PHP SOAP response contains an attribute with different xmlns and shows up empty

For the last few days I am cracking my brains on the following problem: I use the following code to send a request to the SOAP service:

$client = new SoapClient(WSDL,  array('soap_version'=> SOAP_1_2, 'trace' => 1));

$result = $client->getHumanResourceID(array(
    'cCode' => CLIENT_CODE,
    'hFilter' => array('deltaDatum' => '2010-01-01T00:00:00-00:00')
));

Partly var_dump($result) shows:

object(stdClass)#2 (1) {
  ["getHumanResourceIDResult"]=>
  object(stdClass)#3 (1) {
    ["EntityIdType"]=>
    array(4999) {
      [0]=>
      object(stdClass)#4 (2) {
        ["IdValue"]=>
        object(stdClass)#5 (0) {
        }
        ["idOwner"]=>
        string(8) "internal"
      }
      [1]=>
      object(stdClass)#6 (2) {
        ["IdValue"]=>
        object(stdClass)#7 (0) {
        }
        ["idOwner"]=>
        string(8) "internal"
      }

Something strange is happening in the objects of EntityType, it contains an object with idValue and idOwner. IdValue should contain other attributes or fields. On this moment I don't have any clue what to add or modify in order to receive those values.

A part of the raw SOAP response:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <soap:Body>
        <getHumanResourceIDResponse xmlns="http://soapWeb.org/">   
            <getHumanResourceIDResult>
                <EntityIdType idOwner="internal">
                    <IdValue xmlns="http://ns.hr-xml.org/2007-04-15">5429</IdValue>
                </EntityIdType>
            </getHumanResourceIDResult>
        </getHumanResourceIDResponse>
    </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

What I noticed is the xmlns in the IdValue field and I can imagine that the returned object is null because the namespace is not included.

Any help and suggestions are more then appreciated!

Since the response contains multiple namespaces, you need to use registerXpathNamespaces (if using SimpleXML, for DOM, there are similar methods.) function to read all the values.

$xml = <<<XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <soap:Body>
        <getHumanResourceIDResponse xmlns="http://soapWeb.org/">   
            <getHumanResourceIDResult>
                <EntityIdType idOwner="internal">
                    <IdValue xmlns="http://ns.hr-xml.org/2007-04-15">5429</IdValue>
                </EntityIdType>
            </getHumanResourceIDResult>
        </getHumanResourceIDResponse>
    </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
XML;

$xml = simplexml_load_string( $xml );

$xml->registerXPathNamespace( 's', 'http://soapWeb.org/' );

$xpath = $xml->xpath( '//s:getHumanResourceIDResponse' );

foreach( $xpath as $node ) {
    $idValue = ( string ) $node->getHumanResourceIDResult->EntityIdType->IdValue;
    $idOwner = ( string ) $node->getHumanResourceIDResult->EntityIdType[ 'idOwner' ];

    echo 'IdValue : ' . $idValue . '<br />';
    echo 'IdOwner : ' . $idOwner;
}

Hope this helps.
