Note Submitter: Emanuele Colonnelli ---- Hi, I'd like to add this trick to get SoapClient correctly running with a WSDD-generated Axis 1 webservice. By default, Apache Axis 1 generates a SOAP RPC/Encoded WSDL with "urn:" prefixes before all <SERVICE_NAME> occurrences. Axis 1 WSDL also uses an "impl:" namespace prefix. Suppose your service's name is "myWS", your WSDL will contains a "<wsdl:binding>" element with the name attribute valued "urn:myWSSoapBinding": <wsdl:binding name="myWSSoapBinding"> PHP SoapClient has a problem (I hope it will be fixed soon ) parsing this WSDL and generates this error: SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: No element with name 'myWSSoapBinding' This error arise because PHP SoapClient could not resolve the "urn:impl:myWSSoapBinding" QName in generated WSDL: <wsdl:service name="myWSService"> <wsdl:port binding="impl:urn:myWSSoapBinding" name="urn:myWS"> <wsdlsoap:address location="http://URL/services/urn:myWS"/> </wsdl:port> </wsdl:service> To solve this problem I parse WSDL applying a preg_replace to delete all "urn:" occurrences. Then I save this generated WSDL somewhere in my site and point my SoapClient to this location. I also need to specify additional parameters to SoapClient constructor: <?php $soap = new SoapClient("wsdl/myWS.wsdl", array( "style" => SOAP_RPC, "use" => SOAP_ENCODED, "soap_version" => SOAP_1_1, "uri"=>"urn:myWS" )); ?> I suggest you this resources to a full understanding of this kind of problems: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/ webservices/library/ws-whichwsdl/ http://wso2.org/wiki/display/wsfphp/ PHP+SOAP+Extension+API+-+Backward+Compatibility I hope this save you hours of imprecations! :) Emanuele Colonnelli
