"
Please Help me...
Official ebay PHP SDK code :
<?php

/* Licensed under CDDL 1.0 - http://opensource.org/licenses/cddl1.php */
?>
<?php require_once('get-common/keys.php') ; //include keys file for auth token and other credentials ?>
<?php require_once('get-common/eBaySession.php') ; //include session file for curl operations ?>
<?php
//SiteID must also be set in the Request's XML
//SiteID = 0 (US) - UK = 3, Canada = 2, Australia = 15, ....
//SiteID Indicates the eBay site to associate the call with
$siteID = 0;
//the call being made:
$verb = 'GetOrders';
//Time with respect to GMT
//by default retreive orders in last 30 minutes
$CreateTimeFrom = gmdate("Y-m-d\TH:i:s",time()-(2*40*24*60*60)); //current time minus 80 Days
//echo "</br>";
$CreateTimeTo = gmdate("Y-m-d\TH:i:s");
//If you want to hard code From and To timings, Follow the below format in "GMT".
//$CreateTimeFrom = YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS; //GMT
//$CreateTimeTo = YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS; //GMT
///Build the request Xml string
$requestXmlBody = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>';
$requestXmlBody .= '<GetOrdersRequest xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">';
$requestXmlBody .= '<DetailLevel>ReturnAll</DetailLevel>';
$requestXmlBody .= "<CreateTimeFrom>".$CreateTimeFrom."</CreateTimeFrom><CreateTimeTo>".$CreateTimeTo."</CreateTimeTo>";
$requestXmlBody .= '<OrderRole>Seller</OrderRole><OrderStatus>All</OrderStatus>';
$requestXmlBody .= "<RequesterCredentials><eBayAuthToken>$userToken</eBayAuthToken></RequesterCredentials>";
$requestXmlBody.="<WarningLevel>High</WarningLevel>";
$requestXmlBody .= '</GetOrdersRequest>';
//Create a new eBay session with all details pulled in from included keys.php
$session = new eBaySession($userToken, $devID, $appID, $certID, $serverUrl, $compatabilityLevel, $siteID, $verb);
//send the request and get response
$responseXml = $session->sendHttpRequest($requestXmlBody);
if (stristr($responseXml, 'HTTP 404') || $responseXml == '')
die('<P>Error sending request');
//echo "<pre>";
//var_dump($responseXml);
//die;
//Xml string is parsed and creates a DOM Document object
$responseDoc = new DomDocument();
$responseDoc->loadXML($responseXml);
//get any error nodes
$errors = $responseDoc->getElementsByTagName('Errors');
$response = simplexml_import_dom($responseDoc);
$entries = $response->PaginationResult->TotalNumberOfEntries;
//if there are error nodes
if ($errors->length > 0) {
echo '<P><B>eBay returned the following error(s):</B>';
//display each error
//Get error code, ShortMesaage and LongMessage
$code = $errors->item(0)->getElementsByTagName('ErrorCode');
$shortMsg = $errors->item(0)->getElementsByTagName('ShortMessage');
$longMsg = $errors->item(0)->getElementsByTagName('LongMessage');
//Display code and shortmessage
echo '<P>', $code->item(0)->nodeValue, ' : ', str_replace(">", ">", str_replace("<", "<", $shortMsg->item(0)->nodeValue));
//if there is a long message (ie ErrorLevel=1), display it
if (count($longMsg) > 0)
echo '<BR>', str_replace(">", ">", str_replace("<", "<", $longMsg->item(0)->nodeValue));
}else { //If there are no errors, continue
if(isset($_GET['debug']))

header("Content-type: text/xml");
print_r($responseXml);

I would recommend the ebay-sdk-php from devbay.net :
https://github.com/davidtsadler/ebay-sdk-php
https://github.com/davidtsadler/ebay-sdk-examples
As for the date, I could be wrong, but I think it requires DateTime. Something like
CreateTimeFrom = new DateTime('02-10-2016');
CreateTimeTo = new DateTime('02-11-2016');
But I think you will have an easier time with the ebay-sdk-php
edit:
Actually I've been messing around with this more lately.
The default works for me
$CreateTimeFrom = gmdate("Y-m-d\TH:i:s",time()-1800); //current time minus 30 minutes
$CreateTimeTo = gmdate("Y-m-d\TH:i:s");
or you can hardcode your range like the following:
//If you want to hard code From and To timings, Follow the below format in "GMT".
//$CreateTimeFrom = YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS; //GMT
//$CreateTimeTo = YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS; //GMT
such as the following:
$CreateTimeFrom = '2017-03-20T00:00:00Z'; //GMT
$CreateTimeTo = '2017-03-22T00:00:00Z'; //GMT
Alternatively, you can just simply not use CreatedTimeTo and CreatedTimeFrom and use NumberOfDays instead
which is basically just commenting out CreatedTimeTo and CreatedTimeFrom
//$requestXmlBody .= "<CreateTimeFrom>$CreateTimeFrom</CreateTimeFrom><CreateTimeTo>$CreateTimeTo</CreateTimeTo>";
and directly underneath it use NumberOfDays
$requestXmlBody .= "<NumberOfDays>2</NumberOfDays>";
