Soap response object disappears

[CaptainChainsaw]

Hi all,

 

Would anyone be able to explain why I get a value in the variables "$redirecturl" and "$message" in the first example below but not in the second example?

 

As soon as the condition to check for success has been evaluated the object disappears:

 

if ($result->GetUnsecuredLenderResult->Success) {   // object disapepars after this line

 

 

 

Works in this example:

 

try {
$result = $client->GetUnsecuredLender(
$params
);

	$continueurl = trim($result->GetUnsecuredLenderResult->ContinueUrl);
                $responsetext = trim($result->GetUnsecuredLenderResult->ResponseText);
	if ($result->GetUnsecuredLenderResult->Success) { 
		$result = "A";
		$redirecturl = $continueurl; 
		$message = $responsetext;
	} else { // reject
		$result = "R";
		$redirecturl = $continueurl; 
		$message =  $responsetext; 

	}

} catch (Exception $e) {  // exception
	$result = "E";
	$redirecturl = "";
	$message = $e->getMessage();
}

 

 

Doesn't work in this example:

 

try {
$result = $client->GetUnsecuredLender(
$params
);

	if ($result->GetUnsecuredLenderResult->Success) { 
		$result = "A";
		$redirecturl = trim($result->GetUnsecuredLenderResult->ContinueUrl);
		$message =  trim($result->GetUnsecuredLenderResult->ResponseText);
	} else { // reject
		$result = "R";
		$redirecturl = trim($result->GetUnsecuredLenderResult->ContinueUrl);
		$message =  trim($result->GetUnsecuredLenderResult->ResponseText);

	}

} catch (Exception $e) {  // exception
	$result = "E";
	$redirecturl = "";
	$message = $e->getMessage();
}

 

 

Any advice on this would be appreciated as always.

 

Cheers,

You overwrite the object:

 

if ($result->GetUnsecuredLenderResult->Success) {  // $result === object
		$result = "A"; // $result === string

 

PHP is dynamic typed which means that it's type is defined by whatever you assign it.

Ahhh yeah, that was glaringly obvious, couldn't see the wood for the trees.  Thank you, makes perfect sense!
