PHP / SOAP / WSDL questions - php

I'm writing a SOAP API in PHP and I've run into a small problem. The API uses a functions file which contains a function called "GetChallenges()". I'd like my API to have a method with the same name, but since I'm including the functions file, it causes an error saying that I can't redefine that function. I'd really rather not rename the function in the functions file since i'd have to go all through my existing code and change the references. Is there a way to have the name of the function in PHP be something like"GetChallengesApi()" and yet have SOAP be able to run it as just GetChallenges()?

Using External Function in NuSOAP with PHP

I am new to code with NuSOAP lib. Currently, I've just accomplished connected client with server and get service.
Right now, my service or function is on the same php file as soap server. I register my function that on the same page using this code :
$server->register("myFunction");
how can I register a function if I have external php file that consist my function that I needed ?
first, you need to include your php file in your code, and before, register the method or function.
Be sure if your function need to parameters or has a return. In that case, you must inscribe your parametes and return statements using the method register of the webservice.

Find double defined functions in PHP

I work in a php project with multiple independent developers and recently we had case where a function getmicrotime() was twice defined.
all worked fine, because they were defined in different files that were not both included in a single call ... until some refactory.
in the standardcase php would just output a fatal error, but here the output was blocked. (because a thirdparty website called a website ...) so we did not get the output, just the information that nothing worked anymore.
To the point:
Is there any method, external script, etc to check if functions with the same name are defined twice in the project?
i thought about reg. expr search, but ofcourse class methods can have the same name like a::meth1 and b:meth1 .... so its not that easy.
i am talking about a project with ~100.000 lines of ugly code ... so manual checking is not possible
Thanks in advance.
Consider static code analysis. I would suggest Sonar + PHP plugin: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/SONAR/PHP+Plugin
Here is the life example how it works:

You can always write a simple script (i.e. perl or python) which will find all duplicates. The algorithm would be simple...

php SoapClient, __soapCall and __getLastRequest / __getLastResponse

I used a downloaded tool to auto-create a wrapper for a web service (fedex rate service) as it creates a really handy code base for accessing the service that auto-generates a class map and builds an auto-loading data structure by asking the web service itself for it's requirements and capabilities. It creates this wrapper as an 'extend' of SoapClient itself.
The only problem is, that it makes the separate service calls using an abstract wrapper that utilizes the __soapCall method. The problem that I've noticed with this is that it apparently doesn't populate anything where you can retrieve the XML from the calls themselves. Whenever I call __getLastRequest or __getLastResponse, they just return null even though __soapCall('getRates', $args) returns a php object response from the service.
Short of my re-writing the auto-generated code to call $this->getRates($args) or something similar, is there any trick to seeing the XML used in the request and returned in the response when using __soapCall ?
Nevermind - I thought I had trace defaulted to true, and the reason i was getting back 'null' was that it was defaulting to false.
As long as I create the interface instance with the second argument array('trace'=>1) I'm getting the XML now.

PHP Function Scope Failure

I am struggling to understand scope and what's preventing my new code from working (assuming it is a scope issue).
The following function is in a file PATH.'/includes/custom-functions.php' that references a class:
function infusion() {
require_once(PATH.'/classes/infusion.php'); //PATH is defined in WordPress from ~/wp-content/themes/theme/
return new infusion();
}
The class is reliant on PATH.'/api/isdk.php' and connection credentials from another file within /api/ directory. From within PATH .'/includes/custom-functions.php', I have many other functions that call $infusion = infusion(); and work perfectly.
PROBLEM
I have created a new file: PATH.'/includes/report.php' which I need to access $infusion = infusion();but can't get to work by either repeating the function infusion() definition from above; using require_once();; or using include();. All 3 of those options simply kill the rest of the code and I can only come to the conclusion - well, I have no conclusion.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm assuming the code isn't using namespaces, therefore you aren't permitted to redeclare the infusion function (either by redefining the function, or re-including the class).
Your includes/report.php file should simply have:
require_once PATH.'/includes/custom-functions.php';
// your other code here ...
$infusion = infusion();
It may be the case that other files / classes that you're including in your file are already requiring custom-functions.php along the line, so you may be able to skip that entirely. Also note that the PATH constant should have already been defined somewhere (either directly or via an included file) before you attempt to use it. If you set your error_reporting to include E_ALL, you'll get a notification in your error log if that constant doesn't exist.
If that fails, your error log(s) may provide some additional background on what your issue is.

Using Kohana in File outside Kohana

Here's the situation:
I have a catch-all on my domain email (so *#domain.com) redirecting to a piping script located at /home/domain/scripts/piper.php. This piper script is not within the Kohana ORM, but all of my other files are. I want to try to use Kohana inside this piper.php file.
I have tried (unsuccessfully) all of the following:
Including Kohana
I couldn't figure out what needed to be included, and more importantly how to override the url variable that Kohana uses to determine the right controller. Also, this is a catch-all piper, so it isn't using HTTP (to my knowledge), so much as executing a command.
Piping
I tried piping to the following:
/home/domain/public_html/index.php --uri="piper"
But cPanel makes this impossible, as you can only specify the destination script, and not the proper flags and such (unless I am missing something).
PHP exec()
I tried using the following line:
exec("php /home/domain/public_html/index.php --uri=\"/piper\"")
I was hoping that the stdin data would be maintained across the exec() command, but I could never get it to recognize the uri command, though I can run this on my localhost and it works just fine.
I was using http://www.coderelic.com/2011/10/creating-cron-jobs-in-kohana-3-x-is-a-piece-of-cake/ as a reference, but can't get anything to work.
I'm happy with either one of these solutions such that I can see an incoming email, parse it, then send emails based on the parameters.
Let me know if you need more information! I'm le stumped.
/home/domain/public_html/index.php --uri="piper" would be a valid way to do it. If your host sucks and doesn't let you specify that, put it into a bash script instead and reference that.
If you are on any recent version of kohana (3.2 or 3.3), a better way to do this would be to use Minion to run the command line task. This is what Minion was designed for.
All you need to do is to:
modify your piper.php script to be a valid PHP class;
place it in /application/classes/ folder;
Kohana will automatically load your class file (like include) during initialization.
Then you can use your piper class as usual class by $piper = new Piper; ....
UPD
You have to serve your emails trough Kohana.
Create controller, for example pipe (route it with /pipe URL):
public function action_pipe() {
$pipe = new Pipe; // This creates new Pipe object (your emails serving class)
$pipe->serve(); // Sserve emails within `serve()` method of Pipe class
}
Although admittedly, I'm not sure if these other answers are correct because I can't figure out how to reproduce the results.
What ended up working for my situation was to create a Controller_Piper class that is called in the /home/domain/scripts/piper.php. What I did was to copy the code from /home/domain/public_html/index.php and changed the following:
echo Request::factory("/piper")
->execute()
->send_headers(TRUE)
->body();
This loads the piper controller and executes everything very nicely. Not sure if it's the cleanest, but it does work.
