Newsoap
=======

[](#newsoap)

A modernised fork of `nusoap`.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

### Composer (recommended)

[](#composer-recommended)

```
$ composer require monomelodies/newsoap
```

### Manual

[](#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?
-----------------

[](#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
-----

[](#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
-----

[](#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
