Alpha Rooms Webservice

[stownsend]

Evening All

I'm pulling my hair out trying to implment Alpharoms XML service,

My code is below, can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong ?

PHP Code:

<?php


//require_once('../includes/nusoap/lib/nusoap.php'); 


$url = "http://xml.###########x?WSDL";
$params = array(
    //'GetAffiliateAvailabilityByDestinationName'=> array(
    'AffiliateAuthentication'=> array(    
        'Code1'=>'######',
        'Code2'=>'####'),
     
    'ArrivalDate'=>'2008-08-01',
    'DepartureDate'=>'2008-08-08',
    'RoomType'=>'TwinRoom',
    'MasterDestination'=>'ae77c30b-7974-4a65-abd6-dc004d243abb'
//)
);
$client = new SoapClient($url);  
$result = $client->__call('GetAffiliateAvailabilityByDestinationName', $params);
echo $result;

?>

Cheers

hi Stu,

have a go with this...

PHP Code:

// include class + will need changing for your NuSoap set up
include("lib/nusoap.php");



$body = '<GetAffiliateAvailability xmlns="http://www.alpha-beds.com/">
            <AffiliateAuthentication>
            <Code1>******</Code1>
            <Code2>****</Code2>
              </AffiliateAuthentication>
              <ArrivalDate>'.$checkin_date.'</ArrivalDate>
              <DepartureDate>'.$checkout_date.'</DepartureDate>
              <RoomType>'.$roomtype.'</RoomType>
              <MasterDestination>'.$destinationID.'</MasterDestination>
        </GetAffiliateAvailability>';

$s = new soapclient('http://xml.alpharooms.com/affiliate.asmx');
$msg = $s->serializeEnvelope($body);

$s ->send($msg,'http://www.alpha-beds.com/GetAffiliateAvailability');

// Display the request and response

$xml = '<xmp>'.$s->response.'</xmp>';
//strip response of header
$xml = strstr($xml, '<GetAffiliateAvailabilityResult>');

///GET POS
$pos = strpos($xml,'</GetAffiliateAvailabilityResult>');
$length = strlen($xml);

$xml = substr($xml, 0, $pos);    

// echoes XML
echo $xml;

Hi Dan / Dave

Dan - Thanks for the code, yep it works on my laptop but not with my hosting company. I think they block the SOAP requests. I've sent them an email to find out.

Could I be a pain and ask for a copy of the destinations list etc..?

Dave - Thanks for the url, I had tried several from the Alparooms XML notes, I was running out of hair to pull out ;-)

I had to change soap constructor to $s = new nusoap_client("http://xml.alpharooms.com/affiliate.asmx"); from just soapclient.

Not sure why, I think it's down to their firewall as their engineers tried the scripts on several platforms in the office and it did not work but worked on several other hosting comany websites.

Hi Stu,

What PHP version are you running?

I know from 5 onwards it has its own SOAP construct that makes use of 'soapclient' hence why it needed changing

Destination list, can you jsut pop me an email and ill send the lot over

[stownsend]

This is the stange bit, my laptop is PHP Version 5.2.5,

The XML version:-

libxml
libXML support active
libXML Version 2.6.26
libXML streams enabled

The site stuarttownsend.co.uk is PHP Version 4.4.2

The XML version:-

domxml
DOM/XML enabled
DOM/XML API Version 20020815
libxml Version 20609
HTML Support enabled
XPath Support enabled
XPointer Support enabled

My current hosting company tried the script on several versions but neither worked. Whether they blocked certain calls and I know I have to use different includes for remote sites compared to local files.

Email sent ref Destination list.

Cheers

Stu
