CustomerReferences entry not included in FedEx web service request generated via PHP | Newbie | | Join Date: Sep 2009

I am working on this FedEx web service integration project for some time. I am using PHP to make calls to the FedEx server. Everything seems to be working properly.
But I am having problems with CustomerReferences fields appearing in the original fedex request that is sent to the server. I am using the ShipService_v7.wsdl. I asked FedEx tech support saying that would not be able to help with PHP code. But my problem is even the sample code provided by fedex is not able to generate the customerreferences fields in the request sent to the server.
Would you guys happen to know whats the deals with this?

I am not sure if anyone has experience in the "ShipService_v7.wsdl", however there are a lot of PHP experts here, so how about you give what PHP you are having trouble with, or think where the problem lies, and we can have a look. I am a little confused with your probelm description too: who is making the request, and how does that affect you? Do you want the CustomerReference fields for processing?

@TheServant thanks for replying.
1. My application is making the fedex "Create Shipment" request to the fedex web server via SOAP.
2. Well the request obejct that is being created at my end does not have the entry for "CustomerReferences" in it - even though I explicitly mention that in my PHP code.
3. I need to CustomerReferences field to be displayed on the final output - which is possible only if they are present in the request object. PHP CODE -
-
$client = new SoapClient($path_to_wsdl, array('trace' => 1)); // Refer to http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.soap.php for more information
-
-
$request['WebAuthenticationDetail'] = array('UserCredential' =>

array('Key' => $DEVELOPER_KEY, 'Password' => $DEVELOPER_PASSWORD)); // Replace 'XXX' and 'YYY' with FedEx provided credentials

what if you try - 'CustomerReferences' => array('CustomerReferenceType' => 'CUSTOMER_REFERENCE', 'Value' => 'TC007_07_PT1_ST01_PK01_SNDUS_RCPCA_POS'));
instead of - 'CustomerReferences' => array('0' => array('CustomerReferenceType' => 'CUSTOMER_REFERENCE', 'Value' => 'TC007_07_PT1_ST01_PK01_SNDUS_RCPCA_POS')));
(line #55)?
