Answer 1

Calling webservices is quite easy, if you just want to send a prepared raw xml request. You could for instance use CURL for this.
Here the code which uses the php soapclient. I get "invalid credentials", but this should be ok as you'd put your valid ones in there.
<?
$string ='<ArnRequest><Availability DisplayCurrency="USD" SearchTimeout="15"><HotelAvailability InDate="2007-04-26" OutDate="2007-04-29" Rooms="1" Adults="2" Children="0"><Hotel HotelID="8800"/></HotelAvailability></Availability></ArnRequest>';
$xmlrequest = '<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:hot="http://tripauthority.com/hotel">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<hot:SubmitRequestDoc>
<!--Optional:-->
<hot:siteID>string</hot:siteID>
<!--Optional:-->
<hot:aUserName>string</hot:aUserName>
<!--Optional:-->
<hot:aPassword>string</hot:aPassword>
<!--Optional:-->
<hot:aRequestDoc>
'.$string.'
</hot:aRequestDoc>
</hot:SubmitRequestDoc>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>';
//Change this variables.
$location_URL = 'http://tripauthority.com/hotel.asmx';
$action_URL = "http://tripauthority.com/hotel/SubmitRequestDoc";
$client = new SoapClient(null, array(
'location' => $location_URL,
'uri' => "http://tripauthority.com/hotel",
'trace' => 1,
));
$order_return = $client->__doRequest($xmlrequest,$location_URL,$action_URL,1);
//Get response from here
print_r($order_return);
?>

I have solve my question if any body in future have any problem they this code works for him, please check-
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
define('API_SITEID', $your_siteid);
define('API_USERNAME', $your_uname);
define('API_PASSWORD', $your_pass);
define('API_WSDL', 'http://tripauthority.com/hotel.asmx?WSDL');
ini_set("soap.wsdl_cache_enabled", "0");
$xmlReq = '<ArnRequest>
<Availability DisplayCurrency="USD" SearchTimeout="15">
<HotelAvailability InDate="2014-09-26" OutDate="2014-09-27" Rooms="1" Adults="1" Children="0">
<Hotel HotelID="8800"/>
</HotelAvailability>
</Availability>
</ArnRequest>';
echo '<form action="" method="post">
<strong>XML Request:</strong>

<textarea style="width:100%;height:400px;" id="xmlReq" name="xmlReq">'.$xmlReq.'</textarea>
</p>
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Test Request">
<input type="hidden" name="avail" id="avail" value="y">
</form>';
if($_POST['avail'] == "y") {
$xmlRes = doSoapRequest((($_POST['xmlReq']) ? $_POST['xmlReq'] : $xmlReq));
echo '<strong>XML Response:</strong>
<p>
<textarea style="width:100%;height:400px;" id="xmlRes" name="xmlRes">'.$xmlRes.'</textarea>
</p>';
}
function doSoapRequest($xmlReq) {
try {
$client = new SoapClient(API_WSDL);
return $client->SubmitRequestRpc(API_SITEID, API_USERNAME, API_PASSWORD, $xmlReq);
} catch(SoapFault $exception) {
return "Fault Code: {$exception->getMessage()}";
}
}
?>

php has a built in Soap Client as of 5: http://php.net/manual/en/class.soapclient.php
$wsdl = '
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<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/">
<soap:Body>
<SubmitRequest xmlns="http://tripauthority.com/hotel">
<siteID>string</siteID>
<username>string</username>
<password>string</password>
<xmlFormattedString>string</xmlFormattedString>
</SubmitRequest>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
';
try {
$client = #new SOAPClient($wsdl); // or preferably, use a url for $wsdl
// Be sure to replace soapMethodToUse with a mouthed for this specific web service.
$response = $client->soapMethodToUse(array('key' => 'val')); // Any params for this method
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}
die(var_dump($response));

You may try to modify request with help of __doRequest function.
<?php
require_once("MySoapClient.php");
$client = new MySoapClient($wsdUrl,array(
'location' => "http://tripauthority.com/hotel",
'trace' => 1,
'cache_wsdl' => WSDL_CACHE_NONE
)
);
$parameters=array('siteID'=>'string','username'=>'string','password'=>'string');
$err=0;
try{
$info = $client->__soapCall("SubmitRequest",array($parameters));
}
catch (SoapFault $e) {
echo "<pre>faultcode: '".$e->faultcode."'</pre>";
echo "<pre>faultstring: '".$e->getMessage()."'</pre>";
$err=1;
}
if($err==0)
print_r($info);
else
echo $client->__getLastRequest();
?>
MySoapClient.php
<?php
class MySoapClient extends SoapClient
{
function __doRequest($request, $location, $action, $version, $one_way = 0) {
$request=str_replace('</SubmitRequest>','<xmlFormattedString>string</xmlFormattedString></SubmitRequest>',$request);
return $request;
}
}
?>
