What would be this SOAP request in php (adding an object) - php

Question

I admit to being a bit confused. I need to convert the below SOAP (.net I presume) into a php call (It is to integrate with Checkmarx - https://checkmarx.atlassian.net/wiki/display/KC/Initiating+a+Session):
public void LogAdminIn()
{
CxSDKWebServiceSoapClient cxSDKProxy = new CxSDKWebServiceSoapClient();
CxWSResponseLoginData loginResult = cxSDKProxy.Login(new Credentials() { User = "admin#cx", Pass = "admin" }, 1033);
sessionID = loginResult.SessionId;
}
This was my attempt:
$client = new SoapClient($ServiceURL);
$param = array(
'User' => $login,
'Pass' => $password,
'lcid' => "1033"
);
$result = $client->Login(new SoapParam ($param, "Credentials"));
var_dump($result);
But I have no confidence it is actually right (it doesn't work, so I suppose it isn't).
I am presuming the structure, but confused as to what it should be.

Answer 1

Do you have enabled soap in the php.ini file ?
extension=php_soap.dll remove the ;
and add in your script :
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('soap.wsdl_cache_enabled', '0');
ini_set('soap.wsdl_cache_ttl', '0');
And you need some try catch as well :
try {
$client = new SoapClient("some.wsdl");
$result = $client->SomeFunction(/* ... */);
} catch (SoapFault $fault) {
trigger_error("SOAP Fault: (faultcode: {$fault->faultcode}, faultstring: {$fault->faultstring})", E_USER_ERROR);
}
Check that and maybe you will have some hints :)

It looks like the Login() method takes two parameters: a Credentials structure and an integer. You just need to change things slightly:
$credentials = array('User' => $login, 'Pass' => $password);
$lcid = 1033;
$result = $client->Login($credentials, $lcid);
If that doesn't work, you could also try making $credentials an object:
$credentials = new stdClass();
$credentials->User = $login;
$credentials->Pass = $password;
$lcid = 1033;
$result = $client->Login($credentials, $lcid);
After making the call, it is helpful to inspect the actual call for the XML and make sure the request is proper:
var_dump($client->__getLastRequest());
