I’m writing a PHP application which uses a number of SOAP web services to gather data.<\/p>\n
I’m getting significant overheads in instantiating all those objects: in some cases a single line of code To speed things up a bit, I figured I’d serialise the objects and store them in the session (or somewhere similar), so I wrote the following function:<\/p>\n That certainly seems to be the way PHP recommends to do it.<\/p>\n …and then calling it like this…<\/p>\n However, it doesn’t seem to work.<\/p>\n The first time you run it, it works (ie the object is created and a serialised copy is made, and the method call works fine). However the second time you run it, it fails.<\/p>\n The object appears<\/em> to serialise and de-serialise correctly, but when you try to execute a SOAP call on the de-serialised object, it throws the following error:<\/p>\n Clearly the de-serialised object is not the same as the original object, which is at odds with how object serialisation is supposed to work.<\/p>\n Can anyone explain why I’m getting this error? Can you suggest a way to get it working, or an alternative strategy that I could be persuing?<\/p>\n Thank you.<\/p>\n ps – I’ve tried to work around the problem, but no joy.<\/p>\n I’ve tried specifying the URI in the options parameter (as specified in the PHP SOAP Client manual), but it didn’t make any difference. But it shouldn’t be necessary anyway, as I’m using a WSDL.<\/p>\n I’ve also tried simply copying the object to I’m writing a PHP application which uses a number of SOAP web services to gather data. I’m getting significant overheads in instantiating all those objects: in some cases a single line of code $object = new SoapClient($wsdl); can take over three seconds.
