I have a Web Service I setup on the iSeries. It works when using SOAPUI and it works from the Built in test facility in the Native Web server. But when I try to access it form the following PHP program it fails to return any data. I am obviously fairly new to this and I am not sure what I am missing.
<?php
echo 'Start of Soap Request<br />';
$client = new SoapClient("http://iseriesdev.wdm.int:10010/web/services/getItemDesc?wsdl");
print_r($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 accesses 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:

When installing a web service on the iSeries it automatically generates the WSDL. 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.
