[AG-DEV] PHP soap client connection to a VenueServer

[Michael Miller]

I figured it out.  I was using the example on this page:

Calling AG services using PHP5 SOAP

Perhaps hacking the Venue Server is distasteful to you. In that case, consider the possibility of an adapter that talks to the VenueServer on one side and presents suitable HTML representations on the other side. A simple example doing this with PHP follows.

$venueclient = new soapclient('https://vv3.mcs.anl.gov:8000/Venues/default');
print $venueclient->GetState(); 



the soapclient call parameter needs the '?WSDL' appended to the end:

I found the solution by trying the VenueBrowser.php file and finding the following near the end of the file:

try {
    $venueclient = new soapclient($venue_uri . "?WSDL",array("exceptions" => 0));
} 


Hope this helps
