Newbie here - please go easy...

I can get the sample hello web service working for the most part except responding with the input string ($name); that is, I get "Hello !" when it should be "Hello Sam!" where Sam is the input string.

helloServer.php: (remote Linux server)

<?php
require_once('nusoap.php');
$server = new soap_server;
$server->configureWSDL('Test','http://soapinterop.org/');
$server->wsdl->schemaTargetNamespace = 'http://soapinterop.org/xsd/';

$server->register(
'hello',
array('name'=>'xsd:string'),
array('return'=>'xsd:string'),
'http://soapinterop.org/');

function hello($name){
return "Hello $name!";
}

$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA = isset($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA) ?
$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA : '';
$server->service($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA);
?>

helloClient.php:

<?php
require_once('nusoap.php');
$arg = "Sam";
$wsdl = "http://lamp/WC3/helloServer.php?wsdl";
$soap = new soapclient($wsdl,"wsdl");
$proxy = $soap->getProxy();
$result = $proxy->hello($arg);
echo $result;
?>

I also tried with same result:

<?php
require_once('nusoap.php');
$arg = array('name'=>'Sam');
$soap = new soapclient('http://lamp/WC3/helloServer.php');
$result = $soap->call('hello', $arg);
echo $result;
?>

Thanks!

make sure nusoap.php is found by the server.

Thanks for the quick response.

I'm pretty sure the server can find nusoap.php from couple tests:
- when I remove the require_once('nusoap.php') from server file, I get a "msg parsing error"
- when I rename nusoap.php (path /usr/share/pear/), I get a "required file open error" msg.

I've tried updating nusoap.php from 0.6.3 to 1.7.6 and get the same problem - the server script doesn't receive the $name parameter from client script.

Any other ideas?

correction to the previous post -

including nusoap.php 0.6.3 in server file returns the 'Hello' string without the $name string.

including nusoap.php 1.7.6 in server file returns a "xml parsing error"

I should note that both the client and server scripts are on the same server. I can create and successfully consume others' web services, just can't create a simple web service.

I'm sure this is simple but it's driving me nuts!

the server part should look like this



client part can be built using NuSoap wizard that comes with phped or you can just type the code below:



I never experienced any problems with that.
Let me know if you still get any problems.
I also can send you URL to the service that you can test by your own.
