Is it possible to integrate NuSoap library into Fuel framework without changes? Or I need to convert it into package or something like that?

I think NuSoap can generate WSDL files, which the native SOAP extension is unable to do. The easiest would be to put NuSoap into app/vendor directory and edit the bootstrap to include the appropriate autoload.
If you create a package you'll need to update the package each time NuSoap releases an update if you want to keep everything clean. So keeping the original NuSoap source code as it is in a separate "vendor" directory is not a bad idea. Alternatively, the package could just do the same: configure the autoloader and keep the whole original NuSoap source code as it is in the package. Up to you.

You can easily create wsdl with Eclipse IDE. NuSoap is dead library ... but is's your choice

Last I looked it had been dead for years, but I see they released a new version last year. Any reason to use it over PHP's native SOAP extension? Converting into a package is often a good idea, another way is to just put it somewhere and load it as its docs describe (often requires an extra autoloader belonging to the library). The convetion we use in the core is to put it into a vendor dir, so for your app you'd put it into app/vendor/nusoap for example.

I'll go with app/vendor solution.. Thanks to both of you.

Ok, I'm stucked.. I've put complete nusoap lib to ./fuel/app/vendor/NuSoap/, and edited ./fuel/app/bootstrap.php:

Autoloader::add_classes(array(
 'NuSoap' => APPPATH.'vendor/NuSoap/nusoap.php',
));

And in test controler have this:

$client = new nusoap_client("http://soap.amazon.com/onca/soap2", false);

but that throws me an error: ErrorException [ Error ]: Class 'nusoap_client' not found I feel I need to do something else, or I'm calling nusoap_client incorrectly.. Any idea?

Jelmer Schreuder

You've told our autoloader where to find the NuSoap class, how would it now where to find "nusoap_client"? Check out the NuSoap docs, it'll probably explain how to load it in a way that makes its classes available to you.

Badass

I'm doing same way as in NuSoap docs.. There was an example like this

require_once('lib/nusoap.php');
$soap_client = new nusoap_client('http://something.com', true);

Still trying to figure it out, thanks

Jelmer Schreuder

Adding something to the autoloader won't load it, it only tells the autoloader where to find the class when you request it. NuSoap works outside Fuel's normal loading, I'd advice you to just use require to load it when you need it.

Badass

Ahh, that makes sense.. just added this:

require_once(APPPATH.'vendor/NuSoap/nusoap.php');

and now it works.. Thanks

Badass

I've extended base.php and modified "import" method to support loading app vendor classes.
