php consume WCF SSL SOAP Client 1.2

Question

Im having some problems consuming a wsHttpBinding WCF from PHP. I originally tried to use SOAP1.2 but couldnt get it to specify the WS Action.

I downloaded the nusoap library. I was originally getting an error saying that the webservice wouldnt accept the data due to a type mismatch (text/xml instead of the expected application/soap+xml). I managed to make changes to nusoap.php to send the data as application/soap+xml). Now that doesnt throw an error, i get 400 bad request error from the server.

I can consume the service from WCFTestClient and also from SOAPUI without any messing around, but just cannot get it to fly from PHP. I even copied the entire soap envelope from SOAPUI and set the $soapmsg in nusoap.php to be exactly that and it still fails.

So anyone want to offer some guidance.

EDIT This is the code i was trying in SOAP 1.2

$params  = array("soap_version"=> SOAP_1_2,
                "trace"=>1,
                "exceptions"=>0,
                );

$client = @new SoapClient('https://localhost/wcftest/Service.svc?wsdl',$params);

$retval = $client->GetData(array('value'=>'stuff'));
if (is_soap_fault($retval)) {
    trigger_error("SOAP Fault: (faultcode: {$retval->faultcode}, faultstring: {$retval->faultstring})", E_USER_ERROR);
}

EDIT #2 This is the code that works out of SOAPUI

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:tem="http://tempuri.org/">
   <soap:Header xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing"><wsa:Action>http://tempuri.org/IService/GetData</wsa:Action></soap:Header>
   <soap:Body>
      <tem:GetData>
         <!--Optional:-->
         <tem:value>stuff</tem:value>
      </tem:GetData>
   </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

After adding the SoapHeaders manually as mentioned by Gords link below i get this as the __last_request when debugging with netbeans and still the same error

    "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:ns1="http://tempuri.org/">
<env:Header>
<ns1:Action>http://tempuri.org/IService/GetData</ns1:Action>
</env:Header>
<env:Body><ns1:GetData><ns1:value>stuff</ns1:value></ns1:GetData></env:Body></env:Envelope>

any advice??

Thanks! Andy

Answer 1

Ok so i got this to work. Thanks to Gord for making me double check stuff that i had overlooked earlier on.

I ended ditching nusoap and just sticking with with SOAP 1.2. Here is my php code

//Declare some paramaters for our soapclient. Need to make sure its set to soap 1.2
$params  = array("soap_version"=> SOAP_1_2,
                "trace"=>1,
                "exceptions"=>0,
                );

//Create the soap client
$client = new SoapClient('https://localhost/wcftest/Service.svc?wsdl',$params);
//add some WSAddressing Headers in. Ensure that you have the Namespace as the address if you are using wsHttpBinding on the endpoint
//This was the step that took me the longest to figure out!
$actionHeader = new SoapHeader('http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing','Action','http://tempuri.org/IService/GetData',true);
//Add the headers into the client
$client->__setSoapHeaders($actionHeader);
//Make the call and pass in the variables that we require to go to the server
$retval = $client->__soapCall('GetData',array('value'=>'stuff'));
//Some Error Catching
if (is_soap_fault($retval)) {
    trigger_error("SOAP Fault: (faultcode: {$retval->faultcode}, faultstring: {$retval->faultstring})", E_USER_ERROR);
}

and the working envelope

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:ns1="http://tempuri.org/" xmlns:ns2="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing"> 
    <env:Header> 
        <ns2:Action env:mustUnderstand="true">http://tempuri.org/IService/GetData</ns2:Action>
    </env:Header>
    <env:Body>
        <ns1:GetData/>
    </env:Body>
</env:Envelope>

and the web.config file from the WCF Service
