How do I get a SOAP message in PHP?
OK n00b here with SOAP,
I would like to clarify how to use SOAP.
Question:
I have a Java JSP that hosts WSDL (looks like XML format) for my PHP script, but how can I get this into a PHP script? The WSDL url will be different every time.
I'm sure this is very simple, but just don't understand how or am I not getting it right?

You can try something like this:
try {
if (! ($ xml = file_get_contents ('php: // input'))) {
throw new Exception ('Could not read POST data.');
}
} catch (Exception $ e) {
print ('Did not successfully process HTTP request:'. $ e-> getMessage ());
exit;
}
This will read the body of the POST request to the $ xml variable and print an error if any.

Do you mean the JSP is sending the WSDL in the POST request to the PHP script? If so, take a look at the $ _POST array. If you point out exactly how the JSP submits, I can probably help you.
Anyway, if you have a WSDL url in a variable in your PHP script, you can have a SoapClient class on it .

Assuming the best scenario:
$soapClient = new SoapClient($wsdlUrl, $soapOptions);
$soapClient->callYourMethod();
But when using SOAP, you are likely to run into a lot of brick walls. Here's the documentation for the SoapClient .
Edit:
So WSDL POST-ed. You can then access it either using $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA
if the XML string was submitted as an HTTP body, or using $_FILES
superglobal if the XML string was sent as part of a multipart request.
Something like that:
$wsdl = $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA;
$wsdlUrl = 'data:text/xml;base64,' . base64_encode($wsdl);
$soapClient = new SoapClient($wsdlUrl);
Anyway, $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA
only available if php.ini is enabled always_populate_raw_post_data
. Also, if the request was multiple, this parameter is ignored, $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA
not populated, but you can access the hosted parts with $_FILES
. And you can use php://input
instead $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA
.
Also, the data URI can only be used when allow_url_fopen
enabled in php.ini.
