PHP SOAP vs Zimbra

[suresh.gju]

how can i set both attribute and parameters at a time to a function call in PHP:
Above in this post way to set attribute or param are discussed but not both at a time.
i need this:
<SearchRequest limit="10" offset="20">
<query>is:unread</query>
</SearchRequest>

Thanks

Corey Scott,

First of all, thank you for sharing this, it was very useful to me!

I don't see any license information in the files. Do you plan to release it in a free license like the GPL ?

In the meantime, is it possible for me to redistribute it ?
I started building some functionality around your base class, and I would like to release my code with an open source license, and include your class for better ease of use.

Thanks in advance,
Nicolas.

Were you ever able to create a way to mass subscribe people in your company to your company Calendar? I'm looking to do a similar thing for our student calendar. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

extension=php_openssl.dll
extension=php_soap.dll
extension=php_curl.dll

I'd like to be able to quickly crank out scripts to do what I an across multiple account, for whatever features that aren't officially implemented yet .. if I really need that feature. For example, I'd like to auto-subscribe all employees to the company calendar.

So, I will probably reuse the authentication code. I've rewritten it into an OO way not sure if it's the best way, design-wise, but it's a start:

<form method="POST" action="soap.php">
username<br>
<input type="text" name="username"><br>
password<br>
<input type="text" name="password"><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"><br>
</form>

<?php
if (count($_POST))
{
    $password = $_POST['password'];
    $username = $_POST['username'];

    $ZimbraAuth = new ZimbraAuth($username, $password); 
    echo $ZimbraAuth->exec();
}

class ZimbraAuth
{
    private $client; 
    private $params; 
    
    function __construct($username, $password)
    {

        $this->client = new SoapClient(null,
            array(
                'location' => "https://zimbra.microsoft.com:7071/service/admin/soap/",
                'uri' => "urn:zimbraAdmin",
                'trace' => 1,
                'exceptions' => 1,
                'soap_version' => SOAP_1_1,
                'style' => SOAP_RPC,
                'use' => SOAP_LITERAL
            )
        );
        
        $this->params = array( new SoapParam($username, "name"), new SoapParam($password, "password") );
        
    }
    
    function exec()
    {
        try 
        {
            //echo "creating header...<br>";
            $soapHeader = new SoapHeader('urn:zimbra','context');
        
            //echo "trying...<br>";        
            $result = $this->client->__soapCall("AuthRequest", $this->params, null,$soapHeader);
            //echo "executed...<br>";    
        } 
        catch (SoapFault $exception) 
        {
            echo "exception caught!...<br><br>EXCEPTION START <<<<<<<<<<< <p>";
            echo $exception . "<br><br>";
            echo ">>>>>>>>>>>> EXCEPTION END<p>";
        
            echo htmlentities($client->__getLastRequest()) . "<br><br>";
            echo htmlentities($client->__getLastRequestHeaders()) . "<br><br>";
            echo htmlentities($client->__getLastResponseHeaders()) . "<br><br>";
            echo htmlentities($client->__getLastResponse()) . "<br><br>";
        
        }

        //echo "authToken says: ".$result['authToken'] . "<br>";
        //echo "logged in, continuing<br>";
        return $result['authToken'];
            
            
    }
    
} 
?>

I'm guessing it would make sense to have a separate ZimbraAuth class, like how people often have a separate database authentication class. Then I use the token for something like $ZimbraUser->create($authToken) or $ZimbraUser->ChangePassword($old, $new, $authToken).

I access the zimbra calendar and got the appointment. But it only returns the standard calendar appointment details. Not from other created calendars.

SOAP:
<SearchRequest xmlns="urn:zimbraMail" types="appointment" calExpandInstStart="'.$datestart.'000" calExpandInstEnd="'.$dateend.'000">
<query>in:calendar</query>
</SearchRequest>

Everyone was tearing their hair out back in 2006 about how to supply attributes to Zimbra SOAP function-name elements when Corey Scott saved the day:

Klude 2 (GetApptSummariesRequest):

Intead of defining the function name:
$strFunctionName = 'GetApptSummariesRequest';

Sadly you need this instead:
$strFunctionName = 'GetApptSummariesRequest s="' . $intTsStart . '" e="' . $intTsEnd . '"';

You get the output you need.

I've tried this trick for calling the SearchRequest function, which takes a 'type' attribute, but Corey's solution doesn't work for me.

I have this for my __soapCall():

$result = $client2->__soapCall(
    'SearchRequest type="contact"',         //  function name
    $params,                //  arguments
    null,                       //  options
    $soapHeader);        //  input headers

But the XML that's produced dumbly repeats the attributes for the closing tag:

<ns1:SearchRequest type="contact">
    <account>item:all</account>
</ns1:SearchRequest type="contact">

Corey, anyone, how did you get this to work? How can one use PHP SOAP and attach XML attributes to the function-name element?

Using Corey's SoapVar trick to attach attributes to *parameter* elements works fine. But I can't see how to do the same for the actual Zimbra functions which themselves require attributes.

Many thanks for any tips!
