read wsdl file using php - php

How we can read a wsdl file in php?
http://www.webservicex.net/stockquote.asmx?wsdl
How we can make a client of this wsdl file?
If any one have any idea about this. Please help me..

You need to use the SoapClient class in PHP.
You start off with something like this:
$client = new SoapClient("http://www.webservicex.net/stockquote.asmx?wsdl");
$result = $client->SomeMethod();
Where SomeMethod is a function defined within the WSDL file.

Call SOAP API using php

I have one WSDL file. file url is given below
http://home.nutselect.nl/services/DossierService.svc?wsdl
I need to get the order details from this wsdl file. but when call this soap WSDL file i got the empty window only.
Any one please help me. How to get the Order details from this soap WSDL file.
try {
$client = new SoapClient('http://home.nutselect.nl/services/DossierService.svc?wsdl');
$response = $client->Request();
print_r($response);
Saravana all you need to do is generate a php class form the wsdl. and when you inherit the class you can probably get the public methods.

consuming web service (for the first time) in php

It took me a while to get soap configured in php. Now I'm just trying to learn about it. I'm using the web service here to learn:
http://www.webservicex.net/WCF/ServiceDetails.aspx?SID=19
It says the WSDL is here:
http://www.webservicex.net/stockquote.asmx?wsdl
and this is my code:
$client = new SoapClient('http://www.webservicex.net/stockquote.asmx?wsdl');
$result = $client->getQuote("AAPL");
echo $result;
I'm getting an error saying "Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string". Now I realize that $result is an object, and I'm wondering how do I access data that the server populated? I tried to understand the WSDL but I'm getting nowhere. Is it supposed to be something like:
$result->price
? (That doesn't work by the way...)
Ideas?
When curious about datatypes from the soapserver, use the SoapClient->__getTypes() & SoapClient->__getFunctions() methods
If you return is still not clear, var_dump() your return and examine it.

Working example Zend_Rest_Controller with Zend_Rest_Client?

I am trying to write a short Rest Service with Zend Framework. But the documentation is not the best at this Part.
I have an ApiController extended Zend_Rest_Controller with all needed abstract methods. My goal is to get Post data and return something.
My client looks like this:
public function indexAction()
{
$url = 'http://localhost/url/public/api';
$client = new Zend_Rest_Client();
$client->setUri($url);
$client->url = 'http://www.google.de';
$result = $client->post();
}
but the provided "$client->url" is not inside the post array on Server side. Does I have to use Zend Rest Server inside the postAction on my ApiController?
If someone has an example how to send and to get the data with Zend Rest, that would be great.
Maybe this tutorial Create RESTful Applications Using The Zend Framework can help.
Have you tried setting it to access 127.0.0.1 rather than localhost? I know this can cause issues sometimes.

Generating WSDL when using PHP's native SOAP class?

I'm using the native SOAP class in PHP 5, having changed from NuSOAP as the native class is faster (and NuSOAP development seems to have ceased). However the PHP 5 SOAP lacks the ability to generate WSDL.
Has anyone experience of generating WSDL in PHP? If so, please recommend your preferred method.
Thanks.
Stuart,
If you or anyone else is looking for a solution to this problem here's what I did.
First get this script: http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/download/zip/package/3509/name/php2wsdl-2009-05-15.zip
Then look at its example files. After that I just sliced it the way I needed because I'm using codeigniter:
function wsdl(){
error_reporting(0);
require_once(APPPATH."/libraries/WSDLCreator.php"); //Path to the library
$test = new WSDLCreator("Webservice", $this->site."/wsdl");
//$test->includeMethodsDocumentation(false);
$test->addFile(APPPATH."/controllers/gds.php");
$test->addURLToClass("GDS", $this->site);
$test->ignoreMethod(array("GDS"=>"GDS"));
$test->ignoreMethod(array("GDS"=>"accessCheck"));
$test->createWSDL();
$test->printWSDL(true); // print with headers
}
That it, your all done.
Btw, I'm using SoapServer and SoapClient in php5+
You can try these options:
- https://code.google.com/p/php-wsdl-creator/ (GPLv3)
- https://github.com/piotrooo/wsdl-creator/ (GPLv3)
- http://www.phpclasses.org/package/3509-PHP-Generate-WSDL-from-PHP-classes-code.html (BSD like)
The first one might be your best option if the licence fits your project.
Generating a WSDL on the fly is not something that happens very often - it would tend to raise a few questions about the stability of your service!
Zend Studio can generate a WSDL from a PHP class, and there are a few other similar tools.
If you do need to generate the WSDL dynamically, take a look at Zend Framework library: Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover
Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover is a good alternative to NuSOAP. But, you can also create the WSDL file from scratch which can be very complicated and error prone. To ease this process, you can use an IDE to generate the WSDL file for your PHP functions and pass it as a parameter to your PHP SoapServer class.

How to easily consume a web service from PHP

Is there available any tool for PHP which can be used to generate code for consuming a web service based on its WSDL? Something comparable to clicking "Add Web Reference" in Visual Studio or the Eclipse plugin which does the same thing for Java.
In PHP 5 you can use SoapClient on the WSDL to call the web service functions. For example:
$client = new SoapClient("some.wsdl");
and $client is now an object which has class methods as defined in some.wsdl. So if there was a method called getTime in the WSDL then you would just call:
$result = $client->getTime();
And the result of that would (obviously) be in the $result variable. You can use the __getFunctions method to return a list of all the available methods.
I've had great success with wsdl2php. It will automatically create wrapper classes for all objects and methods used in your web service.
I have used NuSOAP in the past. I liked it because it is just a set of PHP files that you can include. There is nothing to install on the web server and no config options to change. It has WSDL support as well which is a bonus.
This article explains how you can use PHP SoapClient to call a api web service.
Say you were provided the following:
<x:Envelope xmlns:x="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:int="http://thesite.com/">
<x:Header/>
<x:Body>
<int:authenticateLogin>
<int:LoginId>12345</int:LoginId>
</int:authenticateLogin>
</x:Body>
</x:Envelope>
and
<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<s:Body xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<authenticateLoginResponse xmlns="http://thesite.com/">
<authenticateLoginResult>
<RequestStatus>true</RequestStatus>
<UserName>003p0000006XKX3AAO</UserName>
<BearerToken>Abcdef1234567890</BearerToken>
</authenticateLoginResult>
</authenticateLoginResponse>
</s:Body>
</s:Envelope>
Let's say that accessing http://thesite.com/ said that the WSDL address is:
http://thesite.com/PortalIntegratorService.svc?wsdl
$client = new SoapClient('http://thesite.com/PortalIntegratorService.svc?wsdl');
$result = $client->authenticateLogin(array('LoginId' => 12345));
if (!empty($result->authenticateLoginResult->RequestStatus)
&& !empty($result->authenticateLoginResult->UserName)) {
echo 'The username is: '.$result->authenticateLoginResult->UserName;
}
As you can see, the items specified in the XML are used in the PHP code though the LoginId value can be changed.
Well, those features are specific to a tool that you are using for development in those languages.
You wouldn't have those tools if (for example) you were using notepad to write code. So, maybe you should ask the question for the tool you are using.

HI I got this from this site : http://forums.asp.net/t/887892.aspx?Consume+an+ASP+NET+Web+Service+with+PHP
The web service has method Add which takes two params:
<?php
$client = new SoapClient("http://localhost/csharp/web_service.asmx?wsdl");
print_r( $client->Add(array("a" => "5", "b" =>"2")));
?>
