Question

I’m using the PHP Soap Client with a WSDL document.The client is created like this:

$client = new SoapClient('http://eklima.met.no/metdata/MetDataService?WSDL');

Now I want to call the function ‘getCountyTypes’ which takes to parameters ‘language’ and ‘countiesId’.

$args = array(
    'language'=>'no', 
    'countiesId'=>'2'
);

Directly using the function __soapCall works as expected:

$res = $client->__soapCall('getCountyTypes', $args);

Trying to use magic functions does not work:

$res = $client->getCountyTypes($args);

I get the following error:

PHP Notice:  Array to string conversion in /Users/jorgen/soaptest.php on line 60
PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught SoapFault exception: [SOAP-ENV:Client] No mapping found for ':countiesId' using encoding style 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/'. [java.lang.IllegalArgumentException] in /Users/jorgen/soaptest.php:60
Stack trace:
#0 /Users/jorgen/soaptest.php(60): SoapClient->__call('getCountyTypes', Array)
#1 /Users/jorgen/soaptest.php(60): MySoapClient->getCountyTypes(Array)
#2 {main}
  thrown in /Users/jorgen/soaptest.php on line 60

I need some directions on how to use the soap client with magic functions.

Edit: Added output from var_dump($client->__getFunctions());

array(14) {
  [0]=>
  string(185) "no_met_metdata_Metdata getMetData(string $timeserietypeID, string $format, string $from, string $to, string $stations, string $elements, string $hours, string $months, string $username)"

  [12]=>

  string(86) "ArrayOfno_met_metdata_CountyTypes getCountyTypes(string $language, string $countiesId)"
}

As pointed out by aravind.udayashankara the correct solution is to use

$res = $client->__soapCall('getCountyTypes', $args);
