[nyphp-talk] Consuming a .NET Web Service with PHP

[Todd Sinagra]

I am trying to consume a .NET Web Service for M/S Dynamics GP (which
used to be Great Plains) and I just can't seem to get it working. I
have contacted M/S Dynamics support about my problem and they tell me
PHP is not supported use C#. So if anyone could please help it would
be greatly appreciated.

 Every time I run this bit of code, trying to use the GetCustomerByKey method:

<?php
$options = array('login'         => 'loginid',
                        'password'       => 'pwd',
                        'trace'          => TRUE,
                                'exceptions' => TRUE);

$wsdl = 'http://nabacct01/DynamicsGPWebServices/DynamicsGPService.asmx?WSDL';

$client = new SoapClient ($wsdl, $options);

try
{
        $key = array('key' => array('Id' => 'ACETRAVEL'));
        $company_key = array('Id' => -1);
        $context = array('Context' => array('CurrencyType' => 'Local',
                                                                    
'OrganizationKey' => $company_key,
                                                                                
'CultureName' => 'en-US'));

        $param = array_merge($key, $context);
        //echo "<pre>";print_r($param);echo "</pre><br>";//exit;
        echo "<pre>";print_r($key);echo "</pre><br>";//exit;
        echo "<pre>";print_r($context);echo "</pre><br>";//exit;
        echo "<pre>";print_r($param);echo "</pre><br>";//exit;

        $res = $client->GetCustomerByKey($param);
}
catch(SoapFault $soapFault)
{
        echo htmlentities($soapFault);
}

echo '<br>';
echo "<pre>";
echo "Request :<br>".htmlspecialchars($client->__getLastRequest()) ."<br>";
echo "</pre>";
echo "<pre>";
echo "Response:<br>".htmlspecialchars($client->__getLastResponse())."<br>";
echo "</pre>";

?>

I get this SoapFault exception:

SoapFault exception: [soap:Client] Server was unable to read request.
---> There is an error in XML document (2, 294). ---> The specified
type is abstract: name='OrganizationKey',
namespace='http://schemas.microsoft.com/dynamics/2006/01', at
<OrganizationKey

function]: SoapClient->__call('GetCustomerByKe...', Array) #1
/home/enc/www/bancard/gp/simple.php(27):
SoapClient->GetCustomerByKey(Array) #2 {main}


Here are the SOAP request and response that I get when calling the Web
Server by outputting the __getLastRequest and __getLastResponse.
Request:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";

Due to the size of the WSDL and other docs, information I have
included links to them below.
