SOAP API call with PHP - php

Question

I have been working on this for a week now and have trouble executing this code. I want to retrieve data via SOAP and work with it in PHP. My trouble is, that I am having trouble sending the 'RequesterCredentials'.
I will show the XML code so you all can see the information I am trying to send, and then the PHP code I am using.
XML sample code
POST /AuctionService.asmx HTTP/1.1
Host: apiv2.gunbroker.com
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 200
SOAPAction: "GunBrokerAPI_V2/GetItem"
<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:Header>
<RequesterCredentials xmlns="GunBrokerAPI_V2">
<DevKey>devkey</DevKey>
<AppKey>appkey</AppKey>
</RequesterCredentials>
</soap:Header>
<soap:Body>
<GetItem xmlns="GunBrokerAPI_V2">
<GetItemRequest>
<ItemID>312007942</ItemID>
<ItemDetail>Std</ItemDetail>
</GetItemRequest>
</GetItem>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
PHP code that I am using to make the call
$client = new SoapClient("http://apiv2.gunbroker.com/AuctionService.asmx?WSDL");
$appkey = 'XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX';
$devkey = 'XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX';
$header = new SoapHeader('GunBrokerAPI_V2', 'RequesterCredentials', array('DevKey' => $devkey, 'AppKey' => $appkey), 0);
$client->__setSoapHeaders(array($header));
$result = $client->GetItem('312343077');
echo '<pre>', print_r($result, true), '</pre>';
The result I get
stdClass Object
(
[GetItemResult] => stdClass Object
(
[Timestamp] => 2012-11-07T18:17:31.9032903-05:00
[Ack] => Failure
[Errors] => stdClass Object
(
[ShortMessage] => GunBrokerAPI_V2 Error Message : [GetItem]
// You must fill in the 'RequesterCredentialsValue'
// SOAP header for this Web Service method.
[ErrorCode] => 1
)
// The rest if just an array of empty fields that
// I could retrieve if I wasn’t having problems.
I’m not sure if the problem is the way I’m sending the SoapHeaders or if I am misunderstanding the syntax. How can I fix it?

Use an object instead of an associative array for headers:
$obj = new stdClass();
$obj->AppKey = $appkey;
$obj->DevKey = $devkey;
$header = new SoapHeader('GunBrokerAPI_V2', 'RequesterCredentials', $obj, 0);
And the next problem you might face will be at the GetItem call. You also need an object, wrapped in an associative array:
$item = new stdClass;
$item->ItemID = '312343077';
$item->ItemDetail = 'Std';
$result = $client->GetItem(array('GetItemRequest' => $item));
