I have this PHP program:
<?php
echo 'Start of Soap Request<br />';
$client = new SoapClient("http://192.168.201.67:10010/web/services/getItemDesc?wsdl");
print_r($client);
echo '<br />Start of Var_Dump<br />';
var_dump($client);
echo '<br />Result Print<br />';
$result = $client->testws(array("PEITEM" => "1020000000", "PEMSG" =>" "));
print_r($result);
?>
That access a web service on my iSeries. I can get the Web Service to work in SOAP UI, but for some reason it does not work when called from this very short program. I seem to be missing something. I have tried to look at the error logs on the iSeries, but all I have been able to find is a Null Pointer Error:

Here is the WSDL that was generated by the iSeries. Again it works when testing with SOAPUI so hopefully it is an option or something I can use on the SoapClient instantiation.
