Question

I am using SOAP web services for the first time and i am having a problem in calling the SOAP server. I searched through WSDL SOAP request not i am not able to solve my problem. This is the snippet of my WSDL

<s:complexType name="VerHeader">
    <s:sequence>
        <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="HD1" type="s:string"/>
        <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="HD2" type="s:string"/>
        <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="HD3" type="s:string"/>
    </s:sequence>
    <s:anyAttribute/>
</s:complexType>

I have to send username, password and some ID in these HD1, HD2 and HD3 variables. I have also tried these links Passing a PHP array in a SOAP call and Sending a Soap Header with a WSDL Soap Request with PHP

Here is what i have tried but not working, every time i run my code it send failure message, can you figure it out what’s wrong with my code or my logic?

$soap = new SoapClient("http://example.com/verifyrecord.asmx?WSDL");
$header = array('HD1'=>'000000023','HD2'=>'val2','HD3'=>'val2');
$header = new SoapHeader('http://www.example.com/', 'VerHeader ', $header);

$soap->__setSoapHeaders(array($header));

Solved the problem. I solved it not by using php functions but creating an xml file manually and sending it to the soap server. I’ve posted an example of my answer so that it might be helpful to others. Thanks all for the help.

// the xml to send
$xml = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <soap:Header>
    <VerHeader xmlns="http://www.example.com/">
      <HD1>000000000117</HD1>
      <HD1>user</HD1>
      <HD1>password</HD1>
    </VerHeader>
  </soap:Header>
  <soap:Body>
    <m:VerifyTransaction xmlns:m="http://www.example.com/">
        <m:object1>45344</m:object1>
        <m:object2>5545437</m:object2>
    </m:VerifyTransaction>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>';
// build your http request
$context = stream_context_create(array(
'http' => array(
'method' => 'POST',
'header' => "Content-type: text/xml\r\n",
'validateRequest'=>false,
'content' => $xml,
'timeout' => 10,
),
));

// send it
echo $xmlstring = file_get_contents('http://example.com/VerifyThis/VerifyThis.asmx?wsdl', false, $context);
