In my scenario a .NET Web service offers particular encrypting capabilities.
I need to consume this Web service sending my clear string, I aspect to receive an encrypted string.
The Web service is obviously working properly.
I found this interesting library, so I adopted it:
require_once('lib/nusoap.php');
Here is the code:
// requires web service's specifications aka wsdl
// $parameters:
// requires following the array 'notation'
// array('parameters' => (array('text' => 'Hello World!!!')));
// that equals to Hello World!!!
// $proxy (->host, ->port, ->username, -> password)
// optional, uses a proxy server
function consume_webservice($wsdl, $method, $parameters, $debug = false, $proxy = null)
{
if ($proxy != null)
$proxy->host = $proxy->port = $proxy->username = $proxy->password = false;
$client = new soapclient($wsdl, true, $proxy->host, $proxy->port, $proxy->username, $proxy->password);
$err = $client->getError();
if ($err)
echo 'Constructor error
' . $err . '
';
$result = $client->call($method, $parameters);
// check for a fault
if ($client->fault)
{
echo 'Fault
';
print_r($result);
echo '
';
}
else
{
// check for errors
$err = $client->getError();
if ($err)
echo 'Error
' . $err . '
';
}
if ($debug)
{
echo 'Request
' . htmlspecialchars($client->request, ENT_QUOTES) . '
';
echo 'Response
' . htmlspecialchars($client->response, ENT_QUOTES) . '
';
echo 'Debug
' . htmlspecialchars($client->debug_str, ENT_QUOTES) . '
';
}
return $result;
}
This may work (only) with all soap Web services.
Please note that .NET Web services includes all response content into a "parameters" section.
