[Harald R. <har...@nm...>]

hi brad,

looks promising. if you intend to port it to php5 (one day ;) pease take
a look at ext/rpc first which is intended to be a framework for exactly
such extensions as the soap toolkit.

what is the uri for in the soap constructor for?...
currently the first parameter is the uri of the proxy.

$client = new SoapObject("http://proxy.endpoint.com:8080/test.php",
"urn:test");
that is the use without wsdls...
or
$client = new SoapObject("http://proxy.endpoint.com:8080/test.wsdl");
then the wsdl will have to define the endpoint

 Yeah i understand the problems with this.... I'm not sure how this would work
seeing that when you use a WSDL this is taken care of.

$soapobject = new SoapObject("http://www.server.com/server.wsdl");
$soapobject->getData();

if the wsdl defines the getData method in uppercase then it will send
<getData .... instead of <getdata ....

Most soap implementations use wsdl's now-a-days.

But i will keep that in mind.

 Again when using wsdl's it will use the name of the parameter that the wsdl
supplies it. If this is a huge consern that the server you are talking to
doesn't use wsdls and needs named parameters. give me the implementation and
specfics and ill look into it further.


I tried to make the client code clean as possible with out stuff like
$soap->call_method("getData");
and
$soap->set_param_name("data");

it is soo much cleaner to read
$soap->getData();

and the functionality is there when using wsdls.

 thanks for the feedback....

Let me know if you still have a consern about the above issues if the wsdl
support does do what you will need.

[PHP-SOAP-DEV] [PHP-DEV] [NEW-EXTENSION]ext/soap : first play around ...

[phpsurf <ph...@if...>]

Hi !

I just started to play with your new extension as soon as I saw your mail
this morning on PHP-DEV !

It's really a good job and I am very impatient to play with the final
release ...

here are a few suggestions/bugs/requests to help you make this ext really
great :

- nice to have : a proxy set up for soap requests
something like :

$client = new SoapObject("uri", "urn");
$client->setProxy("proxyUri", 8080);
...

- bug : but this bug way come from PHP and not from the ext ...
this deals with case-sensitivity of function names !
this reminds me a quite long thread on PHP-DEV about that a few weeks ago !
:)

$myObject = new
SoapObject("http://www.localhost.com/PhpSoapToolkit/samples/object-server-sr
c.php", "urn:Object");
echo $myObject->getData();

the method name getData is used to write the XML request ...
but as function names are not case sensitive, this gives the following XML
tag :
<getdata xmlns="urn:Object" ...

and then this doesn't work when you try to call a SOAP server that is not
writen in PHP !
because in SOAP, method names are case-sensitive !

- important feature : the ability to pass named parameters ...
insteed of having parameters called param0, param1, param2, ... it would be
very usefull to have the ability to specify the name of the parameter.
once again, this would allow to be SOAP-compliant with other systems not
running PHP.

that's all for the moment :)

once again, good job !
