Hello, I am new to web services and have been trying to get an XML request to work. Here is a sample request the client has provided for me
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<GErmH_Request
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="GErmH_Requests.xsd">
<CustomerRequests>
<Customer id="9999">
<Name>Customer Name</Name>
</Customer>
<Customer id="8888">
<Name>Customer Name 2Name>
</Customer>
</CustomerRequests>
</GErmH_Request>
They provided a C# application that connects to their server and you can paste in the request and it returns some customer information. My mission is to get it working in PHP. I tried some methods and am now using NuSOAP
<?
$client = new soapclient("http://mywebserviceURL.aspx", false,
$proxyhost, $proxyport, $proxyusername, $proxypassword);
$err = $client->getError();
if ($err) {
echo '<h2>Constructor error</h2><pre>' . $err . '</pre>';
}
// This is an archaic parameter list
$params = array("CustomerRequests" => array(
'Customer' => array('id' => '9999',
'name' => 'customer name')
));
$result = $client->call('GErmH_Request', $params, '', 'http://tempuri.org/EBillEPay_Request');
if ($client->fault) {
echo '<h2>Fault (This is expected)</h2><pre>'; print_r($result); echo '</pre>';
} else {
$err = $client->getError();
if ($err) {
echo '<h2>Error</h2><pre>' . $err . '</pre>';
} else {
echo '<h2>Result</h2><pre>'; print_r($result); echo '</pre>';
}
}
echo '<h2>Request</h2><pre>' . htmlspecialchars($client->request, ENT_QUOTES) . '</pre>';
echo '<h2>Response</h2><pre>' . htmlspecialchars($client->response, ENT_QUOTES) . '</pre>';
echo '<h2>Debug</h2><pre>' . htmlspecialchars($client->debug_str, ENT_QUOTES) . '</pre>';
?>
NuSoap creates this request
