How to call web service with auth using php - php

Question

I need to make a call to the webservice bellow, but so far failed to create the code for it.
https://www.nightline-delivers.com/ParcelMotel_UAT/RetailService.svc?wsdl
The request needs to look like the following:
<soapenv:Envelope
xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:ret="Retail">
<soapenv:Header>
<UserName>WebServiceSample</UserName>
<Password>password</Password>
</soapenv:Header>
<soapenv:Body>
<ret:ValidateCredentials>
<ret:motelId>BAC032</ret:motelId>
<ret:mobileNumber>0865596800</ret:mobileNumber>
</ret:ValidateCredentials>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
My code so far looks like this:
$client = new SoapClient("https://www.nightline-delivers.com/ParcelMotel_UAT/RetailService.svc?wsdl");
$location = new StdClass();
$location->motelId = 'BAC032';
$location->mobileNumber = '0866696800';
$auth = array(
'UserName'=>'WebServiceSample',
'Password'=>'password',
);
$header = new SoapHeader('NAMESPACE','Auth',$auth,false);
$client->__setSoapHeaders( $header );
try {
$response = $client->ValidateLocation( $location );
var_dump($response);
} catch( Exception $e ) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}

According to this it is impossible in PHP to get a header element without namespace (which is the case in your example) so that is not possible with SoapClient. However you may try to send request where both UserName and Password fields are in the Retail namespace, maybe server will accept this:
<?php
$client = new SoapClient("https://www.nightline-delivers.com/ParcelMotel_UAT/RetailService.svc?wsdl", array('trace' => TRUE));
$location = new StdClass();
$location->motelId = 'BAC032';
$location->mobileNumber = '0866696800';
$auth = array(
'UserName'=>'WebServiceSample',
'Password'=>'password',
);
$headers = array();
foreach($auth as $k=>$v) {
$headers[] = new SoapHeader('Retail', $k, $v);
}
$client->__setSoapHeaders( $headers );
try {
$response = $client->ValidateCredentials( $location );
var_dump($response);
} catch( Exception $e ) {
echo "REQUEST: ".$client->__getLastRequest();
echo $e->getMessage();
}
This code also will show you request if an exception occurs, and I have changed ValidateLocation to ValidateCredentials as in your example message. It produces following message:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="Retail">
<SOAP-ENV:Header>
<ns1:UserName>WebServiceSample</ns1:UserName>
<ns1:Password>password</ns1:Password>
</SOAP-ENV:Header>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns1:ValidateLocation>
<ns1:motelId>BAC032</ns1:motelId>
<ns1:mobileNumber>0866696800</ns1:mobileNumber>
</ns1:ValidateLocation>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

I got it working. Here is the code:
<?php
$username = 'WebServiceSample';
$password = 'password';
function formatXML($xml)
{
libxml_use_internal_errors(true);
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->preserveWhiteSpace = false;
$doc->formatOutput = true;
$doc->loadXML($xml);
return $doc->saveXML();
}
try {
$client = new SoapClient("https://www.nightline-delivers.com/ParcelMotel_UAT/RetailService.svc?wsdl", array(
'trace' => true,
));
$headers = array();
$headers[] = new SoapHeader('Retail', 'UserName', 'WebServiceSample');
$headers[] = new SoapHeader('Retail', 'Password', 'password');
$client->__setSoapHeaders($headers);
$params = array(
'motelId' => 'BAz031',
'mobileNumber' => '0866696800'
);
$result = $client->__soapCall('ValidateLocation', array('ValidateLocation' => $params), array(
'location' => 'https://www.nightline-delivers.com/ParcelMotel_UAT/RetailService.svc/basic?APIKey=7C3A0EA9-C8D6-4DB0-ADF0-615BFD29DC1D'
));
} catch (SoapFault $e) {
exit($e->getMessage());
}
$request = $client->__getLastRequest();
$response = $client->__getLastResponse();
echo '<pre>';
echo htmlspecialchars( formatXML($request) );
echo "\n";
echo htmlspecialchars( formatXML($response) );
