PHP Namespaces in SoapHeader Child Nodes

Question

PHP SoapClient Headers. I'm having a problem getting the namespaces in child nodes. Here's the code I'm using:

$security = new stdClass;
$security->UsernameToken->Password = 'MyPassword';
$security->UsernameToken->Username = 'MyUsername';
$header[] = new SOAPHeader('http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd', 'Security', $security);
$client->__setSoapHeaders($header);

Here's the XML it generates:

<ns2:Security>
  <UsernameToken>
    <Password>MyPassword</Password>
    <Username>MyUsername</Username>
  </UsernameToken>
</ns2:Security>

Here's the XML I want it to generate:

<ns2:Security>
  <ns2:UsernameToken>
    <ns2:Password>MyPassword</ns2:Password>
    <ns2:Username>MyUsername</ns2:Username>
  </ns2:UsernameToken>
</ns2:Security>

I need to get the namespace reference into the UsernameToken, Password and Username nodes. Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks.

David has the right answer. And he is also right that it takes way too much effort and thought. Here's a variation that encapsulates the ugliness for anyone working this particular wsse security header.

Clean client code

$client = new SoapClient('http://some-domain.com/service.wsdl');
$client->__setSoapHeaders(new WSSESecurityHeader('myUsername', 'myPassword'));

And the implementation...

class WSSESecurityHeader extends SoapHeader {

    public function __construct($username, $password)
    {
        $wsseNamespace = 'http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd';
        $security = new SoapVar(
            array(new SoapVar(
                array(
                    new SoapVar($username, XSD_STRING, null, null, 'Username', $wsseNamespace),
                    new SoapVar($password, XSD_STRING, null, null, 'Password', $wsseNamespace)
                ), 
                SOAP_ENC_OBJECT, 
                null, 
                null, 
                'UsernameToken', 
                $wsseNamespace
            )), 
            SOAP_ENC_OBJECT
        );
        parent::SoapHeader($wsseNamespace, 'Security', $security, false);
    }

}

Thanks I used this but changed the password section to: new SoapVar($password, XSD_STRING, 'type', 'http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#PasswordText', 'Password', $wsseNamespace)), Which gives you: yourpassword — Craig, Feb 11 '14 at 01:38

Figured it out. I used nested SoapVars and arrays.

$ns_s = 'http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd';
$node1 = new SoapVar('MyUsername', XSD_STRING, null, null, 'Username', $ns_s);
$node2 = new SoapVar('MyPassword', XSD_STRING, null, null, 'Password', $ns_s);
$token = new SoapVar(array($node1,$node2), SOAP_ENC_OBJECT, null, null, 'UsernameToken', $ns_s);
$security = new SoapVar(array($token), SOAP_ENC_OBJECT, null, null, 'Security', $ns_s);
$header[] = new SOAPHeader($ns_s, 'Security', $security, false);

That took entirely too much effort and thought...
