Hi ,

Let me introduce a little about my project first.
I use CakePHP to create web service for my office.

So I have WSDL file for web service (PHP Soap).
And this WSDL (which is of cause XML file) display "Blank" in browser but when I clicked view source I saw my XML in there. This lead to problem that web service could not work.

Summary :
Normally XML file should display (in browser) like this.
http://xmlfiles.com/examples/simple.xml
XML show "Blank" in browser but for view source I can see it.

Technical Details :
Apache 2.2.8
PHP 5.2.6
CakePHP 1.2.4.8284 (CakePHP: the rapid development php framework. Home)

Somebody have any idea, thank you very much

Not sure if I understood you right, are you generating the XML with a PHP script?

If so, you might need to send the correct Content-Type header to the browser.

PHP Code:

header('Content-Type: text/xml');

Thanks for comments

I understand your point so It might be me who is misunderstanding.
Here is what I tried to do.

I have "somename.wsdl" file. I think normally we can view it via directly like any other xml file.
Like we browse to http://xmlfiles.com/examples/simple.xml

So that I cannot set up header like you said because I didn't generate it from php. Hope you get what I said.

One more thing I'm sorry. English is not my 1st language so I may be confuse you somehow

But really thanks

Technically there should be no problem opening and viewing the file in the browser.

Do you have a link to this page? (You can PM me the link if you don't want to post it here).


And your English is good, don't worry

[zyphers]

Oh I'm sorry. I tested it on my local computer so I don't have live system and later on it will be used internally.

And yes I think like you it will be ok to open file from browser. Do WSDL file have something different from XML? since I guess It has ...

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

...at the top of the file like other XML.

Actually any other file I worked with it worked fine but I use CakePHP so this one is surely the problem but I cannot find the bug so I need to know what could be the problem that make it display as blank

Maybe cache, header or server issue I don't know. So I just collect idea that may lead to solution, thanks

Yo, Nico!

You're right there is something wrong with header.
Actually it's me who made misunderstanding, my XML file was generated from PHP code.
I though I was the same as open file via browser.
So I used this code to check header.

PHP Code:

headers_list() 

And I can see that "Content-type" is not "application/xml".
So I have to fix it somehow but anyway I know that where is the problems.
Just set the header as what you said.
Thanks again

[zyphers]

Ok, now I solved it! Set the header as what it should be!
The thing is I had a problem about I cannot modify header!
because there is white space at...

?>

the end of script! someone suggest that remove the with space or the end tag itself.

So thanks you the problem is solved.
