SOAP Functions

Introduction

The SOAP extension can be used to write SOAP Servers and Clients. It supports subsets of » SOAP 1.1, » SOAP 1.2 and » WSDL 1.1 specifications.

Requirements

This extension makes use of the » GNOME xml library. Download and install this library. You will need at least libxml-2.5.4.

Installation

This extension is only available if PHP was configured with --enable-soap.

Runtime Configuration

The behaviour of these functions is affected by settings in php.ini.

Table 292. SOAP Configuration Options

For further details and definitions of the PHP_INI_* constants, see the Appendix I, php.ini directives.

Here's a short explanation of the configuration directives.

soap.wsdl_cache_enabled boolean

Enables or disables the WSDL caching feature.

soap.wsdl_cache_dir string

Sets the directory name where the SOAP extension will put cache files.

soap.wsdl_cache_ttl int

Sets the number of seconds (time to live) that cached files will be used instead the originals.

soap.wsdl_cache_limit integer

Maximum number of in memory cached wsdl files

Predefined Classes

SoapClient

SoapFault

Constructor

SoapHeader

SoapHeader is a special low-level class for passing or returning SOAP headers. It's just a data holder and it does not have any special methods except its constructor. It can be used in the SoapClient->__soapCall() method to pass a SOAP header or in a SOAP header handler to return the header in a SOAP response.

Constructor

SoapParam

SoapParam is a special low-level class for naming parameters and returning values in non-WSDL mode. It's just a data holder and it does not have any special methods except its constructor.

Constructor

SoapServer

Constructor

Methods

SoapVar

SoapVar is a special low-level class for encoding parameters and returning values in non-WSDL mode. It's just a data holder and does not have any special methods except the constructor. It's useful when you want to set the type property in SOAP request or response.
