What's the SoapClient alternative?

SoapClient is a built-in PHP support for SOAP however my host doesn't compile PHP with it.

http://www.php.net/soap

I need an alternative to create SOAP clients and deal with SOAP requests. Is there any specific libraries can substitute SoapClient?

 

AFAIK Nusoap is the most popular PHP library for SOAP.

 

Thanks. Just downloaded nusoap and it's great only I don't know how to write client with complexType in WSDL.


Such as with the following WSDL:

SOAP;

$client = new soapclient('https://product.api.cj.com/wsdl/version2/productSearchServiceV2.wsdl', true);

$result = $client->call('search', array('parameters' => $soap));

if ($result) {
   echo 'true';
} else {
   echo 'false';
}
?> 

PHP:

The problem is $result constantly turns out to be false. What am I doing wrong?

=( Please does anybody here have any previous experience with NuSOAP?

 

Wrong. You do not need to encode SOAP envelope yourself. Use it this way:

$result = $client->call('search', array('parameters' => array('developerKey'=>'mykey', 'websiteid'=>1234, ...)));

PHP:

 

That's a lifesaver, dude! Rep added!

Thanks again! =)
