I'm having some problem with WSDL. When I try to retrieve the data using Soap Client, the function doesn't show all the parameters defined by service. The interesting part is that, if I'll try to access the service script directly - it will display the correct array, with enough parameters.
What might be the problem? As for cashing, I've tried the following, but without any luck:
ini_set("soap.wsdl_cache_enabled", "0");
$client = new SoapClient("crm.wsdl", array('cache_wsdl' => WSDL_CACHE_NONE)) or die('error');

I’m trying to invoke a WCF service (.NET) from PHP. It’s a little more complicated than just using a SoapClient since the service uses a WS2007FederationHttpBinding to authenticate.
Here’s the code I’m using at the moment. I haven’t even added credentials as I’m not sure how, but regardless, I’m not even at the point where I’m getting access denied errors.
$wsdl = "https://slc.centershift.com/sandbox40/StoreService.svc?wsdl";
$client = new SoapClient($wsdl,array(
//'soap_version'=>SOAP_1_2 // default 1.1, but this gives 'Uncaught SoapFault exception: [HTTP] Error Fetching http headers'
));
$params = array();
$params['SiteID'] = 123;
$params['GetPromoData'] = false;
$ret = $client->GetSiteUnitData(array('GetSiteUnitData_Request'=>$params));
print_r($ret);
Which WSDL should I be pointing to?
https://slc.centershift.com/Sandbox40/StoreService.svc?wsdl
Seems to be very short, but includes a reference to (note the wsdl0) https://slc.centershift.com/Sandbox40/StoreService.svc?wsdl=wsdl0
https://slc.centershift.com/Sandbox40/StoreService.svc?singleWsdl
Seems to have everything in it.
Do I need to specify SOAP 1.2? When I do, I get a connection timeout ([HTTP] Error Fetching http headers). When I don’t, the default of SOAP 1.1 is used and I get a [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'. Is this because I’m not authenticated yet, or because I’m using the wrong SOAP version?
How to authenticate in PHP? Here’s the corresponding .NET/C# code. Do I need to somehow put these as SOAP headers? Or am I thinking about it all wrong, and I need to do some kind of authentication before I even call the method (from what I read, I’m supposed to get a token back and then use it for all future method calls – I think I see an example of this in an answer here on Stack Overflow.
If I call $client->__getFunctions(), using either WSDL and either SOAP version, I’m getting a valid list of all functions, so I assume either of these is fine and my real issue is the authentication.
Other programmers I’ve talked to had spent time trying to get this to work, but gave up and instead implemented a proxy in .NET. They pass their parameters from PHP to their own unsecured .NET service, which in turn calls this secure service. It works, but seems crazily inefficient to me, and counter-productive, as the purpose of WCF is to support all types of clients (even non-HTTP ones!).
I’ve read How to: Create a WSFederationHttpBinding on MSDN, but it didn’t help.
You can use this URL for WSDL https://slc.centershift.com/Sandbox40/StoreService.svc?singleWsdl. This WSDL has all definitions.
You have to use 1.2 because this webservice works with SOAP 1.2 version. I tried it with 1.1 and 1.2 and both of them gived error. 1.1 is version error, 1.2 is timeout error. I think there is an error at this test server. I used it with svcutil to generate code but it gived error too. Normaly it should get information and generate the code example to call service.
Normally you can add authenticate parameters with SoapHeader or directly add to options in SoapClient consruct (if service authentication is basic authentication). I write below code according to your screenshot. But it gives timeout after long wait.
$wsdl = "https://slc.centershift.com/sandbox40/StoreService.svc?wsdl";
$client = new SoapClient($wsdl,array('trace' => 1,'soap_version' => SOAP_1_2));
$security = array(
'UserName' => array(
'UserName'=>'TestUser',
'Password'=>'TestPassword',
'SupportInteractive'=>false
)
);
$header = new SoapHeader('ChannelFactory','Credentials',$security, false);
$client->__setSoapHeaders($header);
$params = array();
$params['SiteID'] = 100000000;
$params['Channel'] = 999;
try {
$ret = $client->GetSiteUnitData($params);
print_r($ret);
}catch(Exception $e){
echo $e->getMessage();
}
__getFunctions works, because it prints functions defined in WSDL. There is no problem with getting WSDL information at first call. But real problem is communication. PHP gets WSDL, generates required SOAP request then sends to server, but server is not responding correctly. SOAP server always gives a response even if parameters or request body are not correct.
