posting data from magento to a SOAP API

Question

I have an observer event that is capturing customer details anytime they are updated. At this point it posts that information to a var log.

I would like to get it to post to a SOAP API url.

SOAP API URL

at this point I am trying to be pointed in the right direction of how to do this, I believe I need to write the information into an XML that matches the API. I only have 6 fields that need to be filled so I don't think it will be to hard.

$fon = $billingaddress->getTelephone();
$street1 = $billingaddress->getStreet(1);
$street2 = $billingaddress->getStreet(2);
$city = $billingaddress->getCity();
$region = $billingaddress->getRegion();
$postcode = $billingaddress->getPostcode();

The phone number doubles as the customer #

Can somebody help me with the code to write the XML?

This chunk will go inside your body tag, as shown in the examples HERE. For the XML, it is pretty straightforward, and you can do it as one $request variable instead of assigning several:

<?php
$request =  '<UpdateCustomer xmlns="http://www.dpro.com/DPAPIServices">'.
              '<aRequest>'.
//                  '<Username>'..'</Username>'.
//                  '<Password>'..'</Password>'.
                '<CustomerNumber>'.$billingaddress->getTelephone();.'</CustomerNumber>'.
                '<CustomerName>'.$billingAddress->getFirstname().' '.$billingAddress->getLastname().'</CustomerName>'.
                '<CustomerAddress1>'.$billingaddress->getStreet(1).'</CustomerAddress1>'.
                '<CustomerAddress2>'.$billingaddress->getStreet(2).'</CustomerAddress2>'.
                '<CustomerCity>'.$billingaddress->getCity().'</CustomerCity>'.
                '<CustomerState>'.$billingaddress->getRegion().'</CustomerState>'.
                '<CustomerZip>'.$billingaddress->getPostcode().'</CustomerZip>'.
              '</aRequest>'.
            '</UpdateCustomer>';
?>

NOTE: I commented out the Username and Password because they weren't included in your example, and I am unsure whether they are your API user's credentials or related to the Customer.

You shouldn't need to write any XML when working with a SOAP API that already exists. Use the built-in SoapClient.

Have a look at the answers to this question if you need help with that: How to make a PHP SOAP call using the SoapClient class
