README

A modernised fork of nusoap.

Installation

Composer (recommended)

$ composer require monomelodies/newsoap

Manual

1. Download or clone the repository;
2. Add /path/to/newsoap/src as a PSR-4 path to your autoloader for Newsoap\\.

Why this library?

Modern PHP installations have a pretty awesome SoapClient native class, I'm very well aware of that :) However, there are situations where using this is not an option:

1. For some reason, the SOAP extension is not installed;
2. You're interfacing with a crappy SOAP server that doesn't adhere to specs. Actually, Newsoap was specifically created to talk to LexisNexis, but I'm sure there are other implementations out there that will trip over PHP's (conforming) implementation.

Usage

Basically the same as nusoap, with currently two notable exceptions:

1. The class name to use (duh). Use new Newsoap\Client(...$optons). The parameters are still the same as for newsoap_client (though I really want to change them, constructors with a gazillion arguments are bad practive).
2. On failure, Newsoap doesn't silently "log" errors but throws an exception of the type Newsoap\ServiceException or Newsoap\FaultException.

Todos

• Modernize more code
• Implement exception-based error handling throughout
• Cleanup the old debug methods
• Check Server implementation (I was initially more concerned with the client, but it should work - but really maybe this lib shouldn't concern itself with that part anyway)
• Add unit tests
