How to pass an array into a PHP SoapClient call

Question

Using PHP and SoapClient.

I need to pass the following XML into a soap request - i.e. multiple \'s within .

<

Answer 1

I also had this problem and found the solution. Stays needs to be an array with ascending keys starting with 0.

$client = new SoapClient('http://myservice.com?wsdl');
$stays[] = array('startDate'=>'01-01-2013', 'endDate'=>'02-02-2013');
$stays[] = array('startDate'=>'02-02-2013', 'endDate'=>'03-03-2013');
$params = array(
  'reservation' => array('stays'=>$stays)
);
$client->saveReservation($params);

Answer 2

I had similar problem and I had to post data in this structure. Accepted answer didn't work for me

$xml = array('reservation' => array(
    'stays' => array(
        array(
            'start_date' => '2011-01-01',
            'end_date'   => 2011-01-15
        ),
        array(
            'start_date' => '2011-01-01',
            'end_date'   => 2011-01-15
        )
    )
));

maybe it might help somebody if accepted answear doesn't work for you

+ minor tip for all of you, use $xml = ['key' => 'val']; instead of $xml = array('key' => 'val');

Answer 3

Assuming that when you instantiated $soapClient, you did so in WSDL mode, the following should work:

$stay1 = new stdClass();
$stay1->start_date = "2011-01-01";
$stay1->end_date = "2011-01-15";
$stay2 = new stdClass();
$stay2->start_date = "2011-01-01";
$stay2->end_date = "2011-01-15";
$stays = array();
$stays[0] = $stay1;
$stays[1] = $stay2;
$soapClient->saveReservation(
    array("reservation" => array("stays" => $stays))
);

Answer 4

I also ran into this issue calling soap with an parameter as an array. My array has to start with index 0 for it to work.

$client->__soapCall(my_function_name, [
  'body' => [
    'date' => '201930', 
    'ids' => [0 => '32001', 1 => '32002'],
  ],
]);

Answer 5

Try this:

$xml = array(
  'stays' => array(
    'stay' => array(
      array( /* start end */ ),
      array( /* start end */ ),
      array( /* start end */ )
    )
  )
);

Answer 6

'stay' has to be defined just once. This should be the right answer:

$xml = array('reservation' => array(
'stays' => array(
    'stay' => array(
                    array(
                          'start_date' => '2011-01-01',
                          'end_date'   => 2011-01-15
                    ),
                    array(
                          'start_date' => '2011-01-01',
                          'end_date'   => 2011-01-15
                    )
              )  
    )
));
