SoapClient connection to SoapServer - php

Question

I need to connect to a SOAP Server from php, I read a lot of documentation, examples and tutorials, but I still cannot make authentication to my server. I have done the work below:
$agencyNumber = 7818619810;
$fullTransmission = false;
//$context = array('header' => 'Content-type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8');
$params = array( 'agencyNumber' => 7818619810, 'fullTransmission' => 0/*,$context*/);
$client = new SoapClient("http://link/to/server?wsdl");
$test = $client->__getFunctions();
var_dump($test );// returns the functions my supplier provides, as well __getTypes() gives a bunch of variable arrays ect..
$response = $client->__soapCall('GetTransmissionTicket',array($params) );//line 16 which is mentioned on error print
var_dump($response);
Even though I set $context, when I try to run, I get the error below:
Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault exception: [HTTP] Cannot process the
message because the content type 'text/xml; charset=utf-8' was not the
expected type 'application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8'. in
C:\xampp\htdocs\xml\inc\connection_test.php:16 Stack trace: #0
[internal function]: SoapClient->__doRequest('http://interfac...', '..//my-provider...', 1, 0) #1
C:..path..test.php(16): SoapClient->__soapCall('GetTransmission...',
Array) #2 {main} thrown in C:..path..test.php on line 16
The remote method I'm trying to call is called GetTransmissionTicket which takes two parameters, (int)agencyNumber and fullTransmission(bool)..
I want to emphasize that there are a lot of threads on this topic, some of which are really close to my question(1, 2, 3 and so on ..), but I really couldn't solve the problem. Please give a hand..
Kind Regards..

Answer 1

Try $params = array( 'agencyNumber' => 7818619810, 'fullTransmission' => false);
instead of $params = array( 'agencyNumber' => 7818619810, 'fullTransmission' => 0);
OR
Use $client = new SoapClient("http://link/to/server?wsdl", array('soap_version' => SOAP_1_1));
because
application/soap+xml is the content-type passed when using SOAP 1.2, text/xml is used with SOAP 1.1,
Reference : how to change content-type of request?

Answer 2

A simple example with soap and php can be
$url="your WSDL url";
$method = "Method you are calling";
$error=0;
$client = new SoapClient($url);
try
{
$info = $client->__call($method, array($param));
}
catch (SoapFault $fault)
{
$error = 1;
errorReport($fault->faultcode,$fault->faultstring);
die;
/*echo '<script type="text/javascript">alert("Sorry,App Returne the following ERROR:'.$fault->faultcode."-".$fault->faultstring.' We will now take you back to our homepage."); window.location = "'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'";</script> '; */
}
if($error==1)
{
$xml=$fault->faultstring;
}else{
$xml = $info;
}
return $xml;
Try implementing it and let me know. if it works for you.

Answer 3

Shouldn't the last line be var_dump($response); instead of var_dump($client);
Anyways, you can also try using this to get the result :
$response = $client->GetTransmissionTicket(array($params) );
var_dump($response);

Answer 4

I resolved this problem by switching from SOAP 1.2 to SOAP 1.1:
$this->client = new SoapClient(
$url,
array(
"trace" => TRUE,
"exception" => 0,
"soap_version" => SOAP_1_1,
"cache_wsdl" => WSDL_CACHE_MEMORY,
"local_cert" => 'mycert.pem',
)
);

I will answer my own question so that it helps someone one day. I used nusoap and changed the encoding to utf-8. The code snippet is below:
require_once "nusoap.php";
$client = new nusoap_client("http://interface.--Serivce-Supplier-Link/Service.svc?wsdl", "wsdl");
$client->soap_defencoding = 'UTF-8';
$result = $client->call("GetTransmissionTicket", array( 'agencyNumber' => 13155, 'fullTransmission' => false));
var_dump($result);
Kind Regards

Answer 6

may be little late but could help others. so here it goes:
$params is already an array so you don't have to use array($params) in
$response = $client->__soapCall('GetTransmissionTicket',array($params) );
instead use simple $params while calling.check it like this
$response = $client->GetTransmissionTicket($params);
also use $client->__getTypes(); to verify params to be passed.
use catch to good effect to trace faultstringand faultactor.
at the end if still not getting solution check it with soapUI(a software).
