all you need to do is send a base64_encoded string back and forth and thats it.

if($handle = fopen($filename, “r”))
{
$data = fread($handle, filesize($filename));

$data = base64_encode($data);

fclose($handle);
return $data;
}

return “”;

… and on the client side… just base64_decode your string… write the data to a file. This is for downloading from a webservice. To upload just do vice versa.

PHP5 has built-in SOAP support, which uses the same classname: soapclient. One way of getting around this is to manually rename the soapclient class name in the nusoap.php source file.

Another way would be to recompile PHP5 without soap support

I am new to nusoap and am trying it out. The query in reality outputs 2 rows. However, only 1 row displays on the client side. I would like to output all the rows. How can I do it?

I have the following code;

server
configureWSDL(‘xmlservice’, ‘urn:schedule’);

$server->register(“getSchedule”,

array(‘itemname’ => ‘xsd:string’),
array(‘return’ => ‘xsd:string’),
‘urn:schedule’,
‘urn:schedule#getSchedule’);

$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA = isset($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA)
? $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA : ”;
$server->service($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA);
?>

client
call(‘getSchedule’,

array(‘symbol’ => ’2005-10-02′));

// I used a static date so that the service returns results

echo “The info for ‘Friends’ is $info. “;
print (“”);

?>

Thanks

I’ve started playing with this nusoap example and it looks straightforward except for how a client transmits a binary file (a jpeg file for example) to the FileUpload method.

It looks like I need to do a file upload on the client (using something lilke HTTP_upload.php) to have the file in hand, then pass this file as a param to the FileUpload method service. This can’t be correct can it? What am I missing here?

In .Net you just pass in a byte array (byte[]) as the parameter – but if you consume the WSDL everything is so much easier.

In PHP you just read the file into a variable (using fread) and then pass that as the parameter to a $client->call() method.

See this page for a general description of using NuSoap with a wsdl.
