Processing XQuery in SOAP

Question

How can I display the result of an XQuery query in a client server SOAP application? Below is what I have so far, it just prints hello and a name. How can I get it to process XQuery and return the result?

Client Code:

<?php
  $client = new SoapClient("hidden");
  echo "Functions:<br/><br/>";
  echo var_dump($client->__getFunctions());
  echo "<br/><br/>";
  try
  {
    $return = $client->sayhello("Ross");
    echo($return."<br>");
  }
  catch(SoapFault $soapFault)
  {
    echo ($soapFault);
  }

?> 

Server Code:

<?php 

function sayhello($firstName) { 
  return "Hello ".$firstName; 
}//sayhello


ini_set("soap.wsdl_cache_enabled", "0"); // disabling WSDL cache 
$server = new SoapServer("hidden"); 
$server->addFunction("sayhello"); 
$server->handle(); 
?> 

Answer 1

you have not indicated what server this is running. XQuery is an embedded language not generally 'built in' except on XQuery based app servers like eXist or MarkLogic.
