Send SOAP XML via curl, PHP




This has been bugging me for days, i'm trying to send a SOAP post via curl but i just keep getting a 'couldn't connect to host' error but i really cant see how.





I have an asp version which works fine with the same url and data, i think it's just a php/curl thing...? I currently have the following code (the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS data is a valid soap envelope string)




$soap_do = curl_init();
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_URL, "https://xxx.yyy.com:517/zzz.asmx" );
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 10);
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true );
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_POST, true );
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, '<soap:Envelope>...</soap:Envelope>');
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8', 'Content-Length: '.strlen('<soap:Envelope>...</soap:Envelope>') ));

if(curl_exec($soap_do) === false)
{
$err = 'Curl error: ' . curl_error($soap_do);
curl_close($soap_do);
return $err;
}
else
{
curl_close($soap_do);
return 'Operation completed without any errors';
}



So any ideas why it just errors all the time?



The asp version works fine! The code is;



Set xmlhttp = server.Createobject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")

xmlhttp.Open "POST","https://xxx.yyy.com:517/zzz.asmx"

xmlhttp.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8"

xmlhttp.Send('<soap:Envelope>...</soap:Envelope>')

  1. Thanx a lot buddy, your code has worked for me.

    Here is the code:

    $soap_do = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_URL, $url );
    curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 10);
    curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
    curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true );
    curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
    curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_POST, true );
    curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_string);
    curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8', 'Content-Length: '.strlen($post_string) ));
    curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $user . ":" . $password);

    $result = curl_exec($soap_do);
    $err = curl_error($soap_do);

  2. Try and set the port number using CURLOPT_PORT as perhaps it's not liking it as part of the URL?

  3. I had to use

    $headers = array(
    "Content-type: text/xml;charset=\"utf-8\"",
    "Accept: text/xml",
    "Cache-Control: no-cache",
    "Pragma: no-cache",
    "SOAPAction: \"run\"",
    "Content-length: ".strlen($xml),
    );


    and

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);

  4. For those finding this from Google, I ran into a similar problem, trying to interact with a .NET SOAP server from PHP, when the ASP method worked fine.

    I used a packet sniffer to see what the ASP client was sending, exactly, and noticed it included cookies after the initial authentication request. So I enabled cookies in my cURL and it worked fine.

    $cookiePath = tempnam('/tmp', 'cookie');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookiePath);

  5. Your also using the wrong Content-type, application/xml is the correct type. But that shouldn't make any difference to the cURL request.
