Question

I have a WCF web service with a Login operation taking a company name, user name and password as the three parameters. I am trying to create a PHP client app to communicate with this service. No matter what I pass to the Login operation I get the following error:

OperationFormatter encountered an invalid Message body. Expected to find node type 'Element' with name 'Login' and namespace ''. Found node type 'Element' with name 'parameters' and namespace ''

My client app:

<?php
        try
        {
            $client = new SoapClient("https://somewhere.com/DataServiceRxPublic.svc?wsdl");

            //$params = array(
            //        'parameters' => array(
            //                'Param' => array(
            //                        array('Name' => 'loginCompany', 'Value' => 'XXX'),
            //                        array('Name' => 'loginId', 'Value' => 'XXX'),
            //                        array('Name' => 'loginPwd', 'Value' => 'XXX')
            //)));

            //$params = array(
            //        'Login' => array(
            //                array('Name' => 'loginCompany', 'Value' => 'XXX'),
            //                array('Name' => 'loginId', 'Value' => 'XXX'),
            //                array('Name' => 'loginPwd', 'Value' => 'XXX')
            //));

            //$params = array(
            //        'Login' => array(
            //                'parameters' => array(
            //                       array('Name' => 'loginCompany', 'Value' => 'XXX'),
            //                        array('Name' => 'loginId', 'Value' => 'XXX'),
            //                        array('Name' => 'loginPwd', 'Value' => 'XXX')
            //)));

            //$params = array(
            //        array('Name' => 'loginCompany', 'Value' => 'XXX'),
            //        array('Name' => 'loginId', 'Value' => 'XXX'),
            //        array('Name' => 'loginPwd', 'Value' => 'XXX')
            //);

            $params = array(
                    'loginCompany' => 'XXX',
                    'loginId' => 'XXX',
                    'loginPwd' => 'XXX'
            );

            $obj->loginCompany = 'XXX';
            $obj->loginId = 'XXX';
            $obj->loginPwd = 'XXX';

            //$result = $client->Login($obj);
            //$result = $client->Login($params);
        }
        catch (Exception $e)
        {
                print_r($e);
        }
    }
?>

$params being the different array permutations I’ve based off several different examples online.

Any help is appreciated.

Turns out I needed to extend the SOAPClient and override the __doRequest() method to replace the mismatched soap headers.
