Need help with SOAP connectivity

[TheObserver]

I need to connect via SOAP to a data provider. They require several pieces of information to authenticate against. The prescribe a header layout to facilitate this:

<soap:Header>
    <impl:email>test@mountainnews.com</impl:email>
    <impl:language>en</impl:language>
    <impl:metric>imp</impl:metric>
    <impl:token/>
    <impl:password>mypassword</impl:password>
    <impl:domain/>
  </soap:Header>

I have attempted to connect via NuSOAP with the following:

$client = new nusoap_client($this->wsdl_location, true);
		$headers = "
		 <soap:Header>
    	 <impl:email>".$myUserName."</impl:email>
    <impl:language>en-us</impl:language>
    <impl:metric>imp</impl:metric>
    <impl:token/>
    <impl:password>".$myPassWord."</impl:password>
    <impl:domain/>
  </soap:Header>";
$client->setHeaders($headers);
$client->call("getTokens");

I always get the following result for this code:

soapenv:Server: SOAPEnvelope must contain a body element which is either first or second child element of the SOAPEnvelope.

result: Array ( [faultcode] => soapenv:Server [faultstring] => unknown [detail] => )

If I go with the built in SoapClient capability with the following code:

        $client = new SoapClient($this->wsdl_location, 
        array('email'          => $myUserName,
              'password'       => $myPassWord,
        	  'metric'         => 'imp',
              'language'       => 'en-us',
              'domain'         => '',
              'token'          => ''));
$client->__call("getTokens");

With this code I always get the following result:

Caught exception: SOAP-ERROR: Parsing Schema: unexpected <sequence> in element


I have no control over the server and am only writing a client to connect up to it and pull some data. What am I doing wrong? This is driving me crazy!

Thanks for your time.

The SOAP header is a standard and the values you have given don't look corret to me.
The SOAP toolkits should hide all these detals from you.

I can only be sure on this. Suppose your prefix impl is defined as prefix to the uri [ignore]"

http://www.example.org/"

[/ignore] (taken as an example), you have to set the headers like this.
[tt]
$headers = "
<impl:email xmlns:impl=[blue][ignore]'

http://www.example.org/'

[/ignore][/blue]>".$myUserName."</impl:email>
<impl:language>en-us</impl:language>
<impl:metric>imp</impl:metric>
<impl:token/>
<implassword>".$myPassWord."</implassword>
<impl:domain/>";
[/tt]
Watch out what are taken out and what is added. Replace the uri (in blue colour) per info your provider specified. You can as well make it default without prefix - but that would change every line.
