Question

I never worked with SOAP XML api before.

I read a couple of similar questions on SO but I can’t get it to work.

Here’s a simple request:

<soap12:Envelope xmlns:xsi=”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance”
xmlns:xsd=”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema” xmlns:soap12=”http://www.w3.org/2003/05/
soap-envelope”>
<soap12:Body>
<CheckDomainAvailability xmlns=”https://live.domainbox.net/”>
<AuthenticationParameters>
<Reseller>myreseller</Reseller>
<Username>myuser</Username>
<Password>mypassword</Password>
</AuthenticationParameters>
<CommandParameters>
<DomainName>checkadomain.co</DomainName>
<LaunchPhase>GA</LaunchPhase>
</CommandParameters>
</CheckDomainAvailability>
</soap12:Body>
</soap12:Envelope>

I’ve contacted them but they do not offer a PHP API.

I would like to use the SoapClient class built in PHP.

The question is:
How do I send the request and print the answer?

Looks like your WSDL is located at https://live.domainbox.net/?WSDL.

Here’s an example using the native PHP SoapClient.

$client = new SoapClient('https://live.domainbox.net/?WSDL');

// populate the inputs....
$params = array(
    'AuthenticationParameters' => array(
        'Reseller' => '',
        'Username' => '',
        'Password' => ''
    ),
    'CommandParameters' => array(
        'DomainName' => '',
        'LaunchPhase' => ''
    )
);

$result = $client->CheckDomainAvailability($params);

print_r($result);
