SoapClient::__call -- Calls a SOAP function
Description
mixed SoapClient::__call ( string function_name [, array
arguments [, array options [, array input_headers [, array
output_headers]]]])
This is a low level API function to make a SOAP call. Usually
in WSDL mode you can simply call SOAP functions as SoapClient
methods. It is useful for non-WSDL mode when soapaction
is unknown, uri differs from the default or when you like
to send and/or receive SOAP Headers. On error, a call to
a SOAP function can cause PHP exceptions or return a SoapFault
object if exceptions was disabled. To check if the function
call failed catch the SoapFault exceptions or check the
result with the is_soap_fault() function.
SOAP functions may return one or several values. In the
first case it will return just the value of output parameter,
in the second it will return the associative array with
named output parameters.
Example 1. SoapClient::__call() examples
<?php
$client = new SoapClient("some.wsdl");
$client->SomeFunction($a, $b, $c);
$client->__call("SomeFunction", array($a, $b,
$c));
$client->__call("SomeFunction", array($a, $b,
$c), NULL,
new SoapHeader(...), $output_headers);
$client = new SoapClient(null, array('location' => "http://localhost/soap.php",
'uri' => "http://test-uri/"));
$client->SomeFunction($a, $b, $c);
$client->__call("SomeFunction", array($a, $b,
$c));
$client->__call("SomeFunction", array($a, $b,
$c),
array('soapaction' => 'some_action',
'uri' => 'some_uri'));
?>
