Issues using a Fedex Webservice via WSDL/SOAP

Parris picture Parris · Jan 6, 2010 · Viewed 21.5k times · Source

I downloaded the sample code to request a rate from fedex's website... i placed the WSDL file in the proper location, I have my acct number, password, meter number, and key. When I run the script I get this error:

Error in processing transaction.
ERROR
prof
1000
Authentication Failed

The script they give is as follows, and yes i do actually replace the XXX and YYY everywhere it says.:

<?php

require_once('fedex-common.php5');

$path_to_wsdl = "RateService_v7.wsdl";

    $response = $client ->getRates($request);

    if ($response -> HighestSeverity != 'FAILURE' && $response -> HighestSeverity != 'ERROR')
    {
        printRequestResponse($client);
    }
    else
    {
        echo 'Error in processing transaction.'. $newline. $newline; 
        foreach ($response -> Notifications as $notification)
        {           
            if(is_array($response -> Notifications))
            {              
               echo $notification -> Severity;
               echo ': ';           
               echo $notification -> Message . $newline;
            }
            else
            {
                echo $notification . $newline;
            }
        } 
    } 

    writeToLog($client);    // Write to log file   

} catch (SoapFault $exception) {
   printFault($exception, $client);        
}

?>

I am not quite sure why it isn't working, i've read about using a proxy, but I am not quite sure how i would use it in this case? Isn't the point of using SOAP and WSDL to avoid using CURL, Direct Connect type stuff?

Agree with Aditya Kumar, or check in your wsdl file at bottom. there is a code

<s1:address location="https://wsbeta.fedex.com:443/web-services/ship"/>

change it to

<s1:address location="https://ws.fedex.com:443/web-services/ship"/>
