I am trying to receive a SOAP packet using PHP's SoapServer object. I have success with the basic setup of having the request handled by SoapServer, as such:
$server = new SoapServer(null, array('uri' => 'http://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].'/lead'));
$server->addFunction('lead');
$server->handle();
which calls the appropriate function and passes in an stdObject representing the XML passed in the HTTP request. My problem is that there is data being passed as an XML attribute which is not conveyed in the object generated by SoapServer:
<Lead LeadID="6">
How can I retrieve the value of the LeadID attribute?

I am using soapclient and it returns the result as an object. However I want to now inject the soap xml response as there is an issue with the how I parse the objects. How can I inject my soap xml without the soapclient fetching it from the the server? The soap xml response is stored in a file.
I'm working with a SOAP API, and they've disabled the WSDL document that's normally located in the base .asmx URL for SOAP APIs. The page is instead a 404 page when viewed without an XML request. Right now, simply instantiating a SoapClient fails ($soap = new SoapClient($url);, the error is Premature end of data in tag html line 1). I'm assuming here that a new instance of SoapClient tries to retrieve the WSDL from the server. Is there a way of turning this off? Of saying 'I want to use SoapClient, but don't do any calls until I tell you the XML call that you'll be using (along with all required data)'?
EDIT: I've tried setting cache_wsdl to WSDL_CACHE_NONE but I still get that error.
You have to run SoapClient in non-wsdl mode therefore you must set the wsdl parameter of the SoapClient c'tor to null
public SoapClient::SoapClient ( mixed $wsdl [, array $options ] )
Initialize it the following way
$client = new SoapClient(null, array('location' => http://your_domain/your_webservice",
'uri' => "http://namespace_of_the_webservice/"));
location...The location of the webservice
uri...The namespace of the target webservice
I need to query a WCF service in PHP, so that it can return an XML object back to me.
Previously I was able to do this using the http request and post method
$url = 'http://localhost:49000/';
//create the httprequest object
$httpRequest_OBJ = new httpRequest($url, HTTP_METH_POST, $options);
Using Soap. I can make a connection doing this:
// Create a new soap client based on the service's metadata (WSDL)
$client = new SoapClient("http://localhost:8731/FileUploadService?wsdl");
But how can I pass the XML object into the soap client and return a XML object.
If you really want to send a string containing the XML, you could use
$client->YourSoapMethodCall( new SoapVar($xmlString, XSD_ANYXML) ).
But it would be more convenient to feed parameters with an array or objects (which I use).

Is it possible to input raw SOAP web service response ( read from file ) to the PHP SoapClient as string and get response object mapped in classmap?
Basicly same thing like usually SoapClient would be used, except I have response XML already.
Maybe you can create a local SOAP Server in PHP and call a method on it with your SOAP client. Then, you make the server method return your SOAP string by constructing it from objects, the proper way, or by using the quick and dirty approach: https://stackoverflow.com/a/8749213/1174378 which allows you to alter the contents of the SOAP message before sending it to the client.
I received a manual to internal SOAP interface of my partner. It says:
MyPARTNER web services are provided in the form of a SOAP interface. The service is available in this URL: https://justsomeurl.com:435/soap
then some bla bla about authorization etc. and then a part about Accessible Methods:
pull()
The PULL method is used for pulling data from the database. The method
receives a unique data based parameter under an internal name
requestXML. This parameter contains data in a structured XML format.
String pull(String requestXML)
The XML contains data required to make the request, and the response
data is sent back.
then some other methods, error codes, it's not important here...
The problem is that I'm totally unexperienced in SOAP so I don't know how to use this interface via PHP. I've tried to find some examples, tutorials and I am now little bit more informed about SOAP and its functionality but still haven't found any advice about how to use interface like this...
thanx for any help
Php comes with PHP SOAP libraries, that usually are included and enabled after a common php installation.
Yuo are asked to biuld the client part of the webservice pattern. Your partner should provide you the .wsdl of the web service. The wsdl describes the avialble method, the parameters they need and what they return.
Tipically parameters and return values are array structures
This could be a skeleton for your code:
//build a client for the service
$client = new SoapClient("partner.wsdl");
//$client is now a sort of object where you can call functions
//prepare the xml parameter
$requestXML = array("parameter" => "<xml>Hello</xml>");
//call the pull function this is like
$result = $client->__soapCall("pull", $requestXML );
//print the value returned by the web service
print_r($result);
Here follows a non-wsdl example
First the location paramater is the address the SOAP request will be sent to.
The uri parameter is the target namespace of the SOAP service. This is related to xml namespaces.
A sample code for you could be:
//for URI specification you should watch your partners documentation. maybe also a fake uri (like mine) could work
//build a client for the service
$client = new SoapClient(null, array(
'location' =>
"https://justsomeurl.com:435/soap",
'uri' => "urn:WebServices",
'trace' => 1 ));
// Once built a non-wsdl web service works as a wsdl one
//$client is now a sort of object where you can call functions
//prepare the xml parameter
$requestXML = array("parameter" => "<xml>Hello</xml>");
//call the pull function this is like
$result = $client->__soapCall("pull", $requestXML );
//print the value returned by the web service
print_r($result);
