Question

hi i need to create a bug in bugzilla using bugzilla webservices and php. I don’t want to use any other libraries (for eg. zend, nusoap etc) as my boss wants it to be using strictly php soapclient. After trying for couple of day, I couldn’t make it work. I hope you guys can help me. I was successful first time doing this using a class avaiable at http://code.google.com/p/bugzillaphp/ . However, as we upgraded to new bugzilla (4.2) and that class was using xmlrpc request and not the webservice. So it failed. I am pasting the code, soap request and response. Please help me guys.

<?php
$user = 'your email address';
$pass = 'your password';
$uri = 'http://your site/xmlrpc.cgi';       
$client = new SoapClient(NULL,
                                       array('location' => $uri,
                                            'uri'     => $uri,
                                            'trace' => 1,
                                            'soap_version' => SOAP_1_2,

                                             'action' => ""
                                            //'exceptions' => 0
));
try
{
 $result = $client->__soapCall("User.login", array(

            'login'          => $user,
            'password'       => $pass,          
            'remember'  => 'true'
            ));
print $result;                  
}
catch (Exception $e)
 {
        print $e->getMessage();
    echo "REQUEST:\n" . $client->__getLastRequest() . "\n";
    echo "Response:\n" . $client->__getLastResponse() . "\n";
    echo "REQUEST HEADERS:\n" . $client->__getLastRequestHeaders() . "\n";
    echo "RESPONSE HEADERS:\n" . $client->__getLastResponseHeaders() . "\n";
print_r($headers);      
$headers = str_replace("application/soap+xml", "text/xml", $headers);
print_r($headers);  
 }
?>

Answer 1

thanks “sas” but I figured it out. I concluded that as bugzilla webservices are implemented using xmlrpc server (xmlrpc.cgi) (not soap server), so we can not use php soapclient to call those services. I used xmlrpc client for php available at phpxmlrpc.sourceforge.net to implement the client script to call bugzilla webservices. I will post the code for this soon.
