SOAP to XML conversion in PHP
Question
I need to generate the following XML with SOAP:
...
<InternationalShippingServiceOption>
<ShippingService>StandardInternational</ShippingService>
<ShippingServiceCost currencyID="USD">39.99</ShippingServiceCost>
<ShippingServicePriority>1</ShippingServicePriority>
<ShipToLocation>CA</ShipToLocation>
</InternationalShippingServiceOption>
...
So I have the following SOAP array in PHP to do this:
$params = array(
'InternationalShippingServiceOption' => array(
'ShippingService'=>'StandardInternational',
'ShippingServiceCost'=>39.99,
'ShippingServicePriority'=>1,
'ShipToLocation'=>'CA',
)
)
$client = new eBaySOAP($session); //eBaySOAP extends SoapClient
$results = $client->AddItem($params);
Everything works great, except I am not generating the currencyID="USD" attribute in the ShippingServiceCost tag in the XML. How do I do this?
Solution
You don't need to use SoapVar. This works (for me at least):
$params = array(
'InternationalShippingServiceOption' => array(
'ShippingService'=>'StandardInternational',
'ShippingServiceCost' => array('_' => 39.99, 'currencyID' => 'USD')
'ShippingServicePriority'=>1,
'ShipToLocation'=>'CA',
)
)
I'm using this technique with the PayPal SOAP API.
OTHER TIPS
Why, I am glad you asked. I just solved this today.
$shippingsvccostwithid = new SoapVar(array('currencyID' => $whatever),SOAP_ENC_OBJECT, 'ShippingServiceCost', 'https://your.namespace.here.com/');
$params = array("InternationalShippingServiceOption" => array(
"ShippingService" => "StandardInternational",
"ShippingServiceCost" => $shippingsvccostwithid,
"ShippingServicePriority" => 1,
"ShipToLocation" => "CA"
);
And then continue as normal.
Please let me know if you need any more help.
