A lightweight PHP SOAP wrapper

Exfoliate

, _(*1)

Exfoliate is a lightweight PHP wrapper for the core SoapClient class., _(*2)

This library exists to make interactions with SOAP-based web services less painful. Exfoliate wraps SOAP exceptions in logical event-based exception classes., _(*3)

The Exfoliate SoapClient is capable being constructed without initializing a connection to the web service. This capability can improve performance and also improve the handling of connection exceptions., _(*4)

Installation

The suggested installation method is via composer:, _(*5)

php composer.phar require jeremylivingston/exfoliate:dev-master

After installing the Exfoliate library, simply create a new instance of the client and call any web service methods you desire:, _(*6)

<?php

use Exfoliate\SoapClient;

$client = new SoapClient('my-service-url', array('trace' => true));
$response = $client->call('GetUser', array('user_id' => 1234));

Use the Exfoliate\SoapClient::setHeaders() method to set any SOAP headers when the client is initialized:, _(*7)

<?php

use Exfoliate\SoapClient;

$client = new SoapClient('my-service-url', array('trace' => true));

$client->setHeaders(
    new \SoapHeader('my-namespace', 'Auth', array('User' => 'me', 'Password' => 'pw'))
);

$response = $client->call('GetUser', array('user_id' => 1234));

You can retrieve the most recent request and response content via the Exfoliate\SoapClient::getLastRequest() and Exfoliate\SoapClient::getLastResponse() methods, respectively:, _(*8)

<?php

use Exfoliate\SoapClient;

$client = new SoapClient('my-service-url', array('trace' => true));
$response = $client->call('GetUser', array('user_id' => 1234));

$lastRequest = $client->getLastRequest();
$lastResponse = $client->getLastResponse();
