Re: PHP SOAP Client question

The following wsdl file was provided to me. http://64.122.63.81:5454/IfxService.wsdl I first attempted to genrate the PHP classes using the following code... <?php require_once('SOAP/Client.php'); $wsdl=new SOAP_WSDL('http://64.122.63.81:5454/IfxService.wsdl); // Look at the generated code... echo ( $wsdl->generateProxyCode() ); ?> ---------------------------------- I was expecting this code to generate a code makes use of the underlying SOAP_Client class - that is I was expecting to see each functions.

It does make use of the underlying SOAP_Client class. the generated class is a subclass of the SOAP_Client class a subclass inherited all methods from its superclass, unless these methods need different functionality in the subclass they are not (should not) be overloaded (or whatever the correct f****** term is in PHPland).

But what I found is this: class WebService_IfxService_IfxService extends SOAP_Client

				         ^--- the important bit!

it means that WebService_IfxService_IfxService is a SOAP_Client class and has all the methods available for use that are defined in the class definition for SOAP_Client.

{

    function WebService_IfxService_IfxService()

{

        $this->SOAP_Client("http://64.122.63.81:5454/IfxService.asmx", 0);
    }
    function &IfxRequest($IFX) {
        $IFX =& new SOAP_Value('{}IFX','',$IFX);
        return $this->call("IfxRequest",                         $v = array("IFX"=>$IFX),                        array('namespace'=>'https://www.cashsystemsinc.com/ifx/150/bindings',
                           'soapaction'=>'https://www.cashsystemsinc.com/ifx/150/WebService/IfxRequest',
                            'style'=>'document',
                            'use'=>'literal' ));
    }

} Any Idea what is going on here?

think I do (although I have never touched SOAP and have little experience with code generators!) I hope that my comments give you a little insight too :-)
