Need help sending SOAP request to Estes

Need help sending SOAP request to Estes

I need to send a SOAP request to Estes to retrieve rate quotes. I'm having
trouble doing this as the other APIs I have worked with either post the
XML or use a URL string. This is a bit different for me.
I believe my problem is that I cannot figure out the array that needs to
be sent for the request.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope
xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:rat="http://ws.estesexpress.com/ratequote"
xmlns:rat1="http://ws.estesexpress.com/schema/2012/12/ratequote">
<soapenv:Header>
<rat:auth>
<rat:user>XXXXX</rat:user>
<rat:password>XXXX</rat:password>
</rat:auth>
</soapenv:Header>
<soapenv:Body>
<rat1:rateRequest>
<rat1:requestID>XXXXXX</rat1:requestID>
<rat1:account>XXXXXXX</rat1:account>
<rat1:originPoint>
<rat1:countryCode>XX</rat1:countryCode>
<rat1:postalCode>XXXXX</rat1:postalCode>
<rat1:city>XXXXXX</rat1:city>
<rat1:stateProvince>XX</rat1:stateProvince>
</rat1:originPoint>
<rat1:destinationPoint>
<rat1:countryCode>XX</rat1:countryCode>
<rat1:postalCode>XXXXX</rat1:postalCode>
</rat1:destinationPoint>
<rat1:payor>X</rat1:payor>
<rat1:terms>XX</rat1:terms>
<rat1:stackable>X</rat1:stackable>
<rat1:baseCommodities>
<rat1:commodity>
<rat1:class>X</rat1:class>
<rat1:weight>XXX</rat1:weight>
</rat1:commodity>
</rat1:baseCommodities>
</rat1:rateRequest>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
This was the code I was using before and it is not working.
<?php
$client = new
SoapClient("https://www.estes-express.com/rating/ratequote/services/RateQuoteService?wsdl");
$request_object = array(
"header"=>array(
"auth"=>array(
"user"=>"XXXXX",
"password"=>"XXXXX",
)
),
"rateRequest"=>array(
"requestID"=>"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
"account"=>"XXXXXX",
),
"originPoint"=>array(
"countryCode"=>"XX",
"postalCode"=>"XXXXX",
"city"=>"XXXXX",
"stateProvince"=>"XX",
),
"destinationPoint"=>array(
"countryCode"=>"XX",
"postalCode"=>"XXXXX",
),
"payor"=> "X",
"terms"=> "XXXX",
"stackable"=> "X",
"baseCommodities"=>array(
"commodity"=>array(
"class"=>"XX",
"weight"=>"XXXX",
)
),
);
$result = $client->rateRequest(array("request"=>$request_object));
var_dump($result);
?>
Here is the error
Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault exception: [Client] Function
("rateRequest") is not a valid method for this service in

  1. // load the $params commodities array from class & weight arrays
    $comArray = array();
    for ($i=0; $i$class_tbl[$i], 'weight'=>$weight_tbl[$i]);
    }

    $params = array(
    "requestID" => "xxxxxxxx",
    "account" => "xxxxxxxx",
    "originPoint" => array('countryCode' => 'US', 'postalCode' =>$fromzip),
    "destinationPoint" => array('countryCode' => 'US', 'postalCode' => $shipzip),
    "payor" => 'T',
    "terms" => 'PPD',
    "stackable" => 'N',
    "baseCommodities" => array('commodity' => $comArray ),
    "accessorials" => array('accessorialCode' => $accArray)
    );

    // remove accessorials entry if no accessorial codes
    if(sizeof($accArray) == 0){
    $params = array_slice($params, 0, 8); // remove accesorials entry
    }

    // call the API like this
    try {
    $reply = $client->getQuote($params);
    }
    catch(SoapFault $e){
    // handle issues returned by the web service
    //echo "Estes soap fault
    " . $e . "
    ";
    $edit_error_msg = "Estes quote API timed out or failed to return a quote";
    return "0.00";
    }
    catch(Exception $e){
    // handle PHP issues with the request
    //echo "PHP soap exception
    " . $e . "
    ";
    $edit_error_msg = "Estes quote API timed out or failed to return a quote";
    return "0.00";
    }
