How to consume Dynamics GP web services from PHP

Hello,

I have Dynamics GP web services 2015 installed and working.

I can consume successfully web services using Visual Studio C#.

My client has an application, central to its business, developed and working in PHP. Both (GP and the php application) are physically located in different networks. So, we decided to consume GP web services from PHP.

I couldn't find documentation specific for this task. Can anyone give an example of how to connect to the native endpoint, authenticate a user and consume a service from PHP?

I found this information after several weeks of searching the internet. It explains how to call asmx or wcf web services from PHP. www.sbp-romania.com/.../how-to-call-a-wcf-asmx-web-service-from-php.aspx

I'd like to include here that this link given by Jamesss doesn't mention anything related to Authentication. It's a plain tutorial on how to setup SOAPClient on PHP and nothing else :(

Looking through our case history, the only thing I could find in regards to Web Services and PHP is that you have to flatten the wsdl with PHP or some PHP tool. How to do that or what that tool would be, I can't tell you because we don't have anything for it, nor has this ever been tested by our GP Development team.

We support Visual Studio, where you don't need to do any of this.

Maybe someone on this forums has tried something like this and can give some info.........

What do you mean by "flatten the wsdl file"? It's read just fine by PHP, the problem is there's no documentation whatsoever on what types of authentication are needed, nor the WSDL mentions that, nor there are ANY error messages sent by the server explaining what's needed. I had to discover by trial and error it needs WSA, for instance.

My apologies, as I was just copying what mentioned in the one and only support case I found that mentioned 'Web Services' for Dynamics GP and 'PHP'. That being said, there's no documentation because as mentioned PHP has never been tested and thus isn't supported with Web Services for Dynamics GP.

Does this mean what you're doing won't work? No, it just means that as far as the Dynamics GP support team, even in a support case, there is little if anything we'd be able to provide unless you were actually getting some type of error or exception that was specific to how Web Services was working.

Looking online as well, there isn't much found in regards to Web Services and PHP, so I don't know how many people have actually done any work with this, but hopefully someone may have something to add.........

Thanks
