I am confused with XML-RPC / SOAP and WSDL ... If you have a server with a script/file like test.asmx and some web services ...below example of service format : SOAP 1.2 The following is a sample SOAP 1.2 request and response. The placeholders shown need to be replaced with actual values. ------------------------------------- SAMPLE OF Web Service from the server below : SOAP 1.2 The following is a sample SOAP 1.2 request and response. The placeholders shown need to be replaced with actual values. POST /webservice/GetData.asmx HTTP/1.1 Host: www.theserver.com Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: length <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <soap12:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:soap12="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope";> <soap12:Body> <GetData xmlns="http://localhost/WebService/";> <Input>string</Input> </GetData> </soap12:Body> </soap12:Envelope> HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: length <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <soap12:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:soap12="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope";> <soap12:Body> <GetDataResponse xmlns="http://localhost/WebService/";> <Output>string</Output> </GetDataResponse> </soap12:Body> </soap12:Envelope> ------------------------------------ END OF SAMPLE I spend about most of my time looking at SOAP, XML-RPC and the PHP SOAP extension, like from here: http://tutorial.jcwcn.com/Web-Design/PHP/XML-and-PHP/2008-08-15/10160.html Most of these talk about request to the server and a script with .wsdl extension ... but from the example SOAP 1.2 "framework" above and the fact that the url to the web service is not a .wsdl file but in fact a .asmx file, how on earth to you 1) post a request to the example above. 2) What do you use here now actually ? SOAP/XML-RPC/WSDL ? or is this something else ? Its extremely confusing since this does not seem to fit in with any of the examples, material on the net. I basically need to call the service and pass "string" to the Input parameter and get the response field. Some examples using the PHP Soap class talk about setting the URI, the host and the NS and I don't know from the example SOAP 1.2 fields provided where this should be taken from. Some guidelines to good documentation/howto or tutorials and/or some examples and functions/class would be appreciated immensely Regards -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
