Soap Request in PHP With Curl

SOAP request in PHP with CURL

Tested and working!

• with https, user & password

   <?php 
   //Data, connection, auth
   $dataFromTheForm = $_POST['fieldName']; // request data from the form
   $soapUrl = "https://connecting.website.com/soap.asmx?op=DoSomething"; // asmx URL of WSDL
   $soapUser = "username";  //  username
   $soapPassword = "password"; // password
  
   // xml post structure
  
   $xml_post_string = '<?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>
                       </soap:Envelope>';   // data from the form, e.g. some ID number
  
      $headers = array(
                   "Content-type: text/xml;charset=\"utf-8\"",
                   "Accept: text/xml",

                   "SOAPAction: http://connecting.website.com/WSDL_Service/GetPrice", 
                   "Content-length: ".strlen($xml_post_string),
               ); //SOAPAction: your op URL
  
       $url = $soapUrl;
  
       // PHP cURL  for https connection with auth
       $ch = curl_init();
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 1);
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $soapUser.":".$soapPassword); // username and password - declared at the top of the doc
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_ANY);
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $xml_post_string); // the SOAP request
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
  
       // converting
       $response = curl_exec($ch); 
       curl_close($ch);

Soap requests with Curl PHP

After struggling for a week I was able to find something in this tutorial here on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6V_myufS89A and I was able to send requests to the API successifuly, first read my xml format above before continuing with my solution

     $options = array('trace'=> true, "exception" => 0);

    $client  = new \SoapClient('your url to wsdl',$options);

   //if you have Authorization parameters in your xml like mine above use SoapVar and SoapHeader as me below

    $params = new \stdClass();
    $params->alisonOrgId = 'value here';
    $params->alisonOrgKey = 'value here';

    $authentication_parameters = new \SoapVar($params,SOAP_ENC_OBJECT);

    $header = new \SoapHeader('your url to wsdl','credentials',$authentication_parameters);

    $client->__setSoapHeaders(array($header));


   print_r($client->__soapCall("Function here",'Function parameter here or left it as null if has no parameter'));

    //or call your function by

     print_r($client->yourFunction($function_parameters));

    }

Hope this will help someone out there struggling with soap requests that contains authentication informations

How can I send SOAP XML via Curl and PHP?

Thanx a lot buddy, your code has worked for me.

Here is the code:

$soap_do = curl_init(); 
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_URL,            $url );   
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 10); 
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT,        10); 
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true );
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);  
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false); 
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_POST,           true ); 
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,    $post_string); 
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,     array('Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8', 'Content-Length: '.strlen($post_string) )); 
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $user . ":" . $password);

$result = curl_exec($soap_do);
$err = curl_error($soap_do);  

In PHP how to send signed xml as soap request using curl

Code
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $message);
replaced with
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, file_get_contents('soapRequest.xml'))

And it started working fine.

Instead of specifying value of file in $message variable and then setting $message in CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, now using file_get_contents() to read file and set CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS.

Taken hint from PHP cURL: how to set body to binary data?

PHP cURL submit to WSDL SOAP environment

Here are just some comments:

Try to disable the SSL check (just for testing):

curl_setopt($ch2, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch2, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);

You should call curl_close($ch2); as last. Example:

$output2 = curl_exec($ch2); 

if(curl_errno($ch2))
    echo curl_error($ch2);
} else {
    echo $output2;
}

curl_close($ch2); // <--- close here

You could also try the Zend SOAP library.

If you don't like CURL try Guzzle to make an HTTP request.
