I'm still gettin the error SoapFault exception: [soap:Client] Server was unable to read request. ---> There is an error in XML document (2, 591). ---> Input string was not in a correct format. in /Users/johnlai/Sites/authorize/ api_authorize_net_soap_v1.php:1869 Stack trace: #0 /Users/johnlai/ Sites/authorize/api_authorize_net_soap_v1.php(1869): SoapClient- >__soapCall('ARBCreateSubscr...', Array) #1 /Users/johnlai/Sites/ authorize/subscription_create.php(22): AuthorizeNetWS- >ARBCreateSubscription(Object(ARBCreateSubscription)) #2 {main} I ran into the same problem, and noticed that the calls worked as they should from XAMPP under Windows, but threw exceptions under Linux (LAMP). I finally found the solution by comparing raw XML streams: the LAMP SOAP lib seems to send empty strings for undefined object fields, while the XAMPP lib omits the fields in the XML (the correct behavior). In particular, the LAMP lib was sending empty strings for trialAmount and trialOccurrences, which caused auth.net to reject the call. The workaround is to set these fields to valid values. The same problem occurs if you try to use other objects in the ARB SOAP interface, and the same workaround applies. I contacted auth.net on this, who eventually passed me back an unhelpful answer from their "developer" (apparently there is only one). It's amazing that this basic issue exists and is not addressed anywhere, they seem to have done no testing under LAMP which has to be the most common dev environment... thank you so much for this excellent post. problem solved!!! i was wondering where you got the xml stream. i tried writing a few objects or uncommenting some test lines, but is there a way to write the xml object somewhere to see what it is that's malformed? the original error i was receiving on the test code was $ws->ARBCreateSubscription($req); i don't even know which object is the top of the xml or how to get a look at the final sent xml file. any help, awesome! thanx. well, since the question is already here, i'll put the answer that i found. if you want to see the output, create your SoapClient with trace on. new SoapClient($wsdl, array('trace' => 1)) then ask it to write. if the trace is not turned on, these echo nothing! echo "Request :<br>", htmlspecialchars($soapClient- >__getLastRequest()), "<br>"; echo "Response :<br>", htmlspecialchars($soapClient- >__getLastResponse()), "<br>"; Update: Auth.net seems to have just changed their WSDL: <s:complexType name="PaymentType"> <s:sequence> <s:choice minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"> <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="bankAccount" type="tns:BankAccountType"/> <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="creditCard" type="tns:CreditCardType"/> </s:choice> </s:sequence> </s:complexType> Since the LAMP SOAP library converts the null object field bankAccount to the empty XML field <ns1:bankAccount/>, auth.net thinks we are trying to do an eCheck transaction and comes back with an error. Explicitly setting bankAccount = NULL in PHP does not help, the only solution I could find was to comment out the field $bankAccount in class PaymentType in api_authorize_net_soap_v1.php. The ongoing problem is that the PHP SOAP libraries may convert null object fields to empty XML fields instead of omitting the fields from the XML stream altogether. The only reliable way I can see to avoid this is to manually construct the XML stream by hand instead of using the PHP objects. |
