The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Created a SOAP server (newbie) but need to call it with XML not string params? help please

Asked by NeilT in PHP Scripting Language, SOAP, Web Services Description Language

Hi

I'm ok with PHP and have just been asked to create a Web Service so one of our 3rd party suppliers can use our payments system. I've got all the info I need working once I have the data they want passed but I have no idea how my SOAP server should go about getting their XML

The examples I've used to learn pass parameters in as strings such as this example...

<?php
//client-test.php
ini_set("soap.wsdl_cache_enabled", "0"); // disabling WSDL cache
$client = new SoapClient("http://..../payments.wsdl");
$return = $client->makePayment('12.35');
?>

... but the company that wants to use our payments engine want to pass an XML document in something like...

<xml>
 <request>
  <reference>12345678</reference>
  <cardNumber>1234123456785678</cardNumber>
  <endDate>1109</endDate>
  <amount>12.51</amount>
 </request>
</xml>

... how would I go about that please? Would it simply be down to passing as simple xml in the 'makePaymentFunctions.php' page then doing what I want with it? If so how would I add it to the stub of client-test.php : $return = $client->makePayment(???????);

Many thanks
Neil
