Converting SOAP request from XML to PHP - php

Question

I am getting desperate here, I am trying to convert an XML SOAP request which works in SoapUI to PHP. I went through so much documentation online and still cannot get to creating a correct request from within PHP. I tried using the SOAP class provided in PHP together SoapVars, SoapParams and SoapHeaders. This is the request I need to send (in XML form):
<soapenv:Envelope
xmlns:soapenv='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'
xmlns:soapenc='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/'
xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema'
xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'
xmlns:wsa='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/03/addressing'
xmlns:gen='http://www.polaris-uk.co.uk/GenericSchema/1_1/GenericTypes'
xmlns:Detail='http://www.polaris-uk.co.uk/GenericSchema/2/PEMFault'
xsi:SchemaLocation='http://www.polaris-uk.co.uk/GenericSchema/2/PEMFault http://ppw.imarket.co.uk/Polaris/Schema/PEMFault.xsd'>
<soapenv:Header>
<wsse:Security
xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis- 200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd"
soapenv:mustUnderstand="1"
soapenv:actor="http://www.imarket.co.uk/soap/actor">
<wsse:UsernameToken>
<wsse:Username>XXXXXXXXXX</wsse:Username>
<wsse:Password Type="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-ns2curity-secext-1.0.xsd#PasswordText">XXXXXXXXXX</wsse:Password>
</wsse:UsernameToken>
</wsse:Security>
</soapenv:Header>
<soapenv:Body>
<ConfirmImarketUserIDReq xmlns="http://www.polaris-uk.co.uk/Schema/1_1/ConfirmImarketUserIDReq">
<ns1:UserID xmlns:ns1="http://www.polaris-uk.co.uk/GenericSchema/1_1/GenericTypes">XXXXXXXXXX</ns1:UserID>
<ns2:Password xmlns:ns2="http://www.polaris-uk.co.uk/GenericSchema/1_1/GenericTypes">XXXXXXXXXX</ns2:Password>
</ConfirmImarketUserIDReq>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
I will not post any code I did until now because it is just a mess since I tried writing bits and pieces without actually putting them together at one point and it will just spam this whole post.
Please, if anyone could help with converting this into a PHP code it will be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

After headaches over this, I finally found a working solution, might not be the best but it works by providing Raw XML to the SOAP call:
$wsdl = "XXXX.wsdl";
$client = new SoapClient($wsdl, array( 'soap_version' => SOAP_1_1,'trace' => true,));
//=========== Header Settings ============\\
//Namespace of the Web Service
$namespace = 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/';
$headerXML = <<<XML
<wsse:Security
xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd"
SOAP-ENV:mustUnderstand="1" SOAP-ENV:actor="http://www.imarket.co.uk/soap/actor">
<wsse:UsernameToken>
<wsse:Username>XXXXXX</wsse:Username>
<wsse:Password Type="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-ns2curity-secext-1.0.xsd#PasswordText">XXXXXX</wsse:Password>
</wsse:UsernameToken>
</wsse:Security>
XML;
$headerObj = new SoapVar($headerXML, XSD_ANYXML, null, null, null);
$header = new SoapHeader($namespace , 'SessionHeader', $headerObj);
// More than one header can be provided in this array.
$client->__setSoapHeaders(array($header));
//============== Request ================\\
$xml = <<<XML
<ConfirmImarketUserIDReq xmlns="http://www.polaris-uk.co.uk/Schema/1_1/ConfirmImarketUserIDReq">
<ns1:UserID xmlns:ns1="http://www.polaris-uk.co.uk/GenericSchema/1_1/GenericTypes">XXXXXX</ns1:UserID>
<ns2:Password xmlns:ns2="http://www.polaris-uk.co.uk/GenericSchema/1_1/GenericTypes">XXXXXX</ns2:Password>
</ConfirmImarketUserIDReq>
XML;
$args = array(new SoapVar($xml, XSD_ANYXML));
try {
$response = $client->__soapCall( 'ConfirmImarketUserIDOp', $args);
var_dump($response);
}
catch (SoapFault $e) {
trigger_error("SOAP Fault: (faultcode: {$e->faultcode}, faultstring: {$e->faultstring})", E_USER_ERROR);
}
Hope this helps anyone,
Cheers!
