How To Generating Required SOAP Request in PHP - php

Question

I am running following code in php:
<?php
$client = new SoapClient('http://devapi.stellatravelgateway.stellatravelservices.co.uk/DirectoryService.svc?wsdl', array('trace' => 1));
$result = $client -> Authenticate( array(
'authenticateRequest' => array('BranchCode' => '6937',
'UserName' => 'xxxx',
'Password' => 'xxxx',
'Application' => 'ExternalAPI',
'BranchID' => '1')));
echo $client->__getLastRequest();
?>
It is resulting this SOAP request
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="http://stellatravelgateway.stellatravelservices.co.uk/DirectoryService">
- <SOAP-ENV:Body>
- <ns1:Authenticate>
- <ns1:authenticateRequest BranchCode="6937" UserName="xxxx" Password="xxxx" Application="ExternalAPI">
<ns1:BranchID>1</ns1:BranchID>
</ns1:authenticateRequest>
</ns1:Authenticate>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
But I want this output...
<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<s:Header>
<Action s:mustUnderstand="1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ws/2005/05/addressing/none">http://stellatravelgateway.stellatravelservices.co.uk/DirectoryService/IDirectoryService/Authenticate</Action>
</s:Header>
<s:Body xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<Authenticate xmlns="http://stellatravelgateway.stellatravelservices.co.uk/DirectoryService">
<authenticateRequest Password="BREEZE2" Application="ExternalAPI" BranchCode="xxxx" UserName="xxxx">
<BranchID>1</BranchID>
</authenticateRequest>
</Authenticate>
</s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

If you return a content-type that is XML, the UI will depend on your browser.
In IE9 and Firefox, I get it the way you want including the + and - to expand/collapse the tags.
If you want to display this in a webpage with your own format, you will have to parse it yourself.
You can use XML readers.
There are a couple of XML readers on PHP.net, you can pick the one that is the most appropriate for you: http://us.php.net/xml
