[chiPHPug-discuss] SOAP and PHP5

[Peter S. <sn...@gm...>]

Hi everyone,

I'm using PHP5 SOAP extension to develop a web app that uses PayPal's  
ExpressCheckout system.  The headers need to look like:

<SOAP-ENV:Header>
	<RequesterCredentials xmlns=”urn:ebay:api:PayPalAPI”  
xsi:type=”ebl:CustomSecurityHeaderType”>
		<Credentials xmlns=”urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents”  
xsi:type=”ebl:UserIdPasswordType”>
			<Username>api_username</Username>
			etc....

which is no problem except I can't figure out how to add the "type"  
attribute to the 'RequesterCredentials element.  I can use the SoapVar  
to get the "type" attribute into the Credentials element, but as far  
as I can tell no equivalent option exists for the SoapHeader method,  
which I need to call to create RequesterCredentials in the first place.

Does anyone with more experience with the PHP SOAP extension have any  
ideas on how I could accomplish this?  I know how to do it in NuSOAP  
(since you can create custom, verbatim headers there) but I can stay  
with the native solution and not have to rip up what I've done already.

Anyway, if anyone has any thoughts or suggestions, they'd be much  
appreciated.

Thanks!
Pete
