Changing the SOAP end point URL in PHP

The endpoint URL is where the web service can be accessed by a client application. The same web service can have multiple endpoints.

The SoapClient of your PHP, uses the endpoint URL from the WSDL file by default.
It looks like this:

Our application faced an issue where the endpoint got changed and we were getting: “Could not connect to host error.”

To fix that, we changed the endpoint from our php application by adding this:

$client = new soapclient($soapWSDLURL);
$client->__setLocation(‘newEndpointUrl’);

which is the same as :

$client = new soapclient($soapWSDLURL, array(‘location’ => ‘newEndpointUrl’));

Hope that was helpful!

Creating a custom search option in jqGrid : jQuery

Here’s a way to use custom search in the jQgrid.
I have to search data which is not a part of the result grid.
Hence I have created a separate form to get the search values and post the data using jqGrid to get the result set.

var emp = {
initGrid: function(){
var grid_selector = “#grid-table”;
var pager_selector = “#grid-pager”;

jQuery(grid_selector).jqGrid({
url: “url/to/loaddata”,
datatype: “json”,
mtype: “POST”,
colNames: [“First Name”, “Last Name”, “ID”, “Sex”, “DOB”, “Address”, “Score”],
colModel: [
{ name: “firstname”, width: ’50px’},
{ name: “lastname”, width: ’50px’},
{ name: “ID”, width: ’40px’},
{ name: “sex”, width: ’30px’},
{ name: “birthdate”, width: ’30px’},
{ name: “address”, width: ’60px’},
{ name: “score”, width: ’30px’}
],
height: ‘auto’,
viewrecords : true,
rowNum:10,
rowList:[10,20,30],
pager : pager_selector,
altRows: true,
sortname: ‘firstname’,
sortorder: “asc”,
beforeRequest: function(){
//show custom loader before posting data
commonfn.showPageLoader();
},
loadComplete : function(){
// hide the loader after grid is loaded
commonfn.hidePageLoader();
},
postData:{
‘fname’: function () { return $(“#fname”).val(); },
‘lname’: function () { return $(“#lname”).val(); },
‘id’: function () { return $(“#id”).val(); },
‘score’: function () { return $(“#score”).val(); },
‘oper’: function () { return $(“#oper”).val(); },
‘searchId’: function () { return $(“#searchId”).val(); }
},
caption: “”,
autowidth: true,
loadui: ‘disable’
});
},
searchGrid: function(){
// reload the table with search data
if ($.trim($(“#fname”).val()) == ” && $.trim($(“#lname”).val()) == ” &&

$.trim($(“#id”).val()) == ” && $.trim($(“#score”).val()) == ” &&

$(‘#searchId’).val() == ” ){
commonFn.showNotification(‘Please select atleast one search criteria’);
}else{
$(“#grid-table”).trigger(“reloadGrid”, { page: 1 });
}
},
}
var emp = {
emp.initGrid();
}

Here’s a brief description of what the code does:

initGrid initialises the grid with:

url: ‘url/to/loaddata’ This is a url that makes the db query and returns the result set

postData: This is the most important part.
This specifies what data will be posted when we reload the grid.
So here, we get the values of the search fields and pass them.
Then in the server, make the query with those values and return the result set

searchGrid: This is called on clicking the search button or clear button.
It triggers the “reloadGrid” method of jQuery which loads the grid again.
