http://api.google.com/GoogleSearch.wsdl is correct, first one is not.

if correct url still does not work, check your local firewall settings for the application (php.exe if you run from PhpED).

Google API works perfectly for 1000s customers using nusoap, it's a known fact.
Regarding your problem, it's a pure networking problem.
You just have to adjust your firewall setting. Please consult with Symantec if you use their product and it stops your soap application from working. You may consult with Microsoft if it's XP's fireall blocks you. But sorry, there is nothing I could help you with this Sad

Thank you dmitri,

Please do me a favour , here by i have enclosed my code for ur reference ...please try to run from ur machine and tell me the result...please do this for me.. Thank u very much

my client code:


<html>
<head>
<title>googly.php</title>
</head>
<body>
<?

require_once('../nusoap/lib/nusoap.php');

# Set parameters
$parameters = array(
'key'=>'key here',
// 'q' => $HTTP_GET_VARS['query'],
'q' => 'asdf',
'start' => '0',
'maxResults' => '10',
'filter' => 'false',
'restrict' => '',
'safeSearch' => 'false',
'lr' => '',
'ie' => '',
'oe' => ''
);

//$soapoptions = array('namespace' => 'urn:GoogleSearch','trace' => 0);

# Create a new SOAP client, feeding it GoogleSearch.wsdl on Google's site

$soapclient = new soapclient('http://api.google.com/GoogleSearch.wsdl');

$results = $soapclient->call('doGoogleSearch',$parameters,'urn:GoogleSearch');

$err = $soapclient->getError();

if ($err) {
// Display the error
echo '<h2>Constructor error</h2><pre>' . $err . '</pre>';
// At this point, you know the call that follows will fail
}

//$proxy = $soapclient->getProxy();

# query Google
//$results = $proxy->doGoogleSearch($parameters);

if ($soapclient->fault) {
echo '<h2>Fault</h2><pre>';
print_r($results);
echo '</pre>';
} else {
// Check for errors
$err = $soapclient->getError();
if ($err) {
// Display the error
echo '<h2>Error</h2><pre>' . $err . '</pre>';
} else {
// Display the result
echo '<h2>Result</h2><pre>';
print_r($results);
echo '</pre>';
}
}

# Results?

if (is_array($results['resultElements']) ) {
print "<p>Your Google query for '" . $_POST['search']. "' found " .print_r($results)
. $results['estimatedTotalResultsCount'] . " results, the top ten of which
are:</p>";
foreach ( $results['resultElements'] as $results ) {
print
"<p><a href='" . $results['URL'] . "'>" .
( $results['title'] ? $results['title'] : 'no title' ) .
"</a><br />" . $results['URL'] . "<br />" .
( $results['snippet'] ? $results['snippet'] : 'no snippet' ) .
"</p>";
}
}
# No Results
else {
print "Your Google query for '" . $_POST['search'] . "' returned no results";
}

//Display the request and response
echo '<h2>Request</h2>';
echo '<pre>' . htmlspecialchars($soapclient->request, ENT_QUOTES) . '</pre>';
echo '<h2>Response</h2>';
echo '<pre>' . htmlspecialchars($soapclient->response, ENT_QUOTES) . '</pre>';
// Display the debug messages
echo '<h2>Debug</h2>';
echo '<pre>' . htmlspecialchars($soapclient->debug_str, ENT_QUOTES) . '</pre>';

?>
</body>
</html>

your code works pretty good there.

The only little glitch should be corrected is
$soapclient = new soapclient('http://api.google.com/GoogleSearch.wsdl');
=>
$soapclient = new soapclient('http://api.google.com/GoogleSearch.wsdl', 'wsdl');

but it gets Google's responce without this correction too.

still, you are getting problem with your network, not with code or library.

FYI, if you have Norton firewall, check the list of all applications in Internet Access Control tab, locate all with PHP icon and set "Permit all" or approriate custom settings for them.
