How to Make Soap Request In Laravel?

To make a SOAP request in Laravel, you can use the PHP SoapClient class provided by PHP. First, you need to create an instance of the SoapClient class with the URL of the SOAP server endpoint as a parameter. Then, you can call the methods provided by the SoapClient class to make SOAP requests such as calling a specific SOAP method with its parameters.

Here is an example of how you can make a SOAP request in Laravel:

use \SoapClient;

$client = new SoapClient('http://example.com/soap/server?wsdl');
$response = $client->specificSoapMethod(['param1' => 'value1', 'param2' => 'value2']);

// Handle the SOAP response
if ($response) {
    // Do something with the SOAP response
    echo $response;
} else {
    // Handle the SOAP request failure
    echo 'SOAP request failed';
}

Make sure to replace the URL with the actual endpoint URL of the SOAP server and replace specificSoapMethod with the actual SOAP method you want to call. Additionally, you may need to handle any exceptions that may be thrown during the SOAP request.

How to consume a SOAP service in Laravel?

To consume a SOAP service in Laravel, you can follow these steps:

1. Install the Laravel SoapClient package by running the following command in your terminal:

1

composer require phpro/soap-client

1. Create a new SOAP client instance in your controller or any other appropriate file like so:

use Phpro/SoapClient/ClientBuilder;

$client = ClientBuilder::create('http://example.com/soap/wsdl')
    ->withClassMap(MyClassMap::get())
    ->withSoapOptions([
        'cache_wsdl' => WSDL_CACHE_NONE,
    ])
    ->build();
    
$response = $client->MySoapMethod(['param1' => 'value1', 'param2' => 'value2']);

1. Make sure to replace http://example.com/soap/wsdl with the actual WSDL URL of your SOAP service, and MySoapMethod with the actual method you want to call.
2. You can then use the $response variable to access the data returned by the SOAP service.

That's it! You have successfully consumed a SOAP service in Laravel using the SoapClient package.

How to send a SOAP request in Laravel?

In Laravel, you can send a SOAP request using the SoapClient class that is available in PHP. Here is an example of how you can send a SOAP request in Laravel:

1. First, make sure that the SOAP extension is enabled in your PHP configuration.
2. Install the ext-soap extension if it is not already installed. You can do this by running the following command:

1

sudo apt-get install php-soap

1. Create a new controller or add the following code to an existing controller:

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class SoapController extends Controller
{
    public function sendSoapRequest(Request $request)
    {
        $wsdl = "http://example.com/soap/wsdl"; // Specify the WSDL URL
        $client = new \SoapClient($wsdl, array('trace' => 1));

        // Specify the SOAP request parameters
        $params = array(
            'param1' => 'value1',
            'param2' => 'value2',
        );

        // Send the SOAP request
        $response = $client->__soapCall('methodName', array($params));

        // Get the response data
        $responseData = $response->methodNameResult;

        return response()->json($responseData);
    }
}

1. Replace the http://example.com/soap/wsdl with the actual WSDL URL of the SOAP service you want to call.
2. Replace methodName with the actual method name you want to call in the SOAP service.
3. You can now send a SOAP request by making a POST request to the sendSoapRequest method in your controller.
4. Make sure to add the necessary error handling and validation logic to handle any potential errors that may occur during the SOAP request.

That's it! You have now sent a SOAP request in Laravel using the SoapClient class.

How to log SOAP requests in Laravel?

You can log SOAP requests in Laravel by using the Monolog library, which is the default logging library in Laravel.

Here's an example of how you can log SOAP requests in Laravel:

1. Install Monolog if it's not already installed in your Laravel project:

1

composer require monolog/monolog

1. Create a new Monolog handler for logging SOAP requests. You can create a new file called SOAPLogger.php in your app/Logging directory:

<?php

namespace App\Logging;

use Monolog\Handler\AbstractProcessingHandler;

class SOAPLogger extends AbstractProcessingHandler
{
    protected function write(array $record): void
    {
        // Log the SOAP request
        info('SOAP Request: ' . print_r($record['message'], true));
    }
}

1. Register the new Monolog handler in your config/logging.php file:

'stack' => [
    'driver' => 'stack',
    'channels' => ['daily'],
],

'daily' => [
    'driver' => 'daily',
    'path' => storage_path('logs/laravel.log'),
    'level' => 'debug',
    'days' => 7,
],

'soap' => [
    'driver' => 'custom',
    'via' => App\Logging\SOAPLogger::class,
    'level' => 'debug',
],

1. Define a new logging channel in your config/logging.php file:

1
2
3

'channels' => [
    'stack' => [
        'driver' => 'stack',
        'channels' => ['daily', 'soap'],
    ],
    ...
],

1. Use the new soap channel to log SOAP requests in your Laravel application like this:

1
2
3
4

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log;

// Log a SOAP request
Log::channel('soap')->debug($soapRequest);

Now, you can log SOAP requests in Laravel using the Log facade with the soap channel. The SOAP requests will be logged to the specified log file with the specified log level.
