Connecting through PHP

This article provides sample PHP code that allows you to connect to the WebServices API (SOAP). The connection is done using a Zend HTTP Client.

Thanks to eternalcage.eu and Tomáš Friedrich for providing the sample code.

Request Method

This method sends a general request to the SOAP API.

Request

protected function ProcessRequest( $assembly, $soapAction, $function, $xml, $debug = false)
{
    // initialize the client for the SOAP call
    $client = new Zend_Http_Client($this->_config['host'].$assembly);
    $client->setAuth( $this->_config['user'], $this->_config['password']);
    $client->setHeaders("SOAPAction", $soapAction.$function);
    $client->setRawData($xml, 'text/xml; charset=utf-8');

    // send request and receive a response
    $response = $client->request("POST");
    
    // ...
}

Sample Request

public function DataService_LoadData0($dataStructureID,$filterID="",$sortSetID="",$defaultSetID="")
{
    $xml = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>".
        "<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\"
xmlns:asap=\"http://asapenginewebapi.advantages.cz/\">".
            "<soapenv:Body>".
                "<asap:LoadData0>".
                    "<asap:dataStructureId>".$dataStructureID."</asap:dataStructureId>".
                    "<asap:filterId>".$filterID."</asap:filterId>".
                    "<asap:sortSetId>".$sortSetID."</asap:sortSetId>".
                    "<asap:defaultSetId>".$defaultSetID."</asap:defaultSetId>".
                "</asap:LoadData0>".
            "</soapenv:Body>".
        "</soapenv:Envelope>";

    $response = $this->ProcessRequest("dataservice.asmx", "http://asapenginewebapi.advantages.cz/", "LoadData0", $xml);
    return $response;
}
