Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: length
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap12:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap12="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
<soap12:Body>
<PlaceSearch xmlns="http://www.cyberlogic.gr/webservices/">
<xml>string</xml>
</PlaceSearch>
</soap12:Body>
</soap12:Envelope>
my code is:
$soapUrl = "http://wl.filos.com.gr/services/WebService.asmx?op=PlaceSearch";
$soap_request = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>\n";
$soap_request .= "<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\" xmlns:xsd=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema\" xmlns:soap=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\">\n";
$soap_request .= " <soap:Body>\n";
$soap_request .= " <PlaceSearch xmlns=\"http://www.cyberlogic.gr/webservices/\">\n";
$soap_request .= " <xml><PlaceSearchRequest><Username>******</Username><Password>******</Password><PlaceType>Cities</PlaceType><Language>en</Language></PlaceSearchRequest></xml>\n";
$soap_request .= " </PlaceSearch>\n";
$soap_request .= " </soap:Body>\n";
$soap_request .= "</soap:Envelope>";
$xml_post_string = $soap_request;
$headers = array(
"POST /services/WebService.asmx HTTP/1.1",
"Host: wl.filos.com.gr",
"Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8",
"Content-Length: ".strlen($xml_post_string)
);
$url = $soapUrl;
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, ($xml_post_string) );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
$info = curl_getinfo($ch);
// echo results
echo "The server responded: <br />";
echo " " . $info['http_code']. " <br />";
curl_close($ch);
$response1 = str_replace("<soap12:Body>","",$response);
$response2 = str_replace("</soap12:Body>","",$response1);
$parser = simplexml_load_string($response2);

Answer 1

415 is the HTTP Status Code you obtain from the response of the HTTP request you fire with curl.
These codes are standardized and documented, in your case of 415:
415 Unsupported Media Type
The server is refusing to service the request because the entity of the request is in a format not supported by the requested resource for the requested method.
The entity of the request means the request-body, which is the POST method's request body. In short this means, that the data you've send to the server does not fit it's needs.
You have to fix the data you send to the server first, otherwise all later operations (like loading the response string into simplexml) will fail as well.
Alternatively if you're sure you followed the specs of the webservice correctly, the only thing you can do is proper error handling, that is, if the server returns an error for your request (codes 400 to 499) to not process further the return value but just signal the error condition.

Answer 2

This XML is invalid for webservice you use.
Paste it here: http://wl.filos.com.gr/services/WebService.asmx?op=PlaceSearch and check what is wrong
