I was looking for way to perform form (post) request with SOAP using jQuery/AJAX.
I have found following solution for jQuery/AJAX SOAP request with ColdFusion background.
Posting XML SOAP Requests With jQuery
Anyone know how to implement that with PHP?
Please note:
Any help/suggestion much appreciated.
SOAP request example:
<?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
$xml_post_string = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<GetItemPrice xmlns="http://connecting.website.com/WSDL_Service"> // xmlns value to be set to your's WSDL URL
<PRICE>'.$dataFromTheForm.'</PRICE> // data from the form, e.g. some ID number
</GetItemPrice >
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>';
$headers = array(
"Content-type: text/xml;charset=\"utf-8\"",
"Accept: text/xml",
"Cache-Control: no-cache",
"Pragma: no-cache",
"SOAPAction: http://connecting.website.com/WSDL_Service/GetPrice", // your op URL
"Content-length: ".strlen($xml_post_string),
);
$url = $soapUrl;
// PHP cURL for https connection with auth
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
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, $xml_post_string); // XML REQUEST
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
// converting
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
// converting
$response1 = str_replace("<soap:Body>","",$response);
$response2 = str_replace("</soap:Body>","",$response1);
// convertingc to XML
$parser = simplexml_load_string($response2);
?>
Displaying single result example:
$getPrice = $parser->GetItemPriceResponse->PRICE;
if($getPrice) { // if found based on our $_POST entry echo the result
echo $getPrice;
} else { // if not found, echo error
echo "Sorry. No price tag for this item.";
}
Displaying multiple results example:
$getPrice = $parser->GetItemPriceResponse->PRICE;
if($getPrice) { // if found more than 0, return as a select dropdown
echo "<form action='soapMoreDetails.php' method='post'>";
echo "<select name='priceMoreDetails'>";
foreach ($parser->GetItemPriceResponse as $item) {
echo '<option value="'.$item->PRICE.'">';
echo $item->PriceBasedOnSize; // for e.g. different prices for different sizes
echo '</option>';
}
echo "</select>";
echo "<input type='submit'>";
echo "</form>";
} else {
echo "Sorry. No records found.";
}
