[RESOLVED] WSDL issue

http://www.champions.co.nz/global/AffiliateServices.asmx?WSDL

I'm trying to access this webservice, I have this code to try see the catalogue list, it outputs the below.

I've got another .net script which works so I know the codes i'm using are correct, what is wrong?

stdClass Object ( [Catalogue_ListResult] => stdClass Object ( [any] => ) )

<?php
$client = new SoapClient("http://www.champions.co.nz/global/AffiliateServices.asmx?WSDL");

$result = $client->Catalogue_List(array('ID' => 99, 'Guid' => "MyCode", 'Satellite' => 1));

print_r($result);

?>

According to the WSDL document, the "Catalogue_List" operation utilizes three input parameters (two of which are required - the first and the last): AffiliateID, AffiliateGuid, and Satellite. You've only provided one of those three.

sorry Guid is AffiliateGuid and ID is AffiliateID, I've already updated my code and tested it. It still does not work.

when I do a var_dump I get this, does it need to output it differently to use this information?


object(stdClass)[2]
  public 'Catalogue_ListResult' => 
    object(stdClass)[3]
      public 'any' => string '<Affiliate_Catalogue_List xmlns="" SatelliteID="1" SatelliteName="Champions Of The World"><Catalogues><Catalogue CatalogueID="10" Name="All Blacks" Order="10" ParentID="0" Url="http://www.champions.co.nz/rd.ashx?iSAMS=A&amp;afID=79&amp;C=10"><Catalogue CatalogueID="125" Name="New Releases" Order="1" ParentID="10" Url="http://www.champions.co.nz/rd.ashx?iSAMS=A&amp;afID=79&amp;C=125"/><Catalogue CatalogueID="235" Name="2012 All Blacks Range" Order="1" ParentID="10" Url="http://www.champions.co.nz/rd.ashx?iSA'...

getFunctions and getTypes tells you what the methods return and their types. In this case, there is a chunk of XML in there that appears to have some information in it; have you tried parsing it?

NZ_Kiwis

Those functions give me this output, i'm at a loss with what to do with this?...

Read them and determine what types of data are returned by the functions (which requires a bit of logical thinking on your part). For example:

Catalogue_ListResponse Catalogue_List(Catalogue_List $parameters)

tells you that the "Catalogue_List" method returns a "Catalogue_ListResponse". What's a "Catalogue_ListResponse"?

struct Catalogue_ListResponse {
 Catalogue_ListResult Catalogue_ListResult;
}

It's an object with a "Catalogue_ListResult" property that is of type "Catalogue_ListResult". But what's a "Catalogue_ListResult"?

struct Catalogue_ListResult {
 <anyXML> any;
}

It's an object that has an "any" property containing XML.

Right okay so how do I access the XML data within $result?

$result = $client->Catalogue_List(array('AffiliateID' => 99, 'AffiliateGuid' => "$Code", 'Satellite' => 1));

I thought this might access it but i does not.

foreach($result->Catalogue_ListResult[0]->attributes() as $a => $b) {
    echo $a,'="',$b,"\"\n";
}

I know know that somewhere within $result is a XML file, I just don't get how i'm to access it to parse it

NZ_Kiwis

print_r($result->Catalogue_ListResult);

this prints

stdClass Object ( [any] => )

See your second post in this thread.

NZ_Kiwis wrote:

So it's a one of the properties in this object. Which is it, I wonder?

See your second post for information about what type of value is stored in the property (hint: you will need an XML parser to parse the XML).

NZ_Kiwis

okay I have this code, am I getting closer?

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($result->Catalogue_ListResult->any);
print_r($xml);

echo "<hr>";

foreach($xml->Catalogues->Catalogue as $cat){
	echo $cat["Name"] ."<br>";
}

It echo's the first 9 rows, there is more though? what is wrong?
