SoapClient not sending proper SOAP requests -- how do I correct this?

Hi All,

I've got the following PHP code:

$service = new SoapClient("http://www.webservicex.net/length.asmx?
wsdl");
$result = $service->ChangeLengthUnit(10,"Inches","Centimeters");
var_dump($result);


It returns:

object(stdClass)#2 (1) {
["ChangeLengthUnitResult"]=>
float(0)
}

If you manually go to http://www.webservicex.net/length.asmx?op=ChangeLengthUnit
and try the operation yourself, you'll see that it returns 2.54.

I used Wireshark to see what SOAP request was actually being sent, and
here's what I found:





Inches
Centimeters



This isn't right! Here's what the request *should* look like. The XML
namespaces are different, but that's ok; the problem is the content of
the Body element.


xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://
schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">


1
Inches
Centimeters/ChangeLengthUnit>





Windows XP Pro, IIS 5.1, and PHP 5.2.1 -- is there a bug that was
resolved in later versions of PHP? Or am I missing something?

Are you pointing to the correct WSDL for your request? It looks like
it isn't receiving the correct format the is expected by the server.

That's the correct WSDL link -- you can verify yourself by going to
http://www.webservicex.net/length.asmx?wsdl

Having said that, the only place I include link that is in the
SoapClient constructor -- is it support to be somewhere else as well?

Is that record typo density, I wonder? Anyway, that's supposed to be
"...I include that link is..." and "-- is it supposed to be..."
