PHP Manual: Performs a SOAP request

Description

public stringnull SoapClient::__doRequest(
    string $request,
    string $location,
    string $action,
    int $version,
    bool $oneWay = false,
    stringnull $uriParserClass = null
)

Performs SOAP request over HTTP.

This method can be overridden in subclasses to implement different transport layers, perform additional XML processing or other purpose.

Parameters

request: The XML SOAP request.
location: The URL to request.
action: The SOAP action.
version: The SOAP version.
oneWay: If oneWay is set to true, this method returns nothing. Use this where a response is not expected.
uriParserClass: The classname to use for parsing the redirection URI when a "Location" header is received in the response, or null to use the default, parse_url based parsing.

Return Values

The XML SOAP response.

Changelog

Version	Description
8.5.0	The optional parameter `uriParserClass` has been added.
8.0.0	The type of `oneWay` is bool now; formerly it was int.
