How to build a correct SOAP request with PHP

Question

I need to format/build a request for this SOAP \"service\": http://api.notificationmessaging.com/NMSOAP/NotificationService?wsdl

Ideally I would like to use the nati

Answer 1

"Is there a more direct approach where I could write the XML?"

By using a SoapVar and setting the encode parameter of the constructor to XSD_ANYXML you can write the raw XML.

There should be a way where the WSDL helps build the XML though.

You could try something like this:

$wsdl   = "http://api.notificationmessaging.com/NMSOAP/NotificationService?wsdl"; 
$client = new SoapClient($wsdl, array(  'soap_version' => SOAP_1_1,
                                        'trace' => true,
                                      )); 
try {

    $xml = '<arg0>
            <content>
                <entry>
                    <key>1</key>
                    <value>
                    <![CDATA[
                    <table width="600">
                    <tr>
                    <td>
                    <font size="2" face="Arial">Our powerful algorithms already
                    found a matching profile that matches your criteria:
                    <br>Celina72&nbsp;</font>
                    <img src="http://mypath/to/my/image.gif" width="50"
                    height="50" border="0" />
                    </td>]]></value>
                </entry>
            </content>
            <dyn>
                <entry>
                    <key>FIRSTNAME</key>
                    <value>john</value>
                </entry>
            </dyn>
            <email>johnblum@flowerpower.com</email>
            <encrypt>BdX7CqkmjSivyBgIcZoN4sPVLkx7FaXGiwsO</encrypt>
            <notificationId>6464</notificationId>
            <random>985A8B992601985A</random>
            <senddate>2008-12-12T00:00:00</senddate>
            <synchrotype>NOTHING</synchrotype>
            <uidkey>EMAIL</uidkey>
        </arg0>';

    $args = array(new SoapVar($xml, XSD_ANYXML));    
    $res  = $client->__soapCall('sendObject', $args);
    return $res;
} catch (SoapFault $e) {
    echo "Error: {$e}";
}

echo "<hr>Last Request";
echo "<pre>", htmlspecialchars($client->__getLastRequest()), "</pre>";

Answer 2

i know that the topic is about 1 year old, but i find some good informations in it, that give me a very good help , and i finaly succed to make it work with the php method sendObject() so i hope my contribution will help others people too...

at first the call of sendObject() this way : $client->__soapCall seems not working at all you have to call it directly : $client->sendObject

in this topic, i think that it is a using of the API of emailvision (smartfocus, now...) this method sendObject does not need a generated token by openApiConnection()

oki, now , it is the code to make it work

<?php


    $email = 'johann.******@gmail.com';
    $encrypt = '******************************';
    $notification_id = '**************';
    $random = '********************';
    $senddate = '2013-09-09T00:00:00';
    $synchrotype = 'NOTHING';
    $uidkey = 'EMAIL';


    $params = array(
        'arg0' => array(
            'content' => array( 1 => 'mon_test'),
            'dyn' => array( 'FIRSTNAME' => 'yoyo'),
            'email' => $email,
            'encrypt' => $encrypt,
            'notificationId' => $notification_id,
            'random' => $random,
            'senddate' => $senddate,
            'synchrotype' => $synchrotype,
            'uidkey' => $uidkey
        )
    );


    $client = new       SoapClient('http://api.notificationmessaging.com/NMSOAP/NotificationService?wsdl', array(  'trace' => 1, 'exceptions' => 0  ) );

    $res = $client->sendObject( $params );

echo "<br /><br /><br />";
echo "REQUEST 1 :" . htmlspecialchars($client->__getLastRequest()) . "<br />";
echo "RESPONSE 1 :" . htmlspecialchars($client->__getLastResponse()) . "<br /><br /><br />";

?>

you have to know that $encrypt ,$notification_id , $random are generated by creating a transactionnal message, you can get this informations in the interface of campagn commander

take care of the schema of input xml, there is a node arg0, then you have to make a level arg0 in your array parameters

to make it work directly with xml :

<?php
$wsdl   = "http://api.notificationmessaging.com/NMSOAP/NotificationService?wsdl"; 
$client = new SoapClient($wsdl, array(  'soap_version' => SOAP_1_1, 'trace' => true,  )); 
try {

    $xml = '

            <ns1:sendObject>
                <arg0>

                    <content>
                        <entry>
                            <key>1</key>
                            <value>
                                <![CDATA[
                                <table width="600">
                                <tr>
                                <td>
                                <font size="2" face="Arial">Our powerful algorithms already found a matching profile that matches your criteria:
                                <br>Celina72&nbsp;</font>
                                <img src="http://mypath/to/my/image.gif" width="50" height="50" border="0" />
                                </td>]]>
                            </value>
                        </entry>
                    </content>

                    <dyn>
                        <entry>
                            <key>FIRSTNAME</key>
                            <value>john</value>
                        </entry>
                    </dyn>

                    <email>johann*******@gmail.com</email>
                    <encrypt>*********************</encrypt>
                    <notificationId>**************</notificationId>
                    <random>**********************</random>
                    <senddate>2008-12-12T00:00:00</senddate>
                    <synchrotype>NOTHING</synchrotype>
                    <uidkey>EMAIL</uidkey>

                </arg0>
            </ns1:sendObject>



        ';

    $args = array(new SoapVar($xml, XSD_ANYXML));    
    $res  = $client->__soapCall('sendObject', $args);
    //return $res;
} 
catch (SoapFault $e) {
    echo "Error: {$e}";
}

echo "<hr>Last Request";
echo "<pre>", htmlspecialchars($client->__getLastRequest()), "</pre>";

echo "<hr>Last Response";
echo "<pre>", htmlspecialchars($client->__getLastResponse()), "</pre>";

?>

it s important to write the first node like this : <ns1:sendObject>

<api:sendObject> does not work
