SOAP + WSDL + PHP

Question

I need a litte bit help. I have the following two URLS:

WSDL: https://amsel.dpwn.net/abholportal/gw/lp/schema/1.0/var3ws.wsdl

Endpoint: https://amsel.dpwn.net/abholportal/gw/lp/SoapConnector

Now I want to send the server something like this:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:var="https://amsel.dpwn.net/abholportal/gw/lp/schema/1.0/var3bl">
<soapenv:Header>
   <wsse:Security soapenv:mustUnderstand="1"
   xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-      secext-1.0.xsd">
      <wsse:UsernameToken>
         <wsse:Username>ws_online_retoure</wsse:Username>
         <wsse:Password
         Type="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-tokenprofile1.0#
         PasswordText">Anfang1!</wsse:Password>
      </wsse:UsernameToken>
   </wsse:Security>
</soapenv:Header>
<soapenv:Body>
   <var:BookLabelRequest
   portalId="OnlineRetoure"
   deliveryName="Spanien_Var3"
   shipmentReference="ShipRef Nextt"
   customerReference="1.Feld via Webservice"
   labelFormat="PDF"
   senderName1="Willi Webservice"
   senderName2="via Webservice"
   senderCareOfName="careOfName"
   senderContactPhone="0800 123456"
   senderStreet="Webservice Street"
   senderStreetNumber="8080"
   senderBoxNumber="12"
   senderPostalCode="28010"
   senderCity="Madrid"/>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

How can I do this in PHP?

Thanks!

Answer 1

I had the similar problem as well due to sparse examples on how to use SOAP with PHP. Here are a couple of examples that may guide you to developing the SOAP interface.

SOAP is clearly an overkill for many purposes in my opinion.

See NuSoap .

It simplifies the build of WebServices and clients.
