PHP and SOAP – ah! time wasted unnecessarily

I have written few function where it need to call using SOAP and PHP Curl. I started getting error:
SOAP-ENV:Client
parsing error: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The markup in the document preceding the root element must be well-formed.

After reading at lots of places I could not find the solution. I read about XML rule – Each element must have a closing element and case must also match, element cannot nest in each other. But I could not find the solution. Then I got that I am not calling it the way I need to call it. and That was the problem.

Then after that I got new error which was coming due to the experiment I was doing for solving the above error. This error was easy to recognize:
Error:
SOAP-ENV:Server
java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: no such method 'do_ota_profilecreaterq' on

This was due to the case not matching with the actual function given to me for web service. Actual was profileCreateRQ().

Corrupt characters in iso-8895-1

My page was in iso-8859-1 and few characters are not showing properly. This page has  been created by someone else.

Characters ä was showing ä and ö was showing ö. I changed character encoding through Firefox browser and I was the meaning of ö and ä.

I copied all the text from iso-8859-1 page, as I need iso-8859 content. So, I have changed the encoding again to iso-8859-1 and copied all the text. I used Editplus and there I have taken iso-8859-1 encoded page and pasted the text. There I have Searched and Replaced all the occurance of ä with ä and all. Now, after saving text was all clear.

My Programmer’s Blog

I have a blog up and running from few years. It is proved to be a good blog till date. Currently it is getting 500-700 pagesviews per day.

It is all about PHP platform and web technology. I started with the mind that whatever I will write should be simple and easy to understand and use.  I tried to write about the common problems faced about the programmers in their project. So, whenever I learn something and thought that many programmer may be looking for this kind of solution then I try to write about it.
