PHP webservice SOAPClient error

I have a webserivce and just doing simple thing to call webservice in SOAP Client

i.e.

$client = new SoapClient("http://test.unistream.com/wcflib/service.svc?WSDL");

It says

SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: 'IWebService_GetCountries_InputMessage' already defined

web service is

http://test.unistream.com/wcflib/service.svc?WSDL

Thanks.

I experienced the same error with my system : the Soap client was in PHP (5.3.10) and the server side was written in .NET :

  • I loaded the wsdl "Foo.wsdl" from PHP
  • Then the "Foo.wsdl" did an import of "Bar.wsdl"
  • then "Bar.wsdl" import again "Foo.wsdl"
  • PHP crash with "SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: bla bla already defined

To avoid this, i simply use the case-unsensitive standard feature of .net, and I call the first wsdl in lower case ("foo.wsdl") instead of original case (Foo.wsdl). It worked because now, foo.wsdl import Bar.wsdl, and Bar.wsdl import Foo.wsdl, and by a curious things i cant explain, PHP likes that.

The issue is that the 'IWebService_GetCountries_InputMessage' type is defined more than once in that WSDL. This is not an error with your code, but with the WSDL you are attempting to consume. You should talk to whoever wrote the WSDL to see if they can recreate it and fix the issue.
