I am calling a API method through cURL and I got this response:

I want to access|parse that result in a easy way and I don't know if I should deserializing the XML or just try to read it using some PHP native XML function. So ideas on this first doubt?
If it is better to deserialize the XML then I have read this post "Deserializing XML with JMSSerializerBundle in Symfony2" and is not clear at all for me if I will need an entity to achieve that. Also this other topic
and still confuse to me. Any advice on that? Experiences? Suggestions?
It depends on your intention. If you want to directly push part or all of the XML to an entity/document object for saving to a database then the JMSSerializerBundle can do this very smartly and is definitely the best way to do it.
If however you just want to extract one or two fields from the xml and use them in other business logic then simply loading the xml into a SimpleXML object is often simpler.
You can use any object (not only an entity) to deserialize the XML file to. It is recommended to deserialize to a object because you probably want to use it in an OOP way.
This is a well explained blog about JMS serializer (bundle) including a XML deserialization example in a user object: http://johnkary.net/blog/deserializing-xml-with-jms-serializer-bundle/

I am trying to parse this complex SOAP response:
But I get lost with the namespaces and children methods...any idea how to extract the highlighted data?
I tried this:
$xml->children( $ns['S'] )->Body->children( $ns['ns7'] )->Answer->children( $ns['ns3'] );
but it doesn't work
You should use a WSDL to PHP generator which will ease you the request construction and response handling. Indeed, you'll handle PHP object with getters/setters which is better in my point of view.
I can only suggest you to try the PackageGenerator project.
I'm trying to serialize and unserialize a quite long object -- 250KB compressed -- via session but it's not working.
I've done two tests. The first one consisted on directly serialize and unserialize the object more than once for checking if the problem was the serialization per se but everything ran ok. The second one consisted on writing the serialized object into a file and that worked fine too.
Unfortunately it would be insane to post here or elsewhere all the code itself.
Has anyone dealed with a problem like that or suggest any other test to be done?
have you make a instance of unserialize first?
eg
$a = new A;
if($_SESSION['my_a']) {
$a = unserialize($_SESSION['my_a']);
}
Go into php.ini at: ...\apache\Apache2.4.4\bin
change: upload_max_filesize
The problem was classes with no support to serialization like Zend_Db_Table and Zend_Db_Adapter_Abstract subclasses.
When serializing objects it's needed to go as deep as possible to map every object dependency and treat them and I ended up by giving up serialize what motivated me to post the question in first place.
Thank everyone who tried helping me on this.
I'm currently dealing with an archaic payment processor that makes connecting to their service as hard as possible (including a custom client SSL cert, with a password, plus basic HTTP Auth after that). Long story short, I can't use SoapClient to make the request, but I have been able to do it with cURL.
I now have the response in a string, can I use SoapClient to parse it? I'd rather not have to parse it manually as a regular XML, since I'd have to duplicate a lot of functionality, like throwing a sensible exception when finding a <SOAP:Fault>, for example.
No, you can't.
(just answering this for posterity. Based on the lack of evidence to the contrary, you apparently can't use SoapClient to parse a SOAP response you already have)
You can define context using context option of SoapClient to tell SoapClient to use SSL certificates etc. Context may be created using stream_context_create with lots of options
Let's for a second imagine you had called SoapClient::__doRequest() and it returned your XML SOAP response into a variable called $response.
<?php
//LOAD RESPONSE INTO SIMPLEXML
$xml = simplexml_load_string($response);
//REGISTER NAMESPACES
$xml->registerXPathNamespace('soap-env', 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/');
$xml->registerXPathNamespace('somenamespace', 'http://www.somenamespace/schema/');
//...REGISTER OTHER NAMESPACES HERE...
//LOOP THROUGH AND GRAB DATA FROM A NAMESPACE
foreach($xml->xpath('//somenamespace:MessageHeader') as $header)
{
echo($header->xpath('//somenamespace:MyData'));
}
//...ETC...
?>
That is just some example/pseudo code (not tested and won't work as-is). My point is that you manually acquired the SOAP response so now all you have to do is parse it. SimpleXML is one solution you could use to do that.

How can i update it?
Look into CakePHP's "XML" class. In versions prior to 2.0, you have to "App::import('Xml')" the XML class but in 2.0 it is a core library.
With the XML class, you can render the XML as an array, manipulate it the way you want, and simply re-transform it into an XML string.
Check out these links:
CakePHP 1.3 XML : http://book.cakephp.org/view/1473/XML
CakePHP 2.0 XML : http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-utility-libraries/xml.html?highlight=xml
I'm using the native SOAP class in PHP 5, having changed from NuSOAP as the native class is faster (and NuSOAP development seems to have ceased). However the PHP 5 SOAP lacks the ability to generate WSDL.
Has anyone experience of generating WSDL in PHP? If so, please recommend your preferred method.
Thanks.
Stuart,
If you or anyone else is looking for a solution to this problem here's what I did.
First get this script: http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/download/zip/package/3509/name/php2wsdl-2009-05-15.zip
Then look at its example files. After that I just sliced it the way I needed because I'm using codeigniter:
function wsdl(){
error_reporting(0);
require_once(APPPATH."/libraries/WSDLCreator.php"); //Path to the library
$test = new WSDLCreator("Webservice", $this->site."/wsdl");
//$test->includeMethodsDocumentation(false);
$test->addFile(APPPATH."/controllers/gds.php");
$test->addURLToClass("GDS", $this->site);
$test->ignoreMethod(array("GDS"=>"GDS"));
$test->ignoreMethod(array("GDS"=>"accessCheck"));
$test->createWSDL();
$test->printWSDL(true); // print with headers
}
That it, your all done.
Btw, I'm using SoapServer and SoapClient in php5+
You can try these options:
- https://code.google.com/p/php-wsdl-creator/ (GPLv3)
- https://github.com/piotrooo/wsdl-creator/ (GPLv3)
- http://www.phpclasses.org/package/3509-PHP-Generate-WSDL-from-PHP-classes-code.html (BSD like)
The first one might be your best option if the licence fits your project.
Generating a WSDL on the fly is not something that happens very often - it would tend to raise a few questions about the stability of your service!
Zend Studio can generate a WSDL from a PHP class, and there are a few other similar tools.
If you do need to generate the WSDL dynamically, take a look at Zend Framework library: Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover
Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover is a good alternative to NuSOAP. But, you can also create the WSDL file from scratch which can be very complicated and error prone. To ease this process, you can use an IDE to generate the WSDL file for your PHP functions and pass it as a parameter to your PHP SoapServer class.
