php-xml-NuSoap-!working

[Kongas]

Dear pros,
I'm trying to get familiar with SOAPs.
I copied NuSoap to my site.
Then I made hello.php
<?php
require_once('nusoap.php');
$server = new soap_server;
$server->register('hello');
function hello ($name){
return "Hello $name.";
}
$server->service($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA);
?>

but when I run it on browser at
http://www.kaamos.net/saippua/hello.php

It says
<?xml version="1.0" ?> - <SOAP-ENV:Envelope SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:si="">http://soapinterop.org/xsd">
- <SOAP-ENV:Body>
- <SOAP-ENV:Fault>
<faultcode>Server</faultcode> <faultactor>method '' not defined in service ''</faultactor> <faultstring /> <faultdetail /> </SOAP-ENV:Fault>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
- <!-- soap_server: entering parseRequest() on 23:12 2003-01-09
soap_server: method name: soap_server: method '' not found!
soap_server: parser debug: soap_parser: xml was empty, didn't parse!

soap_server: server sending...

-->
Have I understood something totally wrong?

I also made saippua_clnt.php in same folder
(http://www.kaamos.net/saippua/saippua_clnt.php)
<?php
require_once('nusoap.php');

$soapclient = new soapclient('http://www.kaamos.net/saippua/hello.php');

echo $soapclient->call('hello',array('name'=>'dietrich'));
?>

It shows nothing on browser.

Any idea?
Thanks a lot

Hey Kongas,

Yeah I got it to work. Here is the php for the two files. The first is the part that actually says what will happen. The second is a short script that calls the 'hello' soap program and passes it the 'name' parameter.

hello.php

<?

require_once('nusoap.php');
$s = new soap_server;
$s->register('hello');
function hello($name){
	// optionally catch an error and return a fault
	if($name == ''){
    	return new soap_fault('Client','','Must supply a valid name.');
    }
	return "hello $name!";
}
$s->service($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA);

?>

run_hello.php

<?
require_once('nusoap.php');
$parameters = array('name'=>'Mike');
$soapclient = new soapclient('http://www.path_to_hello.php');
echo $soapclient->call('hello',$parameters);
?>

Hope this helps.

Mike

Thanks Mike,
but I don't know what is wrong. Maybe I'm having SOAP in my eyes.;-)

I did what you recommended and then I run
http://www.kaamos.net/saippua/run_hello.php
on browser. Something happens and I get an empty screen.

Is there something very basic I don't see?

Best regards,
Jusku

I know this is an old message, but have you checked your php.ini to see if $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is getting populated?
