I am trying to set up a web service using php. I have successfully been able to create one using the PHP SOAP extension. However, I want the service to be available through simple HTTP POST and HTTP GET calls. In order to make it simple, I am trying to translate the example at http://www.w3schools.com/webservices/ws_example.asp to be working in a php environment.
The server localhost/tempconvert.php looks like:
<?php
function CelsiusToFahrenheit($celcius){
return (((($celcius) * 9) / 5) + 32);
}
function FahrenheitToCelsius($fahrenheit){
return (((($fahrenheit) - 32) / 9) * 5);
}
// turn off the wsdl cache
ini_set("soap.wsdl_cache_enabled", "0");
$server = new SoapServer("tempconvert.wsdl");
$server->addFunction("CelsiusToFahrenheit");
$server->addFunction("FahrenheitToCelsius");
$server->handle();
?>
and the client localhost/tempclient.php looks like:
<?php
// turn off the WSDL cache
ini_set("soap.wsdl_cache_enabled", "0");
$client = new SoapClient("tempconvert.wsdl");
$cels = 32;
$fahr = $client->CelsiusToFahrenheit($cels);
echo "$cels in fahr is: $fahr";
?>
and finally the wsdl file localhost/tempconvert.wsdl looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Using the client works fine and output the corrent result. Calling the server using localhost/tempconvert.php?WSDL outputs the wsdl content.
However, calling the server localhost/tempcovert.php using the HTTP POST port with the payload Celsius=100 does not work and gives a HTTP error 500 response?
Shouldn't the SOAP extension functionality take care of this?
...or do I have to add functionality in the server file myself? (like using: if ($_POST) ...)
