Calling ASP.NET web service and need an XML object

[Svideo]

I'm trying to use a ASP.NET webservice and new to php I am unsure as how the XML segment required in the add CreatePurchase call gets turned into an object that the web service and php server can use? WSDL is at the top and code lower.

 

 

<s:element name="CreatePurchase"><s:complexType><s:sequence><s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="axCustomer"><s:complexType><s:sequence><s:any/></s:sequence></s:complexType></s:element></s:sequence></s:complexType></s:element>


Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: length
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap12:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap12="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
  <soap12:Body>
    <CreatePurchase xmlns="http://xxx.xxx.com/webservices/">
      <axCustomer>xml</axCustomer>
    </CreatePurchase>
  </soap12:Body>
</soap12:Envelope


<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

$soapURL = "http://www.xxx.com/ActService/ActService.asmx?WSDL";

$client = new SoapClient($soapURL);

$result = $client->Login(array(
        "asUserName" => "xxx",
        "asPasssword" => "xxx"
));

var_dump($result);

$name = "Ron Howard";
$email = "rh@xxx.com";
$firstname = "Ron";
$lastname = "Howard";
$salutation = "Mr.";
$company = "RHP";
$address = "1313 Mockingbird Lane";
$address2 = "";
$city = "LA";
$statecode = "CA";
$countryISOcode = "USA";
$postcode = "99999";
$phone = "8888888";
$fax = "8888888";
$comments = "test 1";
$purchasedate = date("m/d/Y");



$writer = new XMLWriter();

$writer->openMemory();
$writer->setIndent(4);
$writer->startElement('Customer');
$writer->writeAttribute('Name', $name);
$writer->writeAttribute('EMail', $email);
$writer->writeAttribute('FirstName', $firstname);
$writer->writeAttribute('LastName', $lastname);
$writer->writeAttribute('Salutation', $salutation);
$writer->writeAttribute('Company', $company);

$writer->writeAttribute('PostCode', $postcode);
$writer->writeAttribute('Phone', $phone);
$writer->writeAttribute('Fax', $fax);
$writer->writeAttribute('Comments', $comments);

$writer->startElement('Purchase');

$writer->writeAttribute('LicenseID', '0');
$writer->writeAttribute('PurchaseDate', $purchasedate);
$writer->writeAttribute('Income', '0');
$writer->writeAttribute('Comments', 'Test');

$writer->endElement();
$writer->endElement();

$Customer1 = ($writer->outputMemory(True));

$xml = new xml($Customer1); <<<<<<<<<< ---- How do I turn this into the XML object that is needed in the call?

$result2 = $client->CreatePurchase(array('xml' => $xml));

var_dump($result2);

$result1 = $client->Logout();
var_dump($result1);

?>
