PHP SoapClient example

Would anybody have an example of how to consume the exposed service contracts via PHP ?

Hi

If you are using PHP 5.x then the below code may help as a starting point:

 $wsdl = "http://....../ServiceName.svc?wsdl"; 
 $endpoint = "http://...../ServiceName.svc/endpointName"; 
 $client = new SoapClient($wsdl, array('location'=>$endpoint)); 

 $container = new stdClass(); 

 $container->request->PropertyA = 'Test 1'; 
 $container->request->PropertyB = 'Test 2'; 
 $container->request->PropertyC = '05/10/2010'; 

 $response = $client->ServiceMethodA($container);

request is the name of the parameter expected by the web service/WCF method.

If you have a custom type with references to other custom types you can set those properties as follows:

 $container->request->OtherCustomType->Property1 = 'Test';

Hope that helps.

Hello Kaushal Thanks for this, but tell me one thing which I can do from the singleton that I can do same thing from the static class. Then what is the use of a static class?