You should communicate with service provider, I think they can give clear answer to your questions.
Having worked with consuming .NET WS from PHP before I believe you would need to create objects from classes in PHP that matches the names that .NET is expecting. The WSDL should tell you the types it is expecting. I hope this assist with your path forward!
If the SOAP call works from a C# application, you could use Wireshark (with the filter ip.dst == 204.246.130.80) to view the actual request being made and then construct a similar request from php.
Check this answer to see how you can do a custom SOAP call.
There's also the option of doing raw curl requests, since it might be easier to build your xml body, but then you would have to parse the response yourself with simplexml.
I have found this piece of PHP code:
<?php
$client = new SoapClient("http://localhost/code/soap.wsdl");
// Soap call with HelloWorld() method
$something = $client->HelloWorld(array('option1' => 'attribute1'));
// Convert object to array
$array = (array)$something;
I just want to know where soap.wsdl resides or from where we can download soap.wsdl file for PHP.
The location of the WSDL-file is going to depend on the SOAP API you're calling. Check their documentation.
The example code you provided of implies they're working locally, and you're hosting the WSDL on your own, local machine.
Research Edit
Apparently you can use the PHP soap client in non-WSDL mode. This is accomplished by passing in null as the param instead of the location of the wsdl file.
Also relevant, is this other SO result on non-WSDL mode
I'm a newbie at CI, and I want to retrieve XML data from web services WebLogic, the server that is located at: http://services.insw.go.id/web-services/nsw?operation.invoke=getListGA . I want to to get the XML response from the server. How should I do this?
I made this function on controllers (resttest.php)
public function getRest()
{
$this->rest->initialize(array('server' => 'http://services.insw.go.id'));
$lartas = $this->rest->get('web-services/nsw',array('operation.invoke' => 'getListGA'),'xml');
die(var_dump($lartas));
}
Sometimes I get an error like "array(0) { }" and if I refresh, I get all HTML view, the same as when I browse to: http://services.insw.go.id/web-services/nsw?operation.invoke=getListGA
Am I wrong, or missing some step, or do you have any suggestion about how to change this code?
It looks as if your webservice is using SOAP (simple object access protocol). This is not REST. You'll want to use PHP's built in Soap extension with the SoapClient class. This way it's easy to post a XML "request" to that page which will return xml results rather than a html view (I assume).
Check Soap the soap extension is loaded on your server
Read about the SoapClient http://php.net/manual/en/class.soapclient.php
See if that webservice offers a WSDL (web service description language) file.
Create an instance of a soap client, using the wsdl and call the function you require.
Simple example from PHP.net
$client = new SoapClient("http://localhost/code/soap.wsdl");
$something = $client->HelloWorld(array());
echo $something->HelloWorldResult;
To get a xml response, you do not need Codeigniter. Specifically it provide WSDL. At http://services.insw.go.id/web-services/nsw you can find the example as
String wsdlUrl = "http://services.insw.go.id:80/web-services/nsw?WSDL";
So the WSDL API would be http://services.insw.go.id:80/web-services/nsw?WSDL
Then you can check this page to see how to install soap for your php.
Then you can get a xml response by the following code:
$client = new SoapClient('http://services.insw.go.id:80/web-services/nsw?WSDL');
//var_dump($client->__getFunctions());
$response = $client->getListGA();
echo $response;
these code do not need Codeigniter.
Note: $client->__getFunctions() will show you all functions that the WSDL support and the parameters the functions need.
Good luck
I'm an experienced PHP programmer but I have actually no clue about SOAP. Now I must use it because my customer needs an automatic generating of DHL batch labels. I need some simple and effective help.
