I just had a scenario where one of our client needs to consume our Asp.Net web service in their PHP host application.
Calling Asp.Net web service from PHP turned out to be easier then I thought. Here is how you can do.
First you need to download open source nusoap soap library, and put the lib folder under your application root directory. (I have renamed the folder name lib to nusoap in app directory).
The sample PHP code is below:
<?php
require_once(‘nusoap/nusoap.php’);
$client = new nusoap_client(‘http://www.yourdomain.com/service.asmx?WSDL’, ‘wsdl’,”, ”, ”, ”);
$err = $client->getError();
if ($err) {
echo ‘<h2>Constructor error</h2><pre>’ . $err . ‘</pre>’;
}
$param = ”;
$result = $client->call(‘functionName’, $param, ”, ”, false, true);
if ($client->fault) {
echo ‘<h2>Fault</h2><pre>’;
print_r($result);
echo ‘</pre>’;
} else {
// Check for errors
$err = $client->getError();
if ($err) {
// Display the error
echo ‘<h2>Error</h2><pre>’ . $err . ‘</pre>’;
} else {
// Display the result
echo ‘<h2>Result</h2><pre>’;
print_r($result);
echo ‘</pre>’;
}
}
?>
Of course, you can do much more than this, check out samples provided in downloaded nusoap source.
