   $headers = array( 
   "Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8", 
   "Accept: gzip,deflate", 
   "Cache-Control: no-cache", 
   "Pragma: no-cache", 
   "SOAPAction: \"\"", 
   "Authorization: Basic $auth", 
   "Content-length: ".strlen($xml_post_string), 
   ); 

   // PHP cURL  for https connection with auth
   $ch = curl_init();
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $soapUrl);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_ANY);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 500);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 500);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 12);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $xml_post_string); // the SOAP request
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
   $ss = curl_getinfo($ch);
   //print_r($ss);
  // exit;
   $response = curl_exec($ch); 
   print_r($response);
   exit;
   curl_close($ch);   
   ?>

I got only Empty response only please give me any idea highly appreciated.

Answer 1

I would start by adding:

$http_code = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);

That will allow you to see the response http code of the server.

Usually when I work on SOAP / REST services I make sure to have Fiddler running in the background, that makes debugging a lot easier.

You can find how to use Fiddler with cURL here: Configure PHP cURL
