Sending data arrays in nusoap and PHP

Question

Hope someone can help me with this. I am building nusoap client using the following partial WSDL:

      <s:element name="SavePrestaPicklist">
        <s:complexType>
          <s:sequence>
            <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="USERNAME" type="s:string" />
            <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="PASSWORD" type="s:string" />
            <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="BRANCH" type="s:string" />
            <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="CUSTOMERNUMBER" type="s:string" />
            <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="CUSTOMERPO" type="s:string" />
            <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="SHIPMETHOD" type="s:string" />
            <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="PRESTAPO" type="s:string" />
            <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="PICKITEMS" type="tns:ArrayOfPICKITEM" />
          </s:sequence>
        </s:complexType>
      </s:element>
      <s:complexType name="ArrayOfPICKITEM">
        <s:sequence>
          <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" name="PICKITEM" nillable="true" type="tns:PICKITEM" />
        </s:sequence>
      </s:complexType>
      <s:complexType name="PICKITEM">
        <s:sequence>
          <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="PARTNUMBER" type="s:string" />
          <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="BRANCH" type="s:string" />
          <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="MFRCODE" type="s:string" />
          <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="QUANTITY" type="s:string" />
        </s:sequence>
      </s:complexType>

My client looks like this:

   $orderdata = getorder('123');
   $orderdata = array(
        'USERNAME' => $config['export_username'],
        'PASSWORD' => $config['export_password'],
        'BRANCH' => '01',
        'CUSTOMERNUMBER' => $data['order']['address1'],
        'CUSTOMERPO' => $data['order']['gift_message'],
        'SHIPMETHOD' => $shipMethod,
        'PRESTAPO' => $data['order']['id_order']);

        // Build the pickitems array of pickitem.

        $pickitems = array();
        foreach($data['products'] as $item) {

            $pickitem = array(
                'PARTNUMBER' => $item['name'],
                'BRANCH' => '01',
                'MFRCODE' => '642',
                'QUANTITY' => $item['product_quantity']);

            $pickitems[] = $pickitem;
        }
        $data['PICKITEMS'] = $pickitems;

    $usingWsdl = true;
    $client = new nusoap_client($config['export_wsdl'], $usingWsdl);

    $response = $client->call('SavePrestaPicklist', $orderdata);

This isn't working and sends a PICKITEMS like this:

<PICKITEMS>
    <0>
       <PARTNUMBER>BLAH</PARTNUMBER>
       <BRANCH>BLAH</BRANCH>
         ETC.
    </0>
    <1>
        ANOTHER ITEM SET
    </1>
 </PICKITEMS>

What I want is this:

<PICKITEMS>
    <PICKITEM>
       <PARTNUMBER>BLAH</PARTNUMBER>
       <BRANCH>BLAH</BRANCH>
         ETC.
    </PICKITEM>
    <PICKITEM>
        ANOTHER ITEM SET
    </PICKITEM>
 </PICKITEMS>

Since you can't have duplicate 'PICKITEM' keys in PHP I can't figure out how to do this. Any help would be appreciated.

What is the structure of your server function SavePrestaPicklist? the order of the parameters and type. You could serialize the variable $orderdata in the client side and then unserialize it in server side before calling SavePrestaPicklist. — satrun77, Jul 20 '11 at 01:47

'PICKITEMS' => 
    array (
        'PICKITEM' => 
            array(
                0 => array('PARTNUMBER' => 'param1', 'BRANCH' => 'value1'),
                1 => array('PARTNUMBER' => 'param2', 'BRANCH' => 'value2')
        )
    )

Thanks for posting this. I had actually come up with the solution a while ago and forgot to answer my own question. – Richard - Rogue Wave Limited May 07 '13 at 13:08

You can send raw XML with the $client->send() method. Here is a full working example:

require_once('nusoap/lib/nusoap.php');

$endpoint = "http://yoursoapserver.com/SomeSoapService";

$client = new nusoap_client($endpoint, false);

$msg = $client->serializeEnvelope("
<ns1:insertuser xmlns:1="http://yoursoapserver.com/">
  <arg0 xsi:type="xsd:string">name</arg0>
  <arg1>
    <username xsi:type="xsd:string">username</username>
    <password xsi:type="xsd:string">0ac495f743a36cef9b0eaafa92ae08e21</password>
  </arg1>
  <arg2 xsi:type="xsd:string">email</arg2>
  <arg3 xsi:type="xsd:string">domain</arg3>
</ns1:insertuser>
");

$result=$client->send($msg, $endpoint);

print_r($result);
