Debugging PHP SOAP call

Question

I am new to SOAP and dealing with a web service where it would seem no one has interfaced using PHP previously. They have no example code excepting C# but I do have that.

for debug purpose you can use Fiddler web debuger. I found it quite useful. In these days I'm working on a project based on .net web services, and I have to consume them via PHP. This is a working (and very simple) piece of code. Hope this can help you. The purpose of this piece of code is to check a status on a specific record.

This is the wsdl

POST /b1synccontext.asmx HTTP/1.1
Host: 00.00.00.0
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: length
SOAPAction: "http://tempuri.org/QueueEntryGetStatus"



  
    
      int
    
  

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: length



  
    
      int
    
  

This is the php code

$client = new SoapClient("http://YOURIP/yourservice.asmx?wsdl",array(
                        'exceptions'=>true,
                        'cache_wsdl'=>WSDL_CACHE_NONE,
                        'encoding'=>'utf-8'));
$params = array(
    'BuffID' => 134
    );

try 
    {
        $result = $client->QueueEntryGetStatus($params);
        $status = $result->QueueEntryGetStatusResult;
        /*do something*/ 
    } 
    catch (Exception $e) 
    {
        $e -> getMessage();
        /*do something*/
    }
