Issues using a Fedex Webservice via WDSL/SOAP
- by Parris
Hi Everyone,
I downloaded the sample code to request a rate from fedex's website... i placed the WSDL file in the proper location, I have my acct number, password, meter number, and key. When I run the script I get this error:
Error in processing transaction.
ERROR
prof
1000
Authentication Failed
The script they give is as follows, and yes i do actually replace the XXX and YYY everywhere it says.:
<?php
// Copyright 2009, FedEx Corporation. All rights reserved.
// Version 7.0.0
require_once('fedex-common.php5');
$newline = "<br />";
//The WSDL is not included with the sample code.
//Please include and reference in $path_to_wsdl variable.
$path_to_wsdl = "RateService_v7.wsdl";
ini_set("soap.wsdl_cache_enabled", "0");
$client = new SoapClient($path_to_wsdl, array('trace' => 1)); // Refer to http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.soap.php for more information
$request['WebAuthenticationDetail'] = array('UserCredential' =>
array('Key' => 'XXX', 'Password' => 'YYY')); // Replace 'XXX' and 'YYY' with FedEx provided credentials
$request['ClientDetail'] = array('AccountNumber' => 'XXX', 'MeterNumber' => 'YYY');// Replace 'XXX' with your account and meter number
$request['TransactionDetail'] = array('CustomerTransactionId' => ' *** Rate Request v7 using PHP ***');
$request['Version'] = array('ServiceId' => 'crs', 'Major' => '7', 'Intermediate' => '0', 'Minor' => '0');
$request['ReturnTransitAndCommit'] = true;
$request['RequestedShipment']['DropoffType'] = 'REGULAR_PICKUP'; // valid values REGULAR_PICKUP, REQUEST_COURIER, ...

$request['RequestedShipment']['Shipper'] = array('Address' => array(
'StreetLines' => array('10 Fed Ex Pkwy'), // Origin details
'City' => 'Memphis',
'StateOrProvinceCode' => 'TN',
'PostalCode' => '38115',
'CountryCode' => 'US'));
$request['RequestedShipment']['Recipient'] = array('Address' => array (
'StreetLines' => array('13450 Farmcrest Ct'), // Destination details
'City' => 'Herndon',
'StateOrProvinceCode' => 'VA',
'PostalCode' => '20171',
'CountryCode' => 'US'));
$request['RequestedShipment']['ShippingChargesPayment'] = array('PaymentType' => 'SENDER',
'Payor' => array('AccountNumber' => 'XXX', // Replace 'XXX' with payor's account number
'CountryCode' => 'US'));
$request['RequestedShipment']['RateRequestTypes'] = 'ACCOUNT';
$request['RequestedShipment']['RateRequestTypes'] = 'LIST';
$request['RequestedShipment']['PackageCount'] = '2';
$request['RequestedShipment']['PackageDetailSpecified'] = true;
$request['RequestedShipment']['PackageDetail'] = 'INDIVIDUAL_PACKAGES'; // Or PACKAGE_SUMMARY
$request['RequestedShipment']['RequestedPackageLineItems'] = array('0' => array('Weight' => array('Value' => 2.0,
'Units' => 'LB'),
'Dimensions' => array('Length' => 10,
'Width' => 10,
'Height' => 3,
'Units' => 'IN')),
'1' => array('Weight' => array('Value' => 5.0,
'Units' => 'LB'),
'Dimensions' => array('Length' => 20,
'Width' => 20,
'Height' => 10,
'Units' => 'IN')));
try
{
$response = $client ->getRates($request);
if ($response -> HighestSeverity != 'FAILURE' && $response -> HighestSeverity != 'ERROR')
{
printRequestResponse($client);
}
else
{
echo 'Error in processing transaction.'. $newline. $newline;
foreach ($response -> Notifications as $notification)
{
if(is_array($response -> Notifications))
{
echo $notification -> Severity;
echo ': ';
echo $notification -> Message . $newline;
}
else
{
echo $notification . $newline;
}
}
}
writeToLog($client); // Write to log file
} catch (SoapFault $exception) {
printFault($exception, $client);
}
?>
I am not quite sure why it isn't working, i've read about using a proxy, but I am not quite sure how i would use it in this case? Isn't the point of using SOAP and WSDL to avoid using CURL, Direct Connect type stuff?
