soap-bin-script

name

soap-bin-script

description

Creates a new synchronous SOAP operation script in bin/ following the exact boilerplate from bin/GetVM.php, bin/DeleteVM.php, etc. Use when user says 'add a bin script', 'new SOAP operation', 'create a hyperv command', or adds a new HyperVService method. Generates the ini_set block, argc check, get_service_master() call, getSoapClientParams(), SoapClient instantiation, and exception handler. Do NOT use for async variants (use async-soap-script instead) and do NOT use for Plugin.php method additions.

Critical

• Never use PDO — $master credentials come exclusively from get_service_master(), never from raw DB queries or env vars.
• Never skip the full ini_set block — all 6 ini_set calls must appear verbatim in every script.
• Always place hyperVAdmin and adminPassword inside the SOAP params array — never as separate constructor args.
• Result key must match the method name — $response->GetVMResult for GetVM, $response->RebootResult for Reboot, etc. (exception: CreateVM and similar create operations use print_r($response) directly).
• Do NOT create async variants here — async scripts belong in bin/async/ and use a different pattern entirely.

Instructions

Step 1 — Identify method signature

Determine:

• SOAP method name (e.g., SetCPUCount)
• Extra parameters beyond <id> (e.g., <vps>, <cpuCount>)
• Whether the response has a typed Result property (query/action ops) or returns the raw object (create ops)

Verify the method exists in https://{host}/HyperVService/HyperVService.asmx?WSDL before writing the script. Check bin/WsdlInfo.php for discovery.

Step 2 — Create the script file in bin/

File name must be the PascalCase SOAP method name inside bin/ — for example bin/GetVMState.php for the GetVMState method, or bin/TurnON.php for TurnON.

Start with the fixed shebang + include + ini_set block. This block is identical in every script — do not modify it:

#!/usr/bin/env php
<?php
include_once __DIR__.'/../../../../include/functions.inc.php';
ini_set('soap.wsdl_cache_enabled', '0');
ini_set('default_socket_timeout', 1000);
ini_set('max_input_time', '0');
ini_set('max_execution_time', '0');
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);

Step 3 — Add argc check

Count is 1 (script) + number of positional args. <id> is always first.

• Host only (no vps param): argc < 2
• Host + vps: argc < 3
• Host + vps + 1 extra: argc < 4
• Host + vps + 2 extras: argc < 5

Usage die message format (match exactly):

// Host only (e.g. GetVMList):
if ($_SERVER['argc'] < 2) {
    die("Call like {$_SERVER['argv'][0]} <id>\nwhere <id> is the VPS Master / Host Server ID\nuse 423 for Hyperv-dev and 440 for Hyperv1\n");
}

// Host + vps (most common):
if ($_SERVER['argc'] < 3) {
    die("Call like {$_SERVER['argv'][0]} <id> <vps>\nwhere <id> is the VPS Master / Host Server ID\nuse 423 for Hyperv-dev and 440 for Hyperv1\n and <vps> is the id of a vps\n");
}

// Host + additional named params:
if ($_SERVER['argc'] < 5) {
    die("Call like {$_SERVER['argv'][0]} <id> <name> <hdsize> <ramsize> [template]\nwhere <id> is the VPS Master / Host Server ID\nuse 423 for Hyperv-dev and 440 for Hyperv1\n");
}

Step 4 — Add host lookup and SOAP call

This output from Step 3 feeds into the try block:

$master = get_service_master($_SERVER['argv'][1], 'vps', true);
try {
    $params = \Detain\MyAdminHyperv\Plugin::getSoapClientParams();
    $soap = new SoapClient("https://{$master['vps_ip']}/HyperVService/HyperVService.asmx?WSDL", $params);
    $response = $soap->MethodName(
        [
        'vmId' => $_SERVER['argv'][2],
        'hyperVAdmin' => 'Administrator',
        'adminPassword' => $master['vps_root']
        ]
    );
    print_r($response->MethodNameResult);
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo 'Caught exception: '.$e->getMessage().PHP_EOL;
}

Rules for the params array:

• vmId maps to $_SERVER['argv'][2] (the vps arg)
• Additional params use $_SERVER['argv'][3], [4], etc. in order
• hyperVAdmin is always 'Administrator' — hardcoded, never from argv
• adminPassword is always $master['vps_root']
• For operations with no vmId (e.g., GetVMList): omit vmId, keep only hyperVAdmin + adminPassword

Result printing:

• Query/action operations: print_r($response->{MethodName}Result);
• Create operations that return the full object: print_r($response);

Step 5 — Verify the script

Run against dev host (id 423) — using bin/GetVMState.php as the example:

php bin/GetVMState.php 423
# Should print usage die message

php bin/GetVMState.php 423 <vmId>
# Should print SOAP response or 'Caught exception: ...'

Verify no PHP parse errors: php -l bin/GetVMState.php

Examples

User says: "Add a bin script for the GetVMState SOAP method that takes a host id and vps id"

Actions:

1. Method name: GetVMState, params: <id> <vps>, result key: GetVMStateResult
2. argc check: < 3 (host + vps)
3. Create bin/GetVMState.php:

#!/usr/bin/env php
<?php
include_once __DIR__.'/../../../../include/functions.inc.php';
ini_set('soap.wsdl_cache_enabled', '0');
ini_set('default_socket_timeout', 1000);
ini_set('max_input_time', '0');
ini_set('max_execution_time', '0');
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);
if ($_SERVER['argc'] < 3) {
    die("Call like {$_SERVER['argv'][0]} <id> <vps>\nwhere <id> is the VPS Master / Host Server ID\nuse 423 for Hyperv-dev and 440 for Hyperv1\n and <vps> is the id of a vps\n");
}
$master = get_service_master($_SERVER['argv'][1], 'vps', true);
try {
    $params = \Detain\MyAdminHyperv\Plugin::getSoapClientParams();
    $soap = new SoapClient("https://{$master['vps_ip']}/HyperVService/HyperVService.asmx?WSDL", $params);
    $response = $soap->GetVMState(
        [
        'vmId' => $_SERVER['argv'][2],
        'hyperVAdmin' => 'Administrator',
        'adminPassword' => $master['vps_root']
        ]
    );
    print_r($response->GetVMStateResult);
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo 'Caught exception: '.$e->getMessage().PHP_EOL;
}

4. Verify: php -l bin/GetVMState.php → no errors, php bin/GetVMState.php 423 → prints usage.

Result: bin/GetVMState.php created, identical in structure to bin/GetVM.php.

Common Issues

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault: WSDL

• The host is unreachable or the WSDL URL is wrong. Confirm $master['vps_ip'] is set: add var_dump($master); before the try block.
• Confirm ini_set('soap.wsdl_cache_enabled', '0') is present — missing it causes stale WSDL cache failures.

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_service_master()

• The include_once path is wrong. Script must be in bin/ (four levels from project root). If placed elsewhere, adjust the relative path to functions.inc.php.

Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$MethodNameResult

• The result key doesn't match. Run bin/WsdlInfo.php to inspect exact property names, or use print_r($response) temporarily to dump the full response object.

Caught exception: Could not connect to host

• default_socket_timeout too low for slow hosts — it is set to 1000 seconds in the boilerplate, which is correct. If still failing, verify the host server id (423 = Hyperv-dev, 440 = Hyperv1).

argc check never triggers / script runs with missing args

• Ensure the comparison is < N not <= N. For 2 positional args (<id> <vps>), the count is 3 (including script name), so use $_SERVER['argc'] < 3.
