There are many ways to connect using PHP, but the most common way is to use SoapClient, many online resources are available!
You can use [http://www.stccorp.net/ewsdl2php/](http://www.stccorp.net/ewsdl2php/) to generate a class library from the WSDL or use a simpler approach as shown in the following code example.

### Example using SoapClient
You can define associative array to represent the classes in the WSDL
##### **Store WSDL**
```powershell
PS H:\> (Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "http://webservice.dkvistun.is/demoDev/dkWSItemsCGI.exe/wsdl/IItemService").Content | Se
t-Content C:\temp\wsdl.txt
```
```php
DK Superthin client software!
Hello php
SOAP_1_2, "trace" => 1, "cache_wsdl" => WSDL_CACHE_NONE));
$BS = array(
"Username"=>"userX",
"Password"=>"passwordY",
);
$member = array(
"Name"=>"",
"SSNumber"=>"",
);
$Header = new SoapHeader("urn:dkWSValueObjects","BasicSecurity", $BS, false);
$client->__setSoapHeaders($Header);
try{
$comp = $client->GetCompany();
$member = $client->getMember("SOMEID",null);
//echo $client->__getLastRequest();
echo $member->Name;
echo $member->SSNumber;
}
catch (SoapFault $exception) {
echo $exception;
}
echo "After";
?>
```
