The SoapServer class

(PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

Introduction

The SoapServer class provides a server for the » SOAP 1.1 and » SOAP 1.2 protocols. It can be used with or without a WSDL service description.

Class synopsis

class SoapServer {
/* Properties */
private ?SoapFault $__soap_fault = null;
/* Methods */
public __construct(?string $wsdl, array $options = [])
public addFunction(array|string|int $functions): void
public addSoapHeader(SoapHeader $header): void
public fault(
    string $code,
    string $string,
    string $actor = "",
    mixed $details = null,
    string $name = ""
): void
public handle(?string $request = null): void
public setClass(string $class, mixed ...$args): void
public setObject(object $object): void
public setPersistence(int $mode): void
}

While there are plenty of mentions online that SoapServer doesn't support SOAP Headers, this isn't true.

In your class, if you declare a function with the name of the header, the function will be called when that header is received.

<?php
class MySoapService {
private
$user_is_valid;

function
MyHeader($header) {
if ((isset(
$header->Username)) && (isset($header->Password))) {
if (
ValidateUser($header->Username, $header->Password)) {
$user_is_valid = true;
}
}
}

function
MySoapRequest($request) {
if (
$user_is_valid) {
// process request
}
else {
throw new
MyFault("MySoapRequest", "User not valid.");
}
}
}
?>

If you want to run dummy SoapServer as a daemon for tests on linux, you need to:

1. Set up location "localhost:12312/soapServer.php" in your wsdl like:

<wsdl:service name="ServiceName">
<wsdl:port name="ServiceNamePort" binding="tns:ServiceNameBinding">
<soap:address location="http://localhost:12312/soapServer.php" />
</wsdl:port>
</wsdl:service>

2. Write your test server like:

<?php
/*
* Server
*/
class TestSoapServer
{
public function
getMessage()
{
return
'Hello, World!';
}
}
$options = ['uri' => 'http://localhost:12312/'];
$server = new SoapServer(null, $options);
$server->setClass('TestSoapServer');
$server->handle();

?>

3. Run it with `php -S localhost:12312` (in the same folder)

Whenever you make a request according to your wsdl, it will end up at your "server".

SoapServer does not support WSDL with literal/document. I have a class:

<?php
class My_Soap {
/**
* Returns Hello World.
*
* @param string $world
* @return string
*/
public function getInterAdmins($world) {
return
'hello' . $world;
}
}
?>

To fix this I had to create proxy class:
<?php
class My_Soap_LiteralDocumentProxy {
public function
__call($methodName, $args) {
$soapClass = new My_Soap();
$result = call_user_func_array(array($soapClass, $methodName), $args[0]);
return array(
$methodName . 'Result' => $result);
}
}
?>

Now make sure that the WSDL is created using My_Soap. And that the Server is created using My_Soap_LiteralDocumentProxy:

<?php

if (isset($_GET['wsdl'])) {
$wsdl = new Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover(); // It generates the WSDL
$wsdl->setOperationBodyStyle(array(
'use' => 'literal'
));
$wsdl->setBindingStyle(array(
'style' => 'document'
));
$wsdl->setClass('My_Soap');
$wsdl->handle();
} else {
$server = new Zend_Soap_Server('http://localhost/something/webservice.php?wsdl');
$server->setClass('My_Soap_LiteralDocumentProxy');
$server->handle();
}

?>

I posted in this URL http://softontherocks.blogspot.com/2014/02/web-service-soap-con-php.html a full example of a nusoap web service.

There is defined the server and the cliente who calls the web service.

I hope it would be useful for you.

Do not put a SoapServer and a SoapClient in the same PHP file. This seems to cause arbitrary behavior. On the PHP interpreter in Eclipse, everything worked fine. Under MAMP, I got an undocumented error. In moving the client from the same file as the server, everything worked fine.

I was running PHP 5.3.2 and couldn't for the life of me get SOAP headers to work, no matter how carefully I built my class/wsdl/client. What finally fixed it was updating to the latest PHP. No idea if there was a bug somewhere or what, but it's never a bad idea to stay current and it might save you weeks of frustration!

Another simple example for SOAP_SERVER with errorhandling an params and wsdl:

SERVER (soap_all_srv.php):

<?php
// PEAR::SOAP einbinden
require_once "SOAP/Server.php";
$skiptrace =& PEAR::getStaticProperty('PEAR_Error', 'skiptrace');
$skiptrace = true;

// Service-Class
class mytimeserv {

// __dispatch_map
public $__dispatch_map = array ();

// In/Out param -> __dispatch_map
public function __construct() {
$this->__dispatch_map["now"] =
array (
"in" => array("format" => "string"),
"out" => array("time" => "string"));
}

// get back __dispatch_map in __dispatch
public function __dispatch($methodname) {

if (isset(
$this->__dispatch_map[$methodname])) {
return
$this->__dispatch_map[$methodname];
}

return
NULL;
}

// servicemthod with parameters
function now ($format) {

// formaterror?
if (($format == null) || (trim($format) == "")) {

// send errormessage
return new SOAP_Fault("Kein Parameter angegeben","0815", "Client");
}

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Berlin');

$time = date ($format);

// return SOAP-Obj.
return (new SOAP_Value('time','string', $time));
}
}

// service-class
$service = new mytimeserv();

// server
$ss = new SOAP_Server();

// add service with name
$ss->addObjectMap (&$service,"urn:mytimeserv");

// service or wsdl
if (isset($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"])&& $_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {

// postdata -> service
$ss->service ($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA);

} else {

// wsdl-param in url
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) && strcasecmp($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'],'wsdl') == 0) {

// DISCO_Server for WSDL
require_once "SOAP/Disco.php";
$disco = new SOAP_DISCO_Server ($ss,"mytimeserv","My Time Service");

// set HTML-Header
header("Content-type: text/xml");

// return wsdl
print $disco->getWSDL ();
}
}

?>

CLIENT (soap_all_client.php) (for wsdl: http://example.com/soap_all_srv.php?wsdl):
<?php

require_once "SOAP/Client.php";

// SOAP/WSDL
$sw = new SOAP_WSDL ("http://example.com/soap_all_srv.php?wsdl");

// Proxy-Obj.
$proxy = $sw->getProxy ();

// servicemthod
$erg = $proxy->now ("H:i:s");

// return
print $erg."\n";

?>
