SOAP calls taking too long.

[foinf]

The pbx_soap() function call shown below is taking way too long to respond.

 

Here's the body of the soap_call has as suggested by the abstract code body given here :

 

https://wiki.snomone.com/index.php?title=Access_to_the_Database#Abstract_Code_to_access_the_pbxnsip_database

function pbx_soap($req) {

  $start = microtime(true);
  global $dbadr, $dbport, $dbdebug;
 

  $dbhandle = fsockopen($dbadr, $dbport, $errno, $errstr);
 
  if (!$dbhandle) {
    echo "error hash";
   if($dbdebug) echo "$errstr ($errno)<br>\n";
   return;
  }

  $request = "POST /soap.xml HTTP/1.1\r\n";
  $request .= "Content-Type: text/xml\r\n";
 
  $request .= "Content-Length: " . strlen($req) . "\r\n";
  $request .= "Connection: close\r\n\r\n";
  $request .= $req;
  //echo $request;
  //exit;
 

  fputs($dbhandle, $request);
 
 
  $data = "";
  $count=0;
  while(!feof($dbhandle)) {
      $count++;
    $data.=fread($dbhandle, 128);
  }
  
  fclose($dbhandle);

  $pos = strpos($data,"\r\n\r\n");
  if($pos != false) {
  $body = substr($data, $pos);
    return $body;
  }
 
 
} // pbx_soap

Every call takes about 6 seconds (As determined by using microtimers.)

 

Also, the following statistics show how much time is being spent on the pbx_soap calls GREATLY slowing down the web apps.

That code comes from ancient times. Today you can have PHP do the HTTP client stuff with built-in functions that are much faster, for example http_get.

Hello, thanks for your response. Could you provide a sample code or example or at least a few lines of code which Illustrate how to use the modern technique instead of using SOAP?

 

The documentation (which i have quoted as a link in the OP) only illustrated the call using soap.

Well, for POST you cannot use http_get (sorry). But if you take a look e.g. at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5647461/how-do-i-send-a-post-request-with-php you see some sample code on how to POST something with an attachment.