So I send a raw XML request to DHL, I have copied the message from their sample programm but I get always an empty result (no error). My PHP code goes like:
require_once('nusoap/lib/nusoap.php');
$endpoint = "https://test-intraship.dhl.com/intraship.57/jsp/Login_WS.jsp";
$client = new nusoap_client($endpoint, false);
$msg = $client->serializeEnvelope("
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap=\"http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope\"
xmlns:cis=\"http://dhl.de/webservice/cisbase\" xmlns:de=\"http://de.ws.intraship\">
<soap:Header>
<cis:Authentification><cis:user>bzalewski</cis:user>
(...)
");
$result=$client->send($msg, $endpoint);
echo $result;
As said, the message is just copied so it must be OK.
I tried alternatively with another endpoint: http://test-intraship.dhl.com/ws/1_0/ISService/DE.wsdl, but also no result (no error).
Please help.
When using soap_client you do not need to pass raw XML. Instead you look at the WSDL and decide which web service function you want to call, and what parameters it needs. Then you create a soap client object, by passing the wsdl url and whether you want tracing or not (it helps to debug and stuff). Then use this soap client object to call whichever web service function you want to call. If there are parameters needed for the function call, pass them as an array. I have posted a sample code below which uses the WSDL you provided and calls its getVersion function. Note that this function does not need arguments so I am not passing anything. Hope this helps you get started..
<?
$client = new SoapClient('http://test-intraship.dhl.com/ws/1_0/ISService/DE.wsdl', array('trace' => 1));
$res = $client->getVersion();
print_r($res);
?>
This returns following value from the DHL web service:
stdClass Object
(
[Version] => stdClass Object
(
[majorRelease] => 1
[minorRelease] => 0
[build] => 14
)
)
Does the web server respond with a status 200? You said you get an empty response right?
Use this free GUI tool (http://webservicestudio.codeplex.com/) to make webservice call and visualize. You can easily load up the WSDL and start making calls.
By the way working 2 jobs and study is good stuff man! Keep it up.
Hello I'm having problems sending arrays, structs and arrays of structs from PHP to an ASP.NET SOAP server...
Anyone have a sollution for this? I've googled for days and any sollution worked for me. Perphaps I'm forgetting something...
There are examples of my code:
$client = new SoapClient($options);
$pCriteria = new stdClass();
$pCriteria->type=1;
$pCriteria->capacity=4;
//Test 1 (fail):
$resp = $client->GetRooms(array("pCriteria"=>$pCriteria));
//Test 2 (fail):
$resp = $client->GetRooms(array("pCriteria"=>new SoapVar($pCriteria, SOAP_ENC_OBJECT, "TCriteria", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema")));
print_r($resp);
I don't know how to code functions that require an array of TCriteria (TCriteria[], TCriteria_Array type) either... i've tried sending the raw array, a SoapVar with SOAP_ENC_ARRAY encoding and TCriteria_Array type, ... but it does not work (the SOAP server becomes unavaiable and needs to be restarted).
I've tried creating classes for the complex types too, instead of stdClass, but not working.
I don't know where's the problem. The server admins cannot help me and I haven't found any sollution over internet. I'm a bit desperate hehe.
Can you help me please? Can you provide samples of code with the three cases (array of simple data, array of struct and struct) ? Thanks!
I had a similar situation with a PHP Soap Client communicating with a .NET Soap Server using WSDL 2.0. Here's one thing I discovered: When passing the information to the server, you must explicitly define the variable as a SoapVar object. So in your example above, change it to:
$pCriteria->type = new SoapVar(1, XSD_INT, 'xsd:int');
Passing an array is similar, essentialy you pass an array of SoapVars:
$pCriteria->type = array(new SoapVar(1, XSD_INT, 'xsd:int'), new SoapVar(2, XSD_INT, 'xsd:int', new SoapVar(3, XSD_INT, 'xsd:int'));`enter code here`
Also, you can use several built-in functions of the SoapClient to get some additional feedback on possible errors.
$client->__getLastRequest() //To display the XML that you sent to the server
$client->__getLastResponse() //to display the XML that is sent in response to your request
If you can get a copy of the expected WSDL format you can use the response from the above commands to determine what is going wrong. Usually you can access this from the URL that you pass to the SoapClient. So, for example, if the WSDL services URL is http://example.com/webservices/wvrgroupservice.asmx?WSDL, enter http://example.com/webservices/wvrgroupservice.asmx to view the functions and expected XML from that server.
