PHP SoapClient() function returning a single XML string
- by gjb
I am having difficulty with the PHP SoapClient() function. The SOAP request is successful, but the response is returned as an object containing a single XML string with the key "any". For example:
<?php
$params = array('strUsername' => 'Test',
'strPassword' => 'Test');
$client=new SoapClient('http://www.example.com/webservice.asmx?wsdl',
array('features' => SOAP_SINGLE_ELEMENT_ARRAYS));
$result = $client->strExampleCall($params);
print_r($result);
?>
This outputs the following:
stdClass Object
(
[strExampleCallResult] => stdClass Object
(
[any] => <Response xmlns="" release="1.0.0" environment="Production" lang="en-GB"><ApplicationArea><Sender><SenderId>0</SenderId><ReferenceId>0</ReferenceId></Sender><Destination><DestinationId>1</DestinationId></Destination></ApplicationArea><DataArea><Result>1</Result></DataArea></Response>
)
)
Subsequently, I cannot access properties of the object as I'd expect to:
echo $result->strExampleCallResult->Response->DataArea->Result;
Why isn't PHP parsing the SOAP response into properties of the returned object?
I am using PHP 5.3.0 and believe the SOAP server is running .NET.
Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
