PHP Wrapper for interacting with LabManager SOAP API

[cesarcesar]

I am new to vmware. I am attempting yo use a SOAP wrapper built for PHP, but I am having some issues with it. The wrapper is found at, http://code.google.com/p/phlabmanager/. There's not much to the script, but im just getting a white screen. I think it has to do with some configurationvalues it needs. I have listed them below in hows that someone has used vmware and knows what i need.

To give a little background on the project, VMware is installed on Server A. I am using phLabManager from a directory on Server B.

1. I assume the hostname is that of Server A? Something like http://147.34.xxx.xxx/ correct?

2. Is username, password that of the server, or the users vCenter login?

3. "organisation_name" and "workspace_name" are a litle confusing. When in LabManager and clicking on the Workspace link it shows my Workspace name as ITGO-TTS / Main, but i have no Organisation Name. Now if i click on VM Templates link, I now have an Organisation as ITGO-TTS, but no Workspace Name. Where do i get these values?

4. GetConfigurationByName() should this be set to either a Template Name or Workspace -> Configuration Name right?

Thanks for the help.

cesarcesar,

I am unfamiliar with this app, and don't quite have time nor resources to fully test it, however you can check your PHP configuration if you are displaying errors!

Or, at the first line of the file you are accessing (under <?php) place:

<?php
ini_set('display_errors',1);
display_errors(E_ALL);

// ... file continues

A white screen with no data exported can mean you arent displaying errors, but there is a fatal error.

You can also look @ the PHP logs if you have access to them to see what is happening.
