Magento SOAP error

Question

everytime i run this

   $proxy = new SoapClient('http://localhost/magento/api/v2_soap/?wsdl');
   $sessionId = $proxy->login((object)array('username' => 'admin', 'apiKey' => 'admin'));
   $result = $proxy->customerCustomerCreate((object)array('sessionId' => $sessionId->result, 'customerData' => ((object)array(
   'email'      => $email,
   'firstname'  => $firstname,
   'lastname'       => $lastname,
   'password'       => $auto_password,
   'website_id'     => '0',
   'group_id'       => '1'
   ))));   
   var_dump($result->result);
   }

i get this error:

Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in add-new-customer.php on line 2

I'm running this on the latest MAMP. I also tried running this on the 'native' mac php/apache and it runs without any problems. I appreciate any help.

Answer 1

The error is pretty self explanatory - the second line is not valid, more specifically the login method needs 2 strings, one for username, one for password but you are calling (object) against an array and using the result as the method argument. Try with just:

$sessionId = $proxy->login($username, $password);

Where $usename and $password are strings.
