ok I'm trying to connect to a web service that uses the OTA XML Schema (" http://www.opentravel.org/OTA/2003/05/GetVehAvailRate ")
this web service is hosted on rentcentric.com, which is a hosted online booking solution. Connecting to the system requires a username and password, and so far every attempt to connect has led to a blank white page.
no error messages without PHP output,
I'm still pretty new to using SOAP (although I had great success using it on a real estate agents website for which didnt require any authentication just to identify the company in this service)
I read and tried almost all the examples found on this site, and others without joy!
the request specified in the service is described below, each request has a basic set of arguments, which:
PickUpDateTime //date ReturnDateTime //date PickUpLocation.locationCode //string ReturnLocation.locationCode //string PromotionCod //string
service url http://www2.rentcentric.com/Ota2007a/OTASrvc.asmx has all the methods available to us.
# GetVehAvailRate
Request -: GetVehAvailRate

code example:
$soapClient = new SoapClient("http://www2.rentcentric.com/Ota2007a/OTASrvc.asmx?wsdl"); // Prepare SoapHeader parameters $sh_param = array( 'Username'=>'username', 'Password'=>'password'); $headers = new SoapHeader('http://www2.rentcentric.com/Ota2007a/', 'UserCredentials', $sh_param); // Prepare Soap Client $soapClient->__setSoapHeaders(array($headers));
I just nail my head against the wall, trying to get something back, Everything I need is pointed in the right direction ...
