#44482 [Com]: PHP SOAP/.NET

ID: 44482 Comment by: bugs dot php dot net at ceesco dot com Reported By: j dot dunn5 at ntlworld dot com Status: Open Bug Type: SOAP related Operating System: RedHat PHP Version: 5.2.5 New Comment: I have been facing the same issue, more specificly, PHP SOAP client in the WSDL mode can not handle complex types (nested elements). No matter if the data passed to client is created with SoapParam(), SoapVar(), a class, or arrays; the nested elements are either missing or have irrelevant structure and attributes. PHP SOAP $client->__getLastRequest() can be used to view the structure of the XML sent to the .NET server in WSDL mode. Here is a sample to be tested and reproduced: I want the output of the XML client look like: _________________________________________________________________ <SubmitInquiry xmlns="http://some.NETwebservices.c/"> <basketItems> <anyType xsi:type="BasketItem"> <m_itemID>6729</m_itemID> <m_retailPrice>1.35</m_retailPrice> <m_indexNum>2</m_indexNum> </anyType> <anyType xsi:type="BasketItem"> <m_itemID>3434</m_itemID> <m_retailPrice>1.39</m_retailPrice> <m_indexNum>1</m_indexNum> </anyType> <anyType></anyType> </basketItems> <affiliateName>myName</affiliateName> <password>myPass</password> </SubmitInquiry> _________________________________________________________________ Here are different ways I have tried to create the anyType elements within the basketItems: _________________________________________________________________ $SubmitInquiryParameters['affiliateName'] = 'myName'; $SubmitInquiryParameters['password'] = 'myPass'; $temp_array = array( 'm_itemID' => '6729', 'm_retailPrice' => 1.39, 'm_indexNum' => 1); $SubmitInquiryParameters['basketItems']['anyType'][] = new SoapVar($temp_array,0,'BasketItem','tns','anyType',''); _________________________________________________________________ Here I have hard coded the XML for the complex nodes but the client still drops the node entirely: $SubmitInquiryParameters['affiliateName'] = 'myName'; $SubmitInquiryParameters['password'] = 'myPass'; $SubmitInquiryParameters['basketItems'] = '<anyType xsi:type="BasketItem"><m_itemID>6729</m_itemID><m_retailPrice>1.35</m_retailPrice><m_indexNum>2</m_indexNum></anyType>'; _________________________________________________________________ In every case the anyType is an empty node in the request sent by the PHP SOAP client: <ns2:basketItems><ns2:anyType xsi:type="ns1:BasketItem"/></ns2:basketItems> So I believe, the SOAP client in WSDL mode can't process complex types and drops the data.

I am yet to find a solution - the same application works fine when connected to from a .net platform. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php ini_set('display_errors', 1); ini_set("soap.wsdl_cache_enabled", 0); $params = new stdClass; $params->POS->Source = (object)array('ISOCountry' => 'GB', 'ISOCurrency' => 'GBP'); $params->POS->Source->BookingChannel->CompanyName = (object)array('CompanyShortName' => 'Testing'); $params->AvailRequestSegments->UTSv_AvailRequestSegment->StayDateRange->StartDateWindow = (object)array('EarliestDate' => '2008-04-01'); $params->AvailRequestSegments->UTSv_AvailRequestSegment->StayDateRange->EndDateWindow = (object)array('EarliestDate' => '2008-04-02'); $params->AvailRequestSegments->UTSv_AvailRequestSegment->ConsumerCandidates->ConsumerCandidate->ConsumerCounts->ConsumerCount = (object)array('AgeQualifyingCode' => 'Adult', 'Count' => 2); $params->AvailRequestSegments->UTSv_AvailRequestSegment->TPA_Extensions->SearchCriteria = (object)array('IndustryClassification' => 1); try { $client = new SoapClient( "http://www.testing123.com/AvailabilityService.asmx?WSDL", array('trace' => true) ); $client->SearchSupplierProductTypeAvailability($params); echo $client->__getLastRequestHeaders() . "\r" . $client->__getLastRequest() . "\r\r" . $client->__getLastResponse();; } catch (Exception $e) { echo "Error!<br />"; echo $e -> getMessage (); } ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44482&edit=1
