Soapclient query a Sharepoint web service

Question

I successfully query a service with the following code from here

<?php
$authParams = array("login" => "username", "password" => "password");
$listName = "{2882F083-8890-4ADA-A1FC-39ED1D63D825}";
$rowLimit = '150';
$wsdl = "http://localhost:89/list.wsdl";
$soapClient = new SoapClient($wsdl, $authParams);
$params = array('listName' => $listName, 'rowLimit' => $rowLimit);
$rawXMLresponse = null;
try{
    $rawXMLresponse = $soapClient->GetListItems($params)->GetListItemsResult->any;
}
catch(SoapFault $fault){
    echo 'Fault code: '.$fault->faultcode;
    echo 'Fault string: '.$fault->faultstring;
}
echo '<pre>' . $rawXMLresponse . '</pre>';

$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadXML($rawXMLresponse);
$results = $dom->getElementsByTagNameNS("#RowsetSchema", "*");

foreach($results as $result){
    echo $result->getAttribute("ows_LinkTitle")."<br/>";
    echo $result->getAttribute("ows_Body")."<br/>";
}
unset($soapClient);
?>

However the attribute ows_Body doesnt display, probably because the atribute is not fetched in the $rawXMLresponse. How do I get that in the response? If the GetListItems requires an extra query paramater how do I format that?

below is what is returned from the rawXMLresponse

Answer 1

Try adding a ViewFields parameter to your query. This allows you to specify which fields to return in the query and in what order.

viewFields is a child of the GetListItems element:

<viewFields>
   <ViewFields>
     <FieldRef Name="LinkTitle" />
     <FieldRef Name="Body" />
   </ViewFields>
</viewFields>

Based on the example you gave, I'm guessing at the column names you'd be after; you may need to adjust to whatever SharePoint is actually calling those columns internally.

The ows_ prefix is added to the column name, so you wouldn't address them in that format except when retrieving from the result XML.
