Is there a way to build a php SOAP call in which the XML request contains Arabic characters?

[Dheepak875]

I am trying to build a SOAP call in php which should make a request to a c#/asp.net based API.

• The request is in the format of an XML. *XML contains Arabic Characters.
• If the XML contains only English Characters everything works fine.
• I also tried to hit the Webservice endpoint via a SOAPUI with Arabic characters and it works fine.So it confirms that the system accepts Soap calls with Arabic Characters. The code I use to hit the EndPoint is shown below.

 

$soapvar = new SoapVar($retrieveXYZRequest, XSD_ANYXML);
$this->client->__soapCall('RetrieveXYZ',array($soapvar));
 

 

 

• $retrieveXYZRequest is the SOAP Request built in the form of Text(with Arabic characters in certain elements).
• RetrieveXYZ is the method name that should be called.

Any kind of input will be much appreciated.
