passing an xml in nusoap

Question

Good day,

I am having trouble passing an xml in nusoap.

sample: I pass this xml <test>123</test>
The nusoap response is test123/test

The greater than and less than sign is removed.

This is my code for the server:

---

require_once('nusoap/nusoap.php');
$server = new nusoap_server; // Create server instance

$server->configureWSDL('demows','http://example.org/demo');

$server->register('myFunction',
array("param"=>"xsd:string"), // input
array("result"=>"xsd:string"), // output
'http://example.org/demo'
);

function myFunction($parameters) {
return $parameters;
}

// Use the request to try to invoke the service
$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA = isset($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA) ? $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA: '';
$server->service($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA);

---

This is my code for the client:

---

require_once('nusoap/nusoap.php');

$client = new nusoap_client('http://localhost/nusoap/ws.php?wsdl', true);

$clientparam = '<test>123</test>';

$result = $client->call('myFunction',
array('param'=>$clientparam)
);

print_r($result);

---

*Note that the above code is working on PHP Version 5.3.0 but NOT on PHP Version 5.2.0-8+etch13 which is the one on our production is using.

I've search the net for any issues on the 2 version but none found. Any help is highly appreciated. TIA

Answer 1

I don't know nusoap at all, but it sounds like your entities are being discarded. It might be worth controlling the entities at either end, for instance by changing '>' for &gt;, '<' for &lt; either manually or using a function such as htmlentities()

Not sure if you're using a different version of nusoap than me, but I've been using the proxy, which seems to be working. I also instantiate the client with soapclient rather than nusoap_client (hadn't seen that before):

 $client = new soapclient('http://localhost/nusoap/ws.php?wsdl', true);
 $proxy = $client->getProxy();
 $response = $proxy->call("myfunction", array('test' => 123));
