I am new to web services, so kindly bear with me. I am building a WordPress website for a client where they require some data to be stored in a custom table. They have an application which fetches the data from some other vendor. Now they don't want to give us access to their application or the 3rd party vendor. So they want us to implement a web service which will consume the data sent by them to update our …

I'm developing a wordpress plugin and need to perform soap calls. After understanding that cURL isn't option (manage to run some code in my browser but can't make it work within the plugin), I'm trying to use SoapClient by php5. the connection seems to be working since i'm able to print out the __getFunctions() var: StatusResponse Status(Status $parameters)" [1]=> string(65) "AdministrationResponse Administration(Administration $parameters)" [2]=> string(74) "FetchPropertyListResponse FetchPropertyList(FetchPropertyList $parameters)" [3]=> string(77) "FetchPropertyGroupResponse FetchPropertyGroup(FetchPropertyGroup $parameters)" [4]=> string(74) "FetchPropertyInfoResponse FetchPropertyInfo(FetchPropertyInfo $parameters)" [5]=> string(98) …

I can make SOAP calls from by example the woocommerce_payment_complete hook or from the WP CLI. If I make the exact same call from wp_loaded I get the SOAP Error: failed to load external entity Is it bad practice to hook on wp_loaded? I understood that wordpress was fully loaded, I do this to receive callbacks from an external service but there's maybe a better way to do it? (I'm pretty new to Wordpress development). add_action('wp_loaded', function() { $uri = …

I have release my first plugin (mz mindbody api - which relies on SOAP and PEAR), and a user in Germany is getting syntax error unexpected T_FUNCTION when they try to install it on a clean install using a theme that I can run the plugin on (twentyfourteen). The error line apparently references the usort in the following code: function sortClassesByDate($mz_classes = array()) { $mz_classesByDate = array(); foreach($mz_classes as $class) { $classDate = date("Y-m-d", strtotime($class['StartDateTime'])); if(!empty($mz_classesByDate[$classDate])) { $mz_classesByDate[$classDate] = array_merge($mz_classesByDate[$classDate], …

I am attempting to build out a dashboard widget that will perform a validation check on a site RSS feed using the W3 Validator. Their API docs (http://feed2.w3.org/docs/soap.html) provide the method. Here is my function to get the data: $feed = 'http://domain.com/feed/'; $request = new WP_Http; $url = 'http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url='.urlencode($feed).'&output=soap12'; $response = wp_remote_get ( $url ); if( is_wp_error( $response ) ) { echo '<p>Sorry, there was an error with your request.</p>'; } else { $feed_data = $response['body']; } Here is the …

(It is my assumption that a company publishing plugins would be much better off to develop RESTful web services but I am wanting to validate this opinion by surveying the opinions of others here. …

What is the best way to embed a SOAP client into a WordPress plugin that one would distribute via the WordPress plugin repository? Is it best to use? The PHP 5.x Soap Client, The Zend Soap Client, The NuSoap Toolkit for PHP, The PEAR SOAP Client/Server for PHP, or Some other SOAP client for PHP? What's more, why recommend the one you do? And what are the pros and cons of each. "Bonus (karma) points" if you have actual experiences …
