change soap prefixes in php

Question

i\'m rewriting a soap web service from .net to php. by default, php is giving me tags that look like this:

Answer 1

After re-reading what it is you want and searching through the php documentation here is my solution and a couple of assumptions that I made

Assumptions

• If I'm correct you are aware that the SOAP prefix itself isn't the issue (you are allowed to use any prefix as long as it is consistent).
• We need to create a work-around for this specific Iphone app that makes use of a (xml) parser that currently can not be modified/upgraded by you

What do you want?

1. You would like to use a native API to alter the SOAP prefix
2. You want to catch the SoapServer response so you can alter the SOAP prefix before it is being returned

Solution

1. Currently there is no native SoapServer API method to alter the SOAP prefix
2. You can catch the SoapServer response and process the response either by regex or xml parser see example below

formatOutput = true;
    $xml->preserveWhiteSpace = false;
    $xml->loadXML($input);
    //Do replacement have a looke at: DOMNode::replaceChild

    //return modified output to client
    return $xml->saveXML();
}

// Make php buffer all output
// Send all output to a callBack function

// Replace 'SoapServerRegexParser' with the callback function name of choice
ob_start('SoapServerRegexParser'); //buffer output and set callback function

// Create SoapServer
$server = new SoapServer('wsdlfile.wsdl');
$server->handle(); //Handle incoming request
ob_end_flush(); //Release buffer, but send through callback function first

?>

This should do the trick, I haven't created the regex part or the actual xlm node replacement but I figure you can do that yourself
