HelloServer12.php - First SOAP 1.2 Server Application

This section provides a tutorial example on how to write a simple SOAP 1.2 server application. The HelloServer.php example defines a hello() function, adds it to the SOAP server, waits for the client program to call.

So far, we have tried only with SOAP 1.1. Can we do some tests with SOAP 1.2? Sure. Here is my hello server modified for SOAP 1.2, HelloServer12.php:

<?php 
#  HelloServer12.php
#- Copyright (c) 2007-2019, HerongYang.com, All Rights Reserved.
#
function hello($someone) { 
   return "Hello " . $someone . "! - SOAP 1.2";
} 
   $server = new SoapServer(null, array(
      'uri' => "urn://www.herong.home/res",
      'soap_version' => SOAP_1_2));
   $server->addFunction("hello"); 
   $server->handle(); 
?>

Here is my hello client modified for SOAP 1.2, HelloClient12.php:

<?php 
#  HelloClient12.php
#- Copyright (c) 2007-2019, HerongYang.com, All Rights Reserved.
#
   $client = new SoapClient(null, array(
      'location' => "http://localhost/HelloServer12.php",
      'uri'      => "urn://www.herong.home/req",
      'soap_version' => SOAP_1_2,
      'trace'    => 1 ));

   $return = $client->__soapCall("hello",array("world"));
   echo("\nReturning value of __soapCall() call: ".$return);

   echo("\nDumping request headers:\n" 
      .$client->__getLastRequestHeaders());

   echo("\nDumping request:\n".$client->__getLastRequest());

   echo("\nDumping response headers:\n"
      .$client->__getLastResponseHeaders());

   echo("\nDumping response:\n".$client->__getLastResponse());
?>

Remember to move HelloServer12.php to IIS document directory. Then run HelloClient12.php. You will get:

Returning value of __soapCall() call: Hello world! - SOAP 1.2

Dumping request headers:
POST /HelloServer12.php HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Type: application/soap+xml;
   charset=utf-8; action="urn://www.herong.home/req#hello"
Content-Length: 458

Dumping request:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<env:Envelope
 xmlns:env="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"
 xmlns:ns1="urn://www.herong.home/req" 
 xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
 xmlns:enc="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-encoding">
 <env:Body>
  <ns1:hello
   env:encodingStyle="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-encoding">
   <param0 xsi:type="xsd:string">world</param0>
  </ns1:hello>
 </env:Body>
</env:Envelope>

Dumping response headers:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.1
Connection: close
Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 570

Dumping response:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<env:Envelope
 xmlns:env="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"
 xmlns:ns1="urn://www.herong.home/res" 
 xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
 xmlns:enc="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-encoding">
 <env:Body
  xmlns:rpc="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-rpc">
  <ns1:helloResponse
   env:encodingStyle="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-encoding">
   <rpc:result>return</rpc:result>
   <return xsi:type="xsd:string">Hello world! - SOAP 1.2</return>
  </ns1:helloResponse>
 </env:Body>
</env:Envelope>
