[RESOLVED] soap wsdl xml web services

[mark_kccs]

Hi all

I have been tasked with a project that requires the use of web services and despite many hours of google-ing I am no near to understanding this skill.

The broad outline is to create an xml file which must be sent to a URL and I should then receive a response.

The xml file from the specification is:

<debitorder>
	<header>
		<merchantno>AB99999</merchantno>
		<totaltransactions>3</totaltransactions>
		<firstactiondate>080418</firstactiondate>
		<lastactiondate>080418</lastactiondate>
		<merchantcellnotify>083 999 9999</merchantcellnotify>
		<merchantemailnotify>[e-mail]</merchantemailnotify>
	</header>
	<transaction>
		<sequenceno>1</sequenceno>
		<branchcode>123456</branchcode>
		<accounttype>7</accounttype>
		<accountno>30001245</accountno>
		<debitamount>100.25</debitamount>
		<debitdate>080418</debitdate>
		<debitreference>ref</debitreference>
		<accountholder></accountholder>
		<debitcellnotify></debitcellnotify>
		<debitemailnotify></debitemailnotify>
	</transaction>
	<footer>
		<totaltransactions>3</totaltransactions>
		<firstactiondate>080418</firstactiondate>
		<lastactiondate>080418</lastactiondate>
		<debittotal>2716.41</debittotal>
	</footer>
</debitorder>
<debitorder>
	<header>
		<merchantno>AB99999</merchantno>
		<totaltransactions>3</totaltransactions>
		<firstactiondate>080418</firstactiondate>
		<lastactiondate>080418</lastactiondate>
		<merchantcellnotify>083 999 9999</merchantcellnotify>
		<merchantemailnotify>[e-mail]</merchantemailnotify>
	</header>
	<transaction>
		<sequenceno>1</sequenceno>

		<branchcode>456321</branchcode>
		<accounttype>7</accounttype>
		<accountno>50001245</accountno>
		<debitamount>2516.17</debitamount>
		<debitdate>080418</debitdate>
		<debitreference>ref</debitreference>
		<accountholder></accountholder>
		<debitcellnotify></debitcellnotify>

		<lastactiondate>080418</lastactiondate>
		<debittotal>2716.41</debittotal>
	</footer>
</debitorder>

If I browse to the URL i get:

I would greatly appreciate any pointers as I seem to have got nowhere so far.

I have been testing with NuSoap and the best I have been able to achieve is:

require('../lib/nusoap.php');

$c = new nusoap_client('https://www.mygate.co.za/debitorders2/includes/MyGate_DebitOrder_WebService.cfc?wsdl');

$stockprice = $c->call('releaseDebitFileRequest">',
              array('releaseXML' => true));

foreach($stockprice as $key=>$val) {
echo $val;
echo '<br>';
}

Many thanks

You're using nusoap, so I'm guessing you are on PHP4 right? Do you have the option to upgrade to PHP5? There is a SOAP extension included with PHP5.

If you go that route, you may find much more support. Here's a good example of SOAP used with PHP5: http://www.phpwest.com/articles/48/Technologies/SOAP_practical_using_in_PHP_5.html

Hi mmilano

Many thanks for the reply

I am using php5 so i have looked at the soap extensions as recommended. I found a tutorial which gives the following as an example:

$client=new SoapClient("http://soap.amazon.com/schemas2/AmazonWebServices.wsdl");
$params=array('keyword'=>'paul reinheimer','page'=>1,'mode'=>'books','tag'=>'preinheimerco-20','type'=>'lite','devtag'=>'MYTAG');
$client->__soapCall("KeywordSearchRequest",$params);

but i get the following error:

Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault exception: [HTTP] Gone in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\test\remind\test\test_soap\untitled.php:4 Stack trace: #0 [internal function]: SoapClient->__doRequest('<?xml version="...', 'http://soap.ama...', 'http://soap.ama...', 1, 0) #1 C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\test\remind\test\test_soap\untitled.php(4): SoapClient->__soapCall('KeywordSearchRe...', Array) #2 {main} thrown in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\test\remind\test\test_soap\untitled.php on line 4

Unfortunaltey I am not getting any support with the gateway company and the client will not move so very stuck at present if you can help.

Many thanks

Hi to all

Sorry to be a pain but if anyone can help I would be very grateful.

As an aside, I have uncommented the directives for curl and soap in my php.ini but not sure if I need libxml as mentioned on php site as I read somewhere that this is only for a unix box and I am running windows?

Many thanks

Hi

If anyone should be interested in the solution that has worked for me;

uncomment 'extension=php_openssl.dll' directive in your php.ini if you need to use https (secure sites) this was not mentioned in any of the tutorials i found.

create the xml file as i have above with the addition of the header <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> and assign the file to a variable i.e. $XML = ...

create a soap object and send the file

$client = new SoapClient( URL );
$arrResults = $client->WEB SERVICES METHOD($XML);

Hope this may help.

Cheers
