How to create Web Service Client in PHP

Hi All,
I am new to PHP and i experimented with a code that hit a web service method . The code is as follows.
[php]

<?php try { $soap_client = new SoapClient("https://mypath?wsdl"); $uname = array ("Username"=>"testuser"); $pwd = array ("Password"=>"mypasswd"); $quote= $soap_client->Logon($uname,$pwd); echo $quote-> LogonResult; } catch(SoapFault $exception) { echo ("Hello"); echo $exception -> getMessage(); } ?>

[/php]

I tried out this code simply by running it inside an index.php on my xampp server(http://localhost/mytest) and it throws an exception from my web server stating that it is an invalid user. What it needs is the server also (demo,staging live etc…
How ever the Logon method works (in java i have run it successfully) when it has the stubs and skeletons that provides the required locators etc. I have figured that i need a similar web client which can be set up easily in eclipse for Java. I have looked a lot on the net for a PHP solution but i am confused by the paths for PDT and WST…

Could any one please guide me to the steps i need to follow to have a web client in PHP perspective of my IDE…I am using Eclipse for PHP Developers Version: Helios Service Release 2

Any help regarding web services calls will be greately helpful

Thanks & Regards
Vishnu
