Using SOAP to generate XML attributes in PHP

Question

I need to generate the following XML with SOAP:

<MetaDataConstraint class="topics">
     <Value>FRX</Value>
</MetaDataConstraint>

I am not sure how to generate the attributes.

Based on: Using SOAP to generate XML attributes in PHP, I tried to do the following, but unfortunatelly it does not work.

$myFilter = array("MetaDataConstraint" => array("_" => array("Value" => "FRX")), "class" => "topics");

How can I solve it ?

Do you simply need to create the XML structure to send via a SOAP operation?? In other words, are you only really needing this XML layout in a simple PHP string variable? Apologies if I have misunderstood, but I am trying to get more clarity on the questions. — SimonDowdles

I seem to have misunderstood, sorry, after reading the link you posted I get where you're coming from, and will see what I can muster up. — SimonDowdles

Well, what I need to do is the following: $headlinesArray = array( 'TimeOut' => "600", 'MaxCount' => "10", 'MaxCountPerFilter' => "true", 'StartTime' => "2010-08-10T00:00:00", 'EndTime' => "2010-08-12T00:00:00", 'Direction' => "Newer", 'Filter' => $myFilter ); $myRequest = array( 'HeadlineMLRequest' => $headlinesArray ); and then: $myResponse = $client2->__soapCall('RetrieveHeadlineML_1', array('parameters' => $myRequest), null, $myHeaders); — Vadim

Try:

$obj = new stdClass();
$obj->class = "topics";
$obj->Value = "FRX";
$myfilter = $obj;
