Couldn't find <definitions> in WSDL - web-services

Question

i tried to develop my first SOAP webservice, but i'm stuck with an error when i try to open my WSDL with wizdl. I got this error :
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<SOAP-ENV:Fault>
<faultcode>WSDL</faultcode>
<faultstring>
SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't find <definitions> in
'http://localhost/testSolution/test.wsdl'
</faultstring>
</SOAP-ENV:Fault>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
Here is my code : testSolution.php :
<?php
class Ws{
function getString()
{
return "TESTASTOS";
}
}
ini_set("soap.wsdl_cache_enabled", 0);
$serversoap = new SoapServer("http://localhost/testSolution/test.wsdl");
$serversoap->setClass("Ws");
$serversoap->handle();
?>
And test.wsdl :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<definitions
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"

targetNamespace="urn:serviceTestwsdl"

<output message="tns:getStringResponse"/>
</operation>
</portType>
<binding name="serviceTestBinding" type="tns:serviceTestPortType">
<soap:binding style="rpc" transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/>
<operation name="getString">
<soap:operation soapAction="urn:serviceTestwsdl#getString" style="rpc"/>
<input>
<soap:body use="encoded" namespace="urn:serviceTestwsdl"
encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"/>
</input>
<output>
<soap:body use="encoded" namespace="urn:serviceTestwsdl"
encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"/>
</output>
</operation>
</binding>
<service name="serviceTest">
<port name="serviceTestPort" binding="tns:serviceTestBinding">
<soap:address location="http://localhost/testSolution/testSolution.php"/>
</port>
</service>
</definitions>
The mainly goal is to understand how a soap webservice work by making a small hello world on string.
Thanks a lot for your Help

You need to add the "wsdl" prefix like <wsdl:definitions> in the test.wsdl. Also to the first level of elements within that param:
<wsdl:types>...</wsdl:types>
<wsdl:operation>...</wsdl:operation>
... etc
This will allow you to load the wsdl.
