The WSDL file

This is the URL for a WSDL file that hosted at a IIS server. http://www.webservicex.com/TranslateService.asmx?wsdl

So let's try to compose by our-self the content of the body of our SOAP message to query this web service, we will use NuSoap to achieve the job: we must use the targetnamespace this way, this .NET web service doesn't like the namespace prefix generated automatically by NuSoap
wsdl:definitions targetNamespace="http://www.webservicex.net"
nothing really difficult here, just follow the wsdl, or, use the tool TcpTunnelGui with a working client, or see the documentation generated by the .NET web service on-line
 
inputQuery we just have to specify the minOccurs="1" for our SOAP message to be accepted as a valid message by the web service. Add the other field, so the server will return some results...
 
SOAP Client is look like ..
<?php
require_once ('lib/nusoap.php');// include NuSOAP library
$soapaction = "http://www.webservicex.net/Translate"; // define the soapaction as found in the wsdl - yournamespase/webservicename
$wsdl="http://www.webservicex.com/TranslateService.asmx?wsdl";// Path to .asmx file
$namespace = "http://www.webservicex.net"; // name space found in WSDL - wsdl:definitions targetNamespace="http://www.webservicex.net"
$client = new soapclient($wsdl); // Crete a new SOAP client
$mysoapmsg = $client->serializeEnvelope ( '<Translate xmlns="http://www.webservicex.net"><LanguageMode>EnglishTOJapanese</LanguageMode><Text>Demo</Text></Translate>', '', array (), 'document', 'literal' );
$response = $client->send($mysoapmsg, $soapaction);
if ($client->fault) {// if some failure occure
print_r($response);

}
echo '<h2>Request</h2><pre>' . htmlspecialchars($client->request, ENT_QUOTES) . '</pre>';
echo '<h2>Response</h2><pre>' . htmlspecialchars($client->response, ENT_QUOTES) . '</pre>';
echo '<h2>Debug</h2><pre>' . htmlspecialchars($client->getDebug(), ENT_QUOTES) . '</pre>';
?>
