Having trouble getting my head around SOAP in PHP

Question

Well here is the API I\'m trying to use: http://www.hotelscombined.com/api/LiveRates.asmx?op=HotelSearch

Here is the code I\'ve tried:

$client = new          


        

Answer 1

Try making a PHP object, then referencing that object in your soap call.

class HotelRequest {
   public $apiKey;
   public $userID;
   public $userAgent;
   public $userIPAddress;
   public $hotelID;
   public $checkin;
   public $checkout;
   public $guests;
   public $rooms;
   public $languageCode;
   public $displayCurrency;
   public $timeOutInSeconds;  
}

//set the values of the object...
$hotelRequestObject = new HotelRequest();
$hotelRequestObject->apiKey = "API_KEY";
//etc...

$client = new SoapClient('http://www.hotelscombined.com/api/LiveRates.asmx?WSDL',
    array("classmap" => array("HotelSearchRequest" => "HotelRequest")));

$result = $client->HotelSearch($hotelRequestObject);

var_dump($result);
