Can't disable a pool member via PHP/SOAP+WSDL

I haven't used the PHP interface and don't know the language so well, but what I do see is that you are passing in a 1-D array for the first parameter and a 1-D array for the second parameter.

The signature for set_session_enabled_state() is as follows:

struct MemberSessionState {
  IPPortDefinition member;
  EnabledState session_state;
};
void LocalLB::PoolMember::set_session_enabled_state(
    in String[] pool_names,
    in MemberSessionState[][] session_states
);

You'll need to pass in a 1-D array for the pool_names parameter and a 2-D array for the session_states structures (the first dimension equates to each pool in the pool_names list, the second dimension is for all of the pool members in that given pool).

Sorry I can't be more help. Let us know when you get it working.

Also, if you could come up with a HTTP trace of this call, that would also help in diagnosing what other issues might be.

I initially tried passing a 2-level array as the second argument, but I get an exception from iControl saying that the member object could not be found. If I do a 1-level array, it goes through without a problem, without any exceptions thrown.

 

 

Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault exception: [Client] SOAP-ERROR: Encoding: object hasn't 'member' property in /www/icontrol/cmdshow.php:181

 

Stack trace:

 

0 [internal function]: SoapClient->__call('set_session_ena...', Array)

2 {main}

Well, I can guarantee that it is in fact a 2-D array that is required. Odds are the reason why you aren't getting an error for a 1-D array is that the server code is looking at that 1-D array and treating it as an empty 2nd dimension, thus no members for the associated pools.

 

 

I wish I could help more but since I have no practical knowledge of PHP and it's not a supported environment in our development kit, I'm kind of at a loss.

 

 

Anyone out there with a PHP background have any insights?

 

 

BTW, is there a proxy-generation phase (compiling the WSDL) of the PHP toolkit or is everything dynamic like it is in perl? I thought it was dynamic but your client SOAP error looks like it's looking for the "member" member of one of the input structures and I don't know how it would know about that name without some sort of pre-compilation.

I did some more testing, and even renamed my 1-D array keys to incorrect names (i.e. NOT member and monitor_state), and it still accepted the parameters without throwing an exception. It refuses a 2-D array, so I ended up creating a class and referencing that as an object. Now, it works flawlessly...

 

 

class memberMonitorState {

 

var $member;

 

var $monitor_state;

 

 

function __construct($member, $monitor_state) {

 

$this->member = $member;

 

$this->monitor_state = $monitor_state;

 

}

 

}

 

 

...

 

 

case 'disable':

 

if ($obj->enabled_status == ENABLED_STATUS_DISABLED) {

 

printf("%s:%d is already disabled in pool %s\n", $member->address, $member->port, $current_pool);

 

} else {

 

printf("disabling %s:%d in pool %s\n", $member->address, $member->port, $current_pool);

 

 

$session_disabled[0][0] = new MemberSessionState($member, STATE_DISABLED);

 

$pm_ctrl->set_session_enabled_state(array($current_pool), $session_disabled);

 

}

 

break;

 

Never mind that last post, totally unnecessary. I was interpreting it as a 2-dimension array, when it's actually a 3-dimension array (first index is the pool, second index is the pool member, third is the actual value). No need for the classes and object references.
