note 103439 modified in book.soap by danbrown

I needed to perform SOAP actions and get information from a Windows ASP.NET server and encountered many errors along the way. At first I had it solved with NUSOAP, and sending my own XMLs with it, but then when I needed to use SSL it failed again. So I went back to a regular SoapClient (as opposed to nusoap_client) and now I am using the WSDL defined functions ($client->function($params)). The ASP.NET server I'm consuming is quite strange, the WSDL definition does not define the parameters I need to send, they only define one parameter and they expect me to send another XML within that. So here's my solution, in case it helps anyone: $params['trace'] = true; $client = new soapclient('https://www.example.com/WebService.asmx?WSDL', $params); $msg['AccountData']['any'] = "<somexml></somexml><otherxml></otherxml>"; $client->Function($msg); $resulta = xml2array($client->__getLastResponse()); --was-- I needed to perform SOAP actions and get information from a Windows ASP.NET server and encountered many errors along the way.
