note 80852 added to function.soap-soapclient-dorequest

If your application interacts with SOAP services and you wish to cache the responses for consumption later, then overriding SoapClient::__doRequest is the way to go. For instance, if you know that the information presented doesn't change that often and you don't want to do a superfluous HTTP request, you can grab a response from a local cache and let SoapClient do the transformation to PHP data types. <?php class YourNamespace_SoapClient_Local extends SoapClient { protected $cacheDocument = ""; public function __construct($wsdl, $options) { parent::__construct($wsdl, $options); } /** * SetCacheDocument() sets the previously cached document contents */ public function SetCacheDocument($document) { $this->cacheDocument = $document; } /** * __doRequest() overrides the standard SoapClient to handle a local request */ public function __doRequest() { return $this->cacheDocument; } } //---- code snippet showing usage within a class //$document is a cached SOAP response document from a previous request, saved with SoapClient::__getLastResponse() to some cache somewhere //for the purpose of this example, it is assumed that $this->wsdl, $this->options, $this->method and $this->params are set. public function SoapRequest($document) { $method = $this->method; if($document == "") { //uncached try { //default options $client = new SoapClient($this->wsdl, $this->options); $result = $client->$method($this->params); //send the response to the cache $this->CacheResponse($client->__getLastResponse()); } catch(SoapFault $fault) { //log something return FALSE; } } else { //cached document try { /** * the WSDL needs to be set to allow the method to be called on the client object * and to trigger SoapClient to decode the response to native data types */ $client = new YourNamespace_SoapClient_Local($this->wsdl, $this->options); $client->SetCacheDocument($document); $result = $client->$method($this->params); } catch (SoapFault $fault) { //log something return FALSE; } } return $result; } ?> I'll leave you to work out the caching, plenty of options there.. ;) ---- Server IP: 203.202.10.60 Probable Submitter: 58.6.148.157 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.soap-soapclient-dorequest.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/80852 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80852/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80852/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80852/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80852/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80852/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80852/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80852 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/80852 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
