I need to send a file to a web service (ebridge) using their SendFile

  • 0

I need to send a file to a web service (ebridge) using their SendFile method. This may be too specific to their service for anyone to answer, but I thought I’d give it a try. This is the only documentation I can find regarding the SendFile method:

Purpose
This method is used to submit data for processing by ePortal.
Input parameters
Login (string) The ePortal userID.
Password (string) The ePortal password for that user.
Content (string) This is the document to be uploaded.
Filename (string) This is the name of the file with no path information.
Return Value
SendFileResult (boolean) The boolean return value represents success or failure of the submission of a document.

Here is their sample xml code for posting:

<?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:Body>
<SendFile xmlns="eBridge.WebServices">
  <login>mylogin</login>
  <password>mypassword</password>
  <content>string</content>
  <filename>string</filename>
</SendFile>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

I am also given a sample of the file (ASN.xml) that I am supposed to send. I’ve tried putting the xml from this file in between the content tags and just putting “test.xml” in the filename tags. That doesn’t work. I know I am making a connection because if I leave it just like it is above I will get a response back, it just returns false since I didn’t send anything. Perhaps I am misunderstanding what they want in content and filename? Does anyone have any ideas what I am supposed to do with this?

clarification: What I am wondering is if the xml file goes into ‘content’ as a string, then what is ‘filename’ for? Is it actually looking for a file or is this just a name that gets assigned to something later?

    Ummm, are you creating a SOAPClient? That xml file is actually the body of a SOAP request and that is encapsulated by the SOAPClient class in PHP.

    For the WSDL file: https://www.ebridgeservices.com/ePortalService.asmx?WSDL
    Use the SOAPClient Class to build your request to their services. Use $soapReq->SendFile({args and blah here})

    and if you don’t like the PHP Manual: Here’s an example/tutorial.
