SOAP Client fails to connect to SOAP Server

[goyalak]

Hi All,

I am new to PHP and am facing some problems.

I am trying to access the http://ops.espacenet.com/. Its a SOAP based service.

I am trying to access it via PHP (PEAR) from Apache web server on my computer. I connect to the web via a proxy server. I have enclosed the code below and also the error given. Any help will be appreciated.

[PHP]<?php
require_once('S OAP/Client.php');
$client = new SoapClient('htt p://ops.espacenet.c om/OpenPatentServi ces/webService/getPatentData?w sdl');

$request= '&lt;OpenPatent Services ACTION="Biblio" &gt;&lt;WORLDPA TENTDATA&gt;&lt ;BIBLIO SEED="US7000014 " SEED_FORMAT="E" SEED_TYPE="PN"/&gt;&lt;/WORLDPATENTDATA &gt;&lt;/OpenPatentServi ces&gt;';

$response = $client->getPatentData( $request);

print $response;
?>[/PHP]

Error:


[PHP]Warning: SoapClient::Soa pClient(http://ops.espacenet.c om/OpenPatentServi ces/webService/getPatentData?w sdl) [function.SoapCl ient-SoapClient]: failed to open stream: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. in C:\xampp\htdocs \ops\trail.php on line 3

Changed thread title to better describe the problem (did you know that threads whose titles do not follow the Posting Guidelines actually get FEWER responses?).

You can try to access this with PHP Web services framewrok. It is an open source PHP extension and has comprehensive support for Web services.
