Getting response from SOAP in php

Question

I am trying to response from web service using SOAP in php.Actually its paid API fore booking flights.I have two cases for my problem,in both cases i didnt get the response properly.

Here is the code

        try{
        $client = new SoapClient($url);
        print_r($client->__getFunctions());
        $values = $client->getAvailability($input_xml);
        print_r($values);
        }catch(exception $e){
            echo 'error<br>';
            echo $e->getMessage();
        }

CASE 1

$url=http://59.162.33.102/ArzooWS/services/DOMFlightAvailability

in this case i will get an exception

SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't find in 'http://59.162.33.102/ArzooWS/services/DOMFlightAvailability'

CASE 2

$url=http://59.162.33.102/ArzooWS/services/DOMFlightAvailability?wsdl

in this case no exception i will get the output of __getFunctions() but the response is

invalid XML format

I had contacted the API service providers they will say everything up and running. Here is the xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
            <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> 
            <soapenv:Body>
              <getAvailability xmlns="http://avail.flight.arzoo.com">
              <in0>
                <Request>   
                <Origin>BOM</Origin>
                <Destination>BLR</Destination>
                <DepartDate>2015-05-15</DepartDate>
                <ReturnDate>2015-05-20</ReturnDate>
                <AdultPax>1</AdultPax>
                <ChildPax>1</ChildPax>
                <InfantPax>1</InfantPax>
                <Currency>INR</Currency>
                <Preferredclass>B</Preferredclass>
                 <mode>ROUND</mode> 
                <Clientid>7XXX</Clientid>
                <Clientpassword>XX</Clientpassword>
                <Clienttype>XXX</Clienttype>
                <PreferredAirline>AI,G8,IC,6E</PreferredAirline>
                </Request> 
        </in0>
    </getAvailability>
    </soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope>

UPDATE Here is a sample response of only one flight

I think there is too much informations in your XML.

Do you have any documentation about how to format the XML to call the getAvailability() function ?

The XML would be more like this in my opinion :

<Request>   
    <Origin>BOM</Origin>
    <Destination>BLR</Destination>
    <DepartDate>2015-05-15</DepartDate>
    <ReturnDate>2015-05-20</ReturnDate>
    <AdultPax>1</AdultPax>
    <ChildPax>1</ChildPax>
    <InfantPax>1</InfantPax>
    <Currency>INR</Currency>
    <Preferredclass>B</Preferredclass>
    <mode>ROUND</mode> 
    <Clientid>7XXX</Clientid>
    <Clientpassword>XX</Clientpassword>
    <Clienttype>XXX</Clienttype>
    <PreferredAirline>AI,G8,IC,6E</PreferredAirline>
</Request>

To read the XML response, do this :

$values_array = json_decode(json_encode((array)simplexml_load_string($values)),1);

There is no simple way to print your data in an HTML table because the reponse is a multidimensionnal array. Check How to create a HTML Table from a PHP array? to see how to parse an array to print an HTML table.

@Root Well, did you provided proper Clientid/Clientpassword/Clienttype then? – Furgas May 12 '15 at 07:54
one more question how can i get each values from the response.now i am getting huge data – Blessan Kurien May 12 '15 at 08:24
@Root You can do this to see readable data : `echo "
```
"; print_r($values); echo "
```
";`
– Maxime Mettey May 12 '15 at 08:29
i have done it but i cant see any tagname in it contains only the data. – Blessan Kurien May 12 '15 at 08:31
@Root Can you post a sample of your `$values` response please ? And what do you have to do with this response ? Create an HTML table with it ? – Maxime Mettey May 12 '15 at 08:38
yeah i need a table to populate data..Let me edit my question with sample data – Blessan Kurien May 12 '15 at 08:43
Here is link of doumentation https://www.dropbox.com/s/21jfqdhxugchr8x/AVAILABILITY%20DOCUMENT.pdf?dl=0 also i have added response of one flight in my question – Blessan Kurien May 12 '15 at 08:48
So your response is an XML string. Try to do `$values_array = json_decode(json_encode((array)simplexml_load_string($values)),1);` and then print $values_array – Maxime Mettey May 12 '15 at 08:57
@Root Can you show me one sample of the new data please (with key/value pairs) ? And then I can give you a script to print an HTML table for your data. – Maxime Mettey May 12 '15 at 09:15
The response you get is too specific to print easily an HTML table (someone corrects me if you have a solution ?). You will have to parse your array step by step to print the data you want. You can check this subject to see how it is done : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4746079/how-do-i-create-table-with-this-php-array – Maxime Mettey May 12 '15 at 09:54

According to WSDL, in0 should be string:

<wsdl:message name="getAvailabilityRequest">
    <wsdl:part name="in0" type="xsd:string"></wsdl:part>
</wsdl:message>

How did you came up with such XML, since WSDL doesn't describe it? Do you have any other documentation for this service?

Is this documentation publicly available? Could you provide the link for it? – Furgas May 12 '15 at 07:53

this is working code of flight availibility by arzoo.. i also getting error while using SOAP CLIENT but when i use nusoap then they give me result..using this code if u get error like ip/password mismatch then You will call arzoo to verify your clientid and clientpassword

    <?php
  ini_set('max_execution_time','180');
    include 'lib/nusoap.php';
   $location_URL ='http://avail.flight.arzoo.com';
   $action_URL ='http://demo.arzoo.com/ArzooWS/services/DOMFlightAvailability?wsdl';
$Request = '<Request>
<Origin>BOM</Origin>
<Destination>DEL</Destination>
<DepartDate>2017-02-02</DepartDate>
<ReturnDate>2017-02-02</ReturnDate>
<AdultPax>1</AdultPax>
<ChildPax>0</ChildPax>
<InfantPax>0</InfantPax>
<Currency>INR</Currency>
<Clientid>Given by Arzoo.com</Clientid>
<Clientpassword>Given by Arzoo.com</Clientpassword>
<Clienttype>ArzooFWS1.1</Clienttype>
<Preferredclass>E</Preferredclass>
<mode>ONE</mode>
<PreferredAirline>AI</PreferredAirline>
</Request>';

$clientinfo = array('soap_version'=>SOAP_1_1,
'location' =>$location_URL,
'uri' =>$action_URL,
 'style' => SOAP_RPC,
 'use' => SOAP_ENCODED,
 'trace' => 1,
 );

 $client = new nusoap_client('http://demo.arzoo.com/ArzooWS/services/DOMFlightAvailability?wsdl', $clientinfo);
//print_r($client);
$result = $client->call('getAvailability', array($Request));
echo"<pre>";
print_r($result);
$clientInfo =simplexml_load_string(utf8_encode($result));
$flight = $clientInfo->Response__Depart->OriginDestinationOptions->OriginDestinationOption;
$error =$clientInfo->error__tag;
//echo $error;
var_dump($flight);
//exit;
//echo"<pre>";
//print_r($result);
//ECHO $error;
?>

this isn't answering the question. – Tsahi Asher Feb 02 '17 at 10:08 — Tsahi Asher, Feb 02 '17 at 10:08
