ID: 65004 Comment by: kjarli at gmail dot com Reported by: kjarli at gmail dot com Summary: SoapServer::handle() should return instead of print Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: SOAP related Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.3.26 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Yes, it's possible somewhat like that, but it still requires me to use ob_* functions. ob_* functions bug unit-tests and pretty much everything else, they are very annoying to use and they conflict with a framework output buffer. It only makes sense if it would return instead of print so that I can do with the content what ever I want.

I'm using SOAP for 1 part of the system to receive notifications by an external party. Using SoapServer::handle() requires me to hack/cheat on the MVC pattern. Say I want to use the normal route in any framework, thus assign my SoapServer::handle() to a variable in the output, that's impossible because it's send to the browser straight away. This breaks several things: - The framework using Output Buffering - PHPUnit using Output Buffering. Soap feels like php 4.0 and it's time to update it. My feature request: Have SoapServer::handle() return the string instead or make a new method that does this. Test script: --------------- $classmap = array(...); $server = new \SoapServer( __DIR__ . '/../Resources/config/Notification.wsdl', array('classmap' => $this->classmap) ); $server->setObject($this->get('mysoap.methods')); $response = new Response(); $response->headers->set('Content-Type', 'text/xml; charset=ISO-8859-1'); // Sadly handle() prints the output rather than returning it -.- ob_start(); $server->handle(); $content = ob_get_length() > 0 ? ob_get_clean() : '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><root><error>No soap response generated</error></root>'; $response->setContent($content); Expected result: ---------------- . Actual result: -------------- Would be so much easier if I could just do: [...] $response = new Response(); $response->headers->set('Content-Type', 'text/xml; charset=ISO-8859-1'); $response->setContent($server->handle()); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65004&edit=1
