How to define a SoapVar namespace? - php

Question

I need to have this node in my SOAP Request (using 1.1):
<CredentialsHeader xmlns="http://www.url.com/Services/P24ListingService11"
<EMail>ricky#email.net</EMail>
<Password>password</Password>
</CredentialsHeader>
So I have the following PHP:
$client = new SoapClient("https://exdev.www.example.com/Services/example.asmx?WSDL",
array(
"trace" => 1,
"exceptions" => 0,
"cache_wsdl" => 0,
'soap_version' => SOAP_1_1
)
);
$CredentialObject = new SoapVar(array('EMail' => 'ricky#email.net', 'Password' => 'password'), SOAP_ENC_OBJECT);
Which generates:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="http://www.example.com/Services/Example">
<SOAP-ENV:Header>
<ns1:CredentialsHeader>
<EMail>ricky#email.net</EMail>
<Password>password</Password>
</ns1:CredentialsHeader>
</SOAP-ENV:Header>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns1:EchoAuthenticated/>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
All I need to do is prevent it using ns1 and actually define the xmlns in the node like so:
<CredentialsHeader xmlns="http://www.example.com/Services/Example">
<EMail>ricky#email.net</EMail>
<Password>password</Password>
</CredentialsHeader>
I have tested that in Firefox Poster and know for a fact that change fixes the problem.

Answer 1

$CredentialObjectXML = '<CredentialsHeader xmlns="http://www.example.com/Services/Example">
<EMail>'.$UserName.'</EMail>
<Password>'.$Password.'</Password>
</CredentialsHeader>';
$CredentialObject = new SoapVar($CredentialObjectXML,XSD_ANYXML);
This way you can directly use the XML with Type XSD_ANYXML.
Hope this will resolve your problem.

Parameter "node_namespace" is what you've been looking for i guess.

Answer 3

I had the same problem and found out that if you map a dummy class to the credential complex type from your WSDL, PHP will output something like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="http://www.example.com/Services/Example">
<SOAP-ENV:Header>
<ns1:CredentialsHeader>
<ns1:EMail>ricky#email.net</ns1:EMail>
<ns1:Password>password</ns1:Password>
</ns1:CredentialsHeader>
</SOAP-ENV:Header>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns1:EchoAuthenticated/>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
This is not exactly what was requested but although more verbose, it is equivalent.
The code goes like this:
$client = new SoapClient("https://exdev.www.example.com/Services/example.asmx?WSDL",
array(
"trace" => 1,
"exceptions" => 0,
"cache_wsdl" => 0,
"soap_version" => SOAP_1_1,
"classmap" => array(
'credential_complex_type' => 'CredentialObject',
),
)
);
class CredentialObject {}
$credentialObject = new CredentialObject();
$credentialObject->Email = 'ricky#email.net';
$credentialObject->Password = 'password';
