Using ActionWebService from PHP

Rails
1

I have an existing Rails API using ActionWebService that is used for
billing. I have been given a site written in PHP that accepts billing
information and now needs to submit this information to the
ActionWebService API. I need to know how I can submit billing
information from the PHP site to the Rails ActionWebService. Any
insights on how to make this work (links to other places, other
suggestions, etc.) would be appreciated.

This is the basic wiring of the API:

class CustomerChangeAPI < ActionWebService::API::Base

class ServerResponse < ActionWebService::Struct
member :successful, :bool
member :error_message, :string
end

class NewCustomerResponse < ServerResponse
member :uid, :int
end

class NewCreditCardResponse < ServerResponse
member :cardid, :int
end
…
end

api_method :new_customer, :expects => [{‘company_name’=>:string},
{‘lead_sourceid’=>:int}], :returns => [NewCustomerResponse]

api_method :new_credit_card, :expects => [{‘uid’=>:int},
{‘name_on_card’=>:string}, {‘card_number’=>:string},
{‘exp_date’=>:date}, {‘billing_address’=>:string},
{‘billing_zip’=>:string}, {‘accountid’=>:int}], :returns =>
[NewCreditCardResponse]

end

Read up on php’s SOAP clients. ActionWebService will generate a wsdl

Excuse my ignorance but how do I get ActionWebService to generate the
WSDL? Any simple examples that I can see somewhere? Thanks.

go to localhost:3000/customer_change/wsdl (assuming the corresponding
controller is customer_change)
