NuSOAP on XAMPP with PHP5: failed to open stream - xampp

Question

Hey guys, I have a problem (again). This time I am trying to use NuSoap w/ XAMPP 1.7.1 which includes PHP5 and MySQL ... I wrote a soap-client:
<?php
// Pull in the NuSOAP code
require_once('nusoap.php');
// Create the client instance
$client = new soapclient('http://localhost/mysql/helloworld2.php');
// Check for an error
$err = $client->getError();
if ($err) {
// Display the error
echo '<p><b>Constructor error: ' . $err . '</b></p>';
// At this point, you know the call that follows will fail
}
// Call the SOAP method
$result = $client->call('hello', array('name' => 'Doro'));
// Check for a fault
if ($client->fault) {
echo '<p><b>Fault: ';
print_r($result);
echo '</b></p>';
} else {
// Check for errors
$err = $client->getError();
if ($err) {
// Display the error
echo '<p><b>Error: ' . $err . '</b></p>';
} else {
// Display the result
print_r($result);
}
}
?>
and my soap-server:
// Enable debugging *before* creating server instance
$debug = 1;
// Create the server instance
$server = new soap_server;
// Register the method to expose
$server->register('hello');
// Define the method as a PHP function
function hello($name) {
$dbhost = 'blah';
$dbuser = 'blub';
$dbpass = 'booboo';
try{
$conn = MYSQL_CONNECT($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass)
or die ('Error connecting to mysql');
if( !$conn ){
return 'Hello, '.$name.' ... too bad, I cannot connect to the db!';
}
else{
$dbname = 'soaperina';
MYSQL_SELECT_DB($dbname) or die('Error connecting to '.dbname);
$queryres = #mysql_db_query(
'response',
'SELECT * FROM farben');
return 'RESPONSE: <br>';
while( $arr = mysql_fetch_array( $queryres ) ){
return $arr["ID"]." - ".$arr["Farben"]." - ".$arr["Rating"]."<br>";
}
}
}
catch(Exception $e){
return 'Sorry, '.$name.', but that did not work at all!';
}
}
// Use the request to (try to) invoke the service
$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA = isset($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA) ? $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA : '';
$server->service($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA);
?>
I know that PHP works, the Apache works, MySQL works ... it also works together, but when I try to make it work with NuSOAP it does not work. I get following:
Warning:
SoapClient::SoapClient(http://localhost/mysql/helloworld2.php)
[soapclient.soapclient]: failed to
open stream: Ein Verbindungsversuch
ist fehlgeschlagen, da die Gegenstelle
nach einer bestimmten Zeitspanne nicht

hergestellte Verbindung war

on line 6
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of

I have no idea what that is supposed to mean. I hope ya'll can help!!! Thnx in advance :)

Answer 1

I used NuSOAP version 1.7.3 with PHP5. In this NuSOAP 1.7.3, soapclient class renamed by nu_soapclient.
You can try this:
$client = new nusoap_client('http://localhost/mysql/helloworld2.php');

Answer 2

to give an answer to my own question: nusoap has a problem with php5 ... there are some answers and some solutions on the net (not many), but they didn't work with me. I downgraded to php4 and it works fine ...
