Hi all,

ok, I am a little bit new to the SOAP game, but I understand it, and 
am using it to talk to an outside API.

The problem that I have is that the server that I am talking to (that 
is not in my control), will accept the following SOAP call

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; 
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; 
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";>
 <soap:Body>
   <AuthenticateTest xmlns="https://api.authorize.net/soap/v1/";>
     <merchantAuthentication>
       <name>name</name>
       <transactionKey>string</transactionKey>
     </merchantAuthentication>
   </AuthenticateTest>
 </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

But it refuses a call that I have made using the SOAPClient PHP 
classes that look like this :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope 
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; 
xmlns:ns1="https://api.authorize.net/soap/v1/";>
 <SOAP-ENV:Body>
   <ns1:AuthenticateTest>
     <merchantAuthentication>
       <name>name</name>
       <transactionKey>string</transactionKey>
     </merchantAuthentication>
   </ns1:AuthenticateTest>
 </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

It appears that the one that PHP creates is all in line with all of 
the latest standards, and I know that the server is a Microsoft IIS 
server.

Does anyone know any parameters that I can use with the PHP SOAP 
client that could help me contruct the request like the top one???

I don't want to have to build the text myself, and open a socket and 
send the text manually like I did to verify that the top one works, 
and the bottom one doesn't.

Thanks,

Tim.

Hi Tim,

I think you can try this scenario using the WSF-PHP extension in 
http://wso2.org/projects/wsf/php. <http://wso2.org/projects/wsf/php>
