i'm trying to build a SOAP service with Zend_Soap. Everything is working great but the client needs the ability to send attachments to the service (not base64 encoded strings, as this service will be called multiple times a day with various file sizes so processing all that in memory is not possible.
So I'd like to handle a normal SOAP attachment (DIME/MIME) with the SOAP server in Zend Framework however I'm unable to find documentation about it. Can I access it with $_FILES[] or any other way? Is it even possible in Zend_Soap (as there's not that much info available).
SOAP is a must - so thanks for the advice but it has to be SOAP, not REST.
SOAP attachments are not implemented in the standard PHP SoapServer/SoapClient classes and therefore not available in Zend_Soap which is mainly a wrapper for these.
AFAIK only the PEAR::SOAP class supports attachments but honestly, I gave up and convinced everyone to use base64encoded strings...
I found this blog post describing at least a client solution with PEAR: http://www.casarini.org/blog/2009/php-soap-messages-with-attachments/
I wrote class to add Soap with Attachments support to PHP5's native SoapServer. Usage example is in phpdoc, class itself is located at http://juks.alkohol.ee/tools/attic/PHP/MultipartRawPostHelper.php.txt

A third party provided a WSDL specification, through which I'm going to transfer data to a remote application using SOAP.
I'd like to convert all declared types, constants and method signatures to corresponding classy PHP source code.
Today, I gave WsdlToPhp a try. As far as I figured out, this converter doesn't convert any detail. Furthermore, the documentation has a few rough edges... Maybe a better converter exists.
Q: Could someone propose a stable WSDL to PHP converter?
Please note, that I need a converter to be run offline on a development machine. The WSDL specification isn't publicly available. Therefore, I'm not able to upload the WSDL to a remote converter service.
I used Wsdl2phpgenerator recently. It was pretty easy to use and the generated code has not let me down yet.
I think i done it once, use the pear wsdl lib

I'm trying to make a JSON call library. It has the following features.
be able to customize the header
be able to POST any data to server(including form-encoding (a=1&b=2&c=3) and JSON data chunk)
parse the response and return as a JSON object
I searched in other questions and found that there are only two answers.
use file_get_contents(). This way is pretty simple and easy to use; however, you cannot do anything more than get the content -- you cannot add headers, cannot use POST. But it is usually supported by all servers.
use curl. This way seems powerful and you can do nearly everything with it. The disadvantage is that you have to install libcurl and php-curl support on your server, which means you may not use it on servers that have no curl installed.
So, if I want to develop a common library that can be used on most server, is curl a good choice?
Is there any other ways to do this?
In a short word, I'm looking for a PHP version of urllib2 in python - easy to use, powerful, and reliable.
You have two options: curl and HTTP stream context options. Both can accomplish what you have described; curl might not be installed everywhere, while stream contexts are a core feature and are always available.
Actually, you can also implement your library using sockets, which would be more work but will probably allow you greater control if you need to do weirder things with your requests.
As i know, curl is included in mostly on many server, since it supported from 4.0.2 PHP version natively.
Also there is a native php function header, which customizes your response's headers by simply using like this -> header('location: index.php'), header('cache-control: ok') and so on. You can view Network Functions section on php.net
Googling I've found this article:
http://java.dzone.com/tips/generating-client-java-code
It talk about how to generate a "JAVA" code with SOAP UI client, but what I need is to generate code php with soap UI or other resource.
Is this possible? exist any other resource to make it work that?
thank you for your answers..
Regards.
soapUI will not generate PHP code.
Fortunately, in PHP there often isn't a need to generate proxy classes. Instead, use SoapClient and simply call the SOAP methods you need outright. You can find simple examples at various blogs.
If the service with which you're interacting uses lots of complex types, then you may indeed want to auto-generate some PHP code and make use of SoapClient's classmap option.
I want to create a Web Service in PHP, which can support MTOM/XOP. My Webservice Processing function shpuld be able to extract the attachment. As I googled I could find only WSF(Web Service Framework) as an answer.
Is there any alternatives? I'm new to this MTOM/XOP thing. Currently I use NuSoap but it dont support MTOM/XOP.
There is a patch to support mtom, it might need tweaking for the full mtom spec

can any one help me in developing soap client whereas parameters type of soap server's functions is object etc.
$client->__call("functionName",array(/*now how to find parameter type if they are object*/));
thanks ...
Just read the official documentation (http://php.net/manual/en/class.soapclient.php). There are plenty of examples, you only have to copy, paste and adapt them.
If you really don't know how to use SOAP in PHP then try to use a WSDL to PHP generator such as PackageGenerator. With this is you'll have a PHP SDK corresponding to SOAP Web Service using the native PHP SoapClient class. A tutorial file is also generated that can be used as a starting guide.
