(^292) CHAPTER 19 ■ INTRODUCTION TO WEB SERVICES WITH SOAP
■Note If you do not want to work with WSDL files on the client side, you can provide null as a parameter
to work in non-WSDL mode. If you do that, you will need to set the location and URI options explicitly.
The soapCall() method calls a SOAP operation. Typically, you will just use the operation
name as a method of the SoapClient class, but if you need extra functionality, you may use
soapCall() instead.
Ta b l e 19 - 1. SoapClient::__construct() Options
Option Description
uri The target namespace of the web service (http://localhost/demo).
location The URL where the service exists (http://localhost/service.php).
