[RESOLVED] nusoap and OOP

[aaron_karp]

I'm working with nusoap for one of the first times, but I'm having some trouble accessing it from within another class. For example

This works:

      $client = new soapclient('https://myhost.com/soapservice');
      $header = "<username/><password/><etc/>";
      $client->setHeaders($header);
      $response = $client->call("login");

But this doesn't:

require("nusoap.php"); // No errors on the include

class Login {

  function Login() {
      $client = new soapclient('https://myhost.com/soapservice');
      $header = "<username/><password/><etc/>";
      $client->setHeaders($header);
      $response = $client->call("login");
  }

}

$login = new Login();

I get the error Class 'soapclient' not found in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\file.php on line 23

Anyone have any idea why it's not working?

Thanks.

Ok, I think I narrowed it down to the way I'm including nusoap. If I want to have access to nusoap's objects, I need to include nusoap from inside my function declaration.

function Login() {
require("nusoap.php");
..code..
}

So now my problem is, I don't want to just include it with a relative path since it's inside a class declaration file. I need some kind of absolute path. Oddly, if I change it to require("http://localhost/myapp/includes/nusoap.php"); then I start getting that "Class soapclient not found" again. Even though the file is included successfully. I'm stumped.

Ok, i think I got it. I was trying to include nusoap using absolute references via http://localhost. The consequence of including it via http was that I was getting parsed version, and my classes weren't visible to the rest of my script. Instead, I'm including the files in reference to my filesystem. And now it works.

Lesson of the day: URLs are not filenames 🙂
