Using Guzzle to consume SOAP

Question

I\'m loving the Guzzle framework that I just discovered. I\'m using it to aggregate data across multiple API\'s using different response structures. It\'s worked find with JSON

Guzzle HTTP can be used for SOAP requests & works like a charm:

Below is the way I have implemented.

Create variables:

    public function __construct(Request $request) {
    $this->request = $request;
    $this->openSoapEnvelope   =   '';
    $this->soapHeader         =   ' 
                                      
                                        <-- any header data goes here-->
                                    
                                ';

    $this->closeSoapEnvelope   =   '';
}

Create a function to form a soap request.

public function generateSoapRequest($soapBody){
    return $this->openSoapEnvelope . $this->soapHeader . $soapBody . $this->closeSoapEnvelope;
}

Define a body & call generateSoapRequest method. e.g:

$soapBody           =   '
                                
                          ';

$xmlRequest         =   $this->generateSoapRequest($soapBody); 


$client = new Client();

        $options = [
            'body'    => $xmlRequest,
            'headers' => [
                "Content-Type" => "text/xml",
                "accept" => "*/*",
                "accept-encoding" => "gzip, deflate"
            ]
        ];

        $res = $client->request(
            'POST',
            'http://your-soap-endpoint-url',
            $options
        );

        print_r($res->getBody());
