// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Also see Chilkat's Online WSDL Code Generator
// to generate code and SOAP Request and Response XML for each operation in a WSDL.

// Here is an example of an HTTP POST Request we'll be sending:

// POST /WebServices/MFET/ HTTP/1.1
// Content-Type: text/xml
// SOAPAction: NewSubmission
//  
// <soapenv:Envelope
//   xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
//   xmlns:tem="http://tempuri.org/"
//   xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
//   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
//   <soapenv:Header/>
//   <soapenv:Body>
//     <tem:NewSubmission>
//       <tem:UserName>yourusername</tem:UserName>
//       <tem:Password>yourpassword</tem:Password>
//       <tem:File xsi:type="xsd:base64Binary">TRANSMISSION_XML_FILE_CONTENTS_AS_BASE64</tem:File>
//     </tem:NewSubmission>
//   </soapenv:Body>
// </soapenv:Envelope>

// In the above XML, the "TRANSMISSION_XML_FILE_CONTENTS_AS_BASE64" contains the base64 encoded
// string of the XML file that contains "<Transmission> ... </Transmission>"
// First let's load the transmission XML file and get the contents as base64.
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.StringBuilder')
$sbXml = new COM("Chilkat.StringBuilder");

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Xml')
$xml = new COM("Chilkat.Xml");
$xml->Tag = 'soapenv:Envelope';

$xml->AddAttribute('xmlns:xsd','http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema');

    exit;
}

print 'Response status code = ' . $resp->StatusCode . "\n";
print 'Response body text:' . "\n";

// The response will look like this:

// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
// <s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
//     <s:Body>
//         <NewSubmissionResponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">

//         </NewSubmissionResponse>
//     </s:Body>
// </s:Envelope>

// We can get the base64 result like this:
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Xml')
$xmlResult = new COM("Chilkat.Xml");
$xmlResult->LoadXml($resp->BodyStr);

$sbResult->Decode('base64','utf-8');
print 'Decoded result:' . "\n";
print $sbResult->getAsString() . "\n";

// A sample of a decoded error response:
