SOAP CLIENT IN CODEIGNITER USING NUSOAP PHP TOOLKIT

To create SOAP client in CodeIgniter, it is better to use NuSOAP (SOAP Toolkit for PHP).

Download NuSOAP Toolkit from this URL: Download

Below are the steps to create SOAP client in CodeIgniter using NuSOAP PHP Toolkit.

Step 1: After downloading NuSOAP toolkit, copy “lib” and “nusoap” folder in “application/library/” folder.

Step 2: Create one library file say “nusoap_library.php” in “application/library” folder and copy and paste below given code in “application/library/nusoap_library.php” file. It just includes “nusoap.php” library file from “lib” folder.

class Nusoap_library {    function Nusoap_library()    {        require_once('lib/nusoap'.EXT);    } }

Step 3: SOAP request function. Copy and paste below given function to “application/library/nusoap_library.php” file.

function soaprequest($api_url, $api_username, $api_password, $service, $params) {     if ($api_url != '' && $service != '' && count($params) > 0)     {         $wsdl = $api_url."?wsdl";         $client = new nusoap_client($wsdl, 'wsdl');         $client->setCredentials($api_username,$api_password);         $error = $client->getError();         if ($error)         {             echo "\nSOAP Error\n".$error."\n";             return false;         }         else         {             $result = $client->call($service, $params);             if ($client->fault)             {                 print_r($result);                 return false;             }             else             {                 $result_arr = json_decode($result, true);                 $return_array = $result_arr['result'];                 return $return_array;             }         }     } }

Step 4: To send SOAP request to SOAP web service method, we need to load NuSOAP library in Controller where we want to use SOAP client.

1	$this->load->library("Nusoap_lib", "");

Step 5: SOAP service call in Controller

$api_url = WEBSERVICE_URL; // ex. http://www.example.com/index.php/soapserver $api_username = AUTHENTICATION USERNAME; $api_password = AUTHENTICATION PASSWORD; $service = "addnumbers"; // from my POST <a href="http://www.dharamart.in/2013/soap-server-in-codeigniter-using-nusoap-library/" target="_blank">SOAP Server In CodeIgniter using NuSOAP PHP Toolkit</a> $params = array('a' => 5, 'b' => 10); // input parameters to "addnumbers" medhod if ($api_url != '') {     $result = $this->nusoap_lib->soaprequest($api_url, $api_username, $api_password, trim($service), $params);     if (is_array($result) && count($result) > 0)     {         print_r($result);     } }

Hope this post will help you !!!
