POSTING XML USING GUZZLE CLIENT LARAVEL - laravel

Question

I am a laravel junior developer and i have been using gazzle http for handling my requests, now i have a task of integrating Collections to a system. The provided API only wants me to post XML data. When i use Json, it works well, but now i have a task of posting xml through gazzle. how can i do it.
with Json,
$response = $client->request('POST', 'https://app.apiproviders.com/api/payment/donate', [
'form_params' => [
'name' => 'TIG Test',
'amount' => $amount,
'number' => str_replace('+', '',$this->senders_contact),
'chanel' => 'TIG',
'referral' => str_replace('+', '',$this->senders_contact)
]
]);
the desired XML format to post:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<AutoCreate>
<Request>
<Method>acdepositfunds</Method>
<NonBlocking></NonBlocking>
<Amount>500</Amount>
<Account>256702913454</Account>
<AccountProviderCode></AccountProviderCode>
<Narrative>Testing the API</Narrative>
<NarrativeFileName>receipt.doc</NarrativeFileName>
<NarrativeFileBase64>aSBhbSBwYXlpbmcgNjAwMDAgc2hpbGxpbmdz</NarrativeFileBase64>
</Request>
</AutoCreate>
how can i pass this xml to gazzle in laravel??

Answer 1

I had a same problem a while ago, and I found a good solution using AttayToXml package. All you need to do is to create an array of your data:
$array = [
'Request' => [
'Method' => 'value',
'NonBlocking' => 'value',
'Amount' => 'value',
//and so on...
]
];
Then, you convert this array to xml, using the convert() method, where you pass the name of the root element of your xml:
$xml = ArrayToXml::convert($array, 'AutoCreate');
And this will create your desired xml:
<AutoCreate>
<Request>
<Method>acdepositfunds</Method>
<NonBlocking></NonBlocking>
<Amount>500</Amount>
//and so on...
</Request>
</AutoCreate>
And then, send it through Guzzle client with something like this, which I used in on of my projects:
$request = $httpClient->post($yourUrl, [
'body' => $xml,
'http_errors' => true,
'verify' => false,
'defaults' => ['verify' => false]
]);

<?php
~~~
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;
~~~
$xml = new \SimpleXMLElement('<Hogeattribute></Hogeattribute>');
$xml->addChild('hogeId', 'hoge1');
$response = Http::withBody(
$xml->asXML(),
'text/xml'
)->post('https://hoge');
$json = json_encode(simplexml_load_string($response->body()));
$data = json_decode($json, true);
