I have created a Web Service in ASP.NET and also an ASP.NET client to consume this service. The Web Service uses Windows Authentication to recognise the client, so that not just anyone can access it.

We have another existing system built in PHP, which we would like to be able to access the ASP.NET Web Service - does anyone know how this would be possible, bearing in mind the security complications of having to authenticate the consumer?

Any help much appreciated...

hi,
i create a web service with asp.net ,and then save the wsdl of it as Service.wsdl in c:\wamp\www
(i use wamp)
uncomment saop-php.dll in php.ini
and use this code:
    $client = new SoapClient("Service.wsdl");
     echo "Hello";
$param=array('name'=>'azade',);
 $result =  $client->__soapCall('HelloWorld',$param);
 print_r($result);
 
but i got this error:
 
Hello
Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault exception: [HTTP] Could not connect to host in C:\wamp\www\n.php:12 Stack trace: #0 [internal function]: SoapClient->__doRequest('<?xml version="...', 'http://localhos...', 'http://tempuri....', 1, 0) #1 C:\wamp\www\n.php(12): SoapClient->__soapCall('HelloWorld', Array) #2 {main} thrown in C:\wamp\www\n.php on line 12
 
could u help me ,plz?
thanks

Were you able to resolve this and get PHP SOAP to talk to your .NET web service? I created a simple web service method using ASP.NET/C#

[WebMethod]
public int addNumbers(int num1, int num2)
{
  int result = num1 + num2;
  TextWriter tw = new StreamWriter(@"C:\WINDOWS\Temp\addNumbers.txt");
  tw.WriteLine("" + num1 + " + " + num2 + " = " + result);
  tw.Close();

  return result;
}

So the input and output parameters to the method call are logged to a text file. When I test this web service method locally, it seems to work fine. But when I try to invoke it via PHP, I encounter a couple of problems -
(a) $soapClient->addNumbers(99, 101) resulted in the text file on the server containing "0 + 0 = 0"
(b) print $soapClient->addNumbers(99, 101); resulted in the following error on the PHP page

Catchable fatal error:  Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in C:\xampp\htdocs\inspect_service.php on line 27

where line 27 is the stated line.

Can you please help?

Thanks.
