Multiple pieces in shipment request

[ljudina]

Hello,

Congratulations on DHL-APi, very nice work.
One question. How can you add multiple shipment pieces in shipment request.
For example:

$sample->ShipmentDetails->NumberOfPieces = '2';
$sample->ShipmentDetails->Pieces->Piece->PieceID = '1';
$sample->ShipmentDetails->Pieces->Piece->PackageType = 'EE';
$sample->ShipmentDetails->Pieces->Piece->Weight = '10.0';
$sample->ShipmentDetails->Pieces->Piece->DimWeight = '1200.0';
$sample->ShipmentDetails->Pieces->Piece->Width = '100';
$sample->ShipmentDetails->Pieces->Piece->Height = '200';
$sample->ShipmentDetails->Pieces->Piece->Depth = '300';
$sample->ShipmentDetails->Pieces->Piece->PieceID = '2';
$sample->ShipmentDetails->Pieces->Piece->PackageType = 'EE';
$sample->ShipmentDetails->Pieces->Piece->Weight = '15.0';
$sample->ShipmentDetails->Pieces->Piece->DimWeight = '1100.0';
$sample->ShipmentDetails->Pieces->Piece->Width = '50';
$sample->ShipmentDetails->Pieces->Piece->Height = '50';
$sample->ShipmentDetails->Pieces->Piece->Depth = '100';

But it accepts only one piece. How can I add another one?

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Hello Marko,

Thanks for your feedback.

I added multivalues handling for entities and datatypes.

Therefore, you should be able now to do the following :

use DHL\Datatype\GB\Piece;

// Test a ShipmentRequestRequest using DHL XML API
$sample = new ShipmentRequest();

// Set values of the request
$sample->ShipmentDetails->NumberOfPieces = 2;

$piece = new Piece();
$piece->PieceID = '1';
$piece->PackageType = 'EE';
$piece->Weight = '5.0';
$piece->DimWeight = '600.0';
$piece->Width = '50';
$piece->Height = '100';
$piece->Depth = '150';
$sample->ShipmentDetails->addPiece($piece);

$piece = new Piece();
$piece->PieceID = '2';
$piece->PackageType = 'EE';
$piece->Weight = '5.0';
$piece->DimWeight = '600.0';
$piece->Width = '50';
$piece->Height = '100';
$piece->Depth = '150';
$sample->ShipmentDetails->addPiece($piece);

$sample->ShipmentDetails->Weight = '10.0';
$sample->ShipmentDetails->WeightUnit = 'L';
$sample->ShipmentDetails->GlobalProductCode = 'P';
$sample->ShipmentDetails->LocalProductCode = 'P';
$sample->ShipmentDetails->Date = date('Y-m-d');
$sample->ShipmentDetails->Contents = 'AM international shipment contents';
$sample->ShipmentDetails->DoorTo = 'DD';
$sample->ShipmentDetails->DimensionUnit = 'I';
$sample->ShipmentDetails->InsuredAmount = '1200.00';
$sample->ShipmentDetails->PackageType = 'EE';
$sample->ShipmentDetails->IsDutiable = 'Y';
$sample->ShipmentDetails->CurrencyCode = 'USD';

Hello,
Congratulations on DHL-APi, very nice work.
I did as you said but I
Fatal error: Call to undefined method DHL\Datatype\GB\ShipmentDetails::addPiece()

I can not find the code for the function addPiece in source code

Hello Ominet,

The addPiece method is handled by the magic method __call in the base entity and datatype classes.

It is based on the definition of the property. If a property has multivalues set to true (that means that it is an array of elements), then the add{Propertyname} method will work.

Thanks,
