What is your exact question? Have you read the manual about SOAP on php.net? — Wytse

I suggest you read up about PHP's SoapClient. There are lots of good examples in the PHP manual.

To get you started, create the object:

$client = new SoapClient('http://www.example.com/end_point.wsdl');

Then call the method:

$result = $client->SomeFunction($data);

where SomeFunction is the method name you want to call on the service, and $data is a PHP array representing the XML data structure you want to send.

Hope that helps.

[EDIT] Just to clarify in light of the OP's further questions:

You don't need to create the actual XML code when using PHP SOAPClient. You need to put the data into a PHP array, and SOAPClient will convert it to XML for you. The array keys should be named for the XML element names, and the array values are the element values. Use nested arrays for nested XML elements.

Tahnks. i have done according to you. But it gave "Internal Server Error". How to solve this. My request is working properly on Netbease SOAP UI.

@Hearaman - Inernal Server error suggests that you have a syntax error in your PHP. I suggest you turn error reporting on or look at the server logs to find out what the error is.

catch(SoapFault $fault) { echo $fault->getMessage(); } ?>

For attributes, you must call SoapVar with XSD_ANYXML http://php.net
