Barnes and Noble seller SOAP API using PHP - php

Question

I am new to SOAP and have been trying to connect to Barnes and Noble SOAP API using the php5 built in soap functions.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.soapclient.php
My question is, does anyone have any documentation or experience using Barnes and Noble system? I have been going back and forth with the support person and I feel like they assume we should just be able to figure it out.
The faultcode i am getting is "HTTP" and fault string is "Method Not Allowed".
Here is what the support guy says my header should look like.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<soap:Header>
<SessionInfo xmlns="http://tempuri.org/SessionInfoHeader">
<User xmlns="">your username goes here</User>
<Password xmlns="">your password goes here.</Password>
</SessionInfo>
</soap:Header>
This is as close as i can get it.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:ns1="http://tempuri.org">
<SOAP-ENV:Header><ns1:SessionInfo>
<item>
<key>SessionInfo</key>
<value>
<item><key>User</key><value>[username]</value></item>
<item><key>Password</key><value>[password]</value></item>
</value>
</item>
</ns1:SessionInfo>
</SOAP-ENV:Header>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<searchCriteria/>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
I am not even sure this is the problem. Any help would be awesome.

In order to get the child nodes instead of the item key/value pairs you have to pass the parameter as an object.
$client = new SoapClient( 'test.wsdl' );
class SessionInfo {
public $User = 'test#example.com';
public $Password = '12345';
}
$sessionInfo = new SessionInfo();
$soap_headers = new SoapHeader( 'http://tempuri.org/SessionInfoHeader',
'SessionInfo', $sessionInfo );
$client->__setSoapHeaders( $soap_headers );
This will output what the support guy said should work. i think you could also create an array and type cast it to an object but i haven't tried that yet.
