PHP call to .NET soap webservice

Question

I know there are a lot of questions and tutorials about a php call to a soap webservice, but I don't understand how it works for me.

I have made a .NET Windows Communication Foundation Webservice with a couple of very easy methods.

I used this tutorial: http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/dhananjaycoder/four-steps-to-create-first-wcf-service-for-beginners/

I want to call this methods from PHP. I have made a php document with single lines of code. I can get the list of functions from my service and i can send some data to the webservice. But, the parameters in the methods of my webservice are empty but still the breakpoint is triggered and the return value will be returned to my PHP!

I guess that I miss a lot of things about header, parameters, security and more stuff like that. Can someone tell me what I miss and what I should do to get it?

My ServiceContract:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.Text;

namespace Service
{
    // NOTE: You can use the "Rename" command on the "Refactor" menu to change the interface name "ICalculator" in both code and config file together.
    [ServiceContract]
    public interface ICalculator
    {

        [OperationContract]
      double AddNumbers(double number1, double number2);

        [OperationContract]
      double SubstractNumbers(double number1, double number2);

        [OperationContract]
      double MultiplyNumbers(double number1, double number2);

        [OperationContract]
      double DivisionNumbers(double number1, double number2);
    }
}

My Service:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.Text;

namespace Service
{
    // NOTE: You can use the "Rename" command on the "Refactor" menu to change the class name "Calculator" in code, svc and config file together.
    // NOTE: In order to launch WCF Test Client for testing this service, please select Calculator.svc or Calculator.svc.cs at the Solution Explorer and start debugging.
    public class Calculator : ICalculator
    {
        public double AddNumbers(double number1, double number2)
        {
            double result = number1 + number2;
            return result;
        }

        public double SubstractNumbers(double number1, double number2)
        {
            double result = number1 - number2;
            return result;
        }

        public double MultiplyNumbers(double number1, double number2)
        {
            double result = number1 * number2;
            return result;
        }

        public double DivisionNumbers(double number1, double number2)
        {
            double result = number1 / number2;
            return result;
        }  
    }
}

PHP

<?php

try{
    echo '<pre>';

    $client = new SoapClient('http://localhost:1336/Calculator.svc?wsdl');
    print_r($client->AddNumbers(12,21));

}catch(Exception $e){
    echo 'Exception: '. $e->getMessage() .'\n';
}
?>

Answer 1

Your WebConfig file specifies a HTTPS protocol :

<protocolMapping>
    <add binding="basicHttpsBinding" scheme="https" />
</protocolMapping>

And PHP attempts a connection on HTTP :

$client = new SoapClient('http://localhost:1336/Calculator.svc?wsdl');

Try changing one or another so they match.
Prefer HTTP for testing to avoid a potential certificate problems.

Also, the AddNumbers method expect to receive two arguments.

double AddNumbers(double number1, double number2);

Theses aren't provided in the PHP call.

print_r($client->AddNumbers());
