any news about support for version 7?

Hi, on version 7 everything works because the vmware_soap_session Cookie is not thrown at one moment.
It is enough to edit the __doRequest method in the SoapClient.php file:

` function __doRequest($request, $location, $action, $version, $one_way = 0) {
$request = $this->appendXsiTypeForExtendedDatastructures($request);

	$headers = parent::__getLastResponseHeaders();
	$arHeaders = explode(PHP_EOL, $headers);
	foreach ($arHeaders as $value)
	{
		$val = explode(':', $value);
		$arHeaders[ strtolower($val[0]) ] = ($val[1]) ? trim($val[1]) : '';
	}
	
	if (!empty($arHeaders['set-cookie']))
	{
		$re = '/(.+)="(.+)";/m';
		preg_match_all($re, $arHeaders['set-cookie'], $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER, 0);
		parent::__setCookie('vmware_soap_session', '"'.$matches[0][2].'"');
	}
	
	$result = parent::__doRequest($request, $location, $action, $version, $one_way);
	
	if (isset($this->__soap_fault) && $this->__soap_fault) {
		throw $this->__soap_fault;
	}
	return $result;
}`

@sermoshkin You are my saviour :-D

It works for me and it is compatible with VCenter 6 too.

I just changed

• $arHeaders[ strtolower($val[0]) ] = ($val[1]) ? trim($val[1]) : '';

To

• $arHeaders[ strtolower($val[0]) ] = (isset($val[1])) ? trim($val[1]) : '';

To avoid warning

Incase anyone is scratching their heads trying to figure out why none of these help with version 7 support... Upgrade your PHP version. We just deployed the system that uses this library into docker swarm, and went from php 5.4 to 7.4 as part of that. and with no code changes, we now can use vcenter 7! Was a nice surprise, as digging in to find out exactly why we couldn't talk to our v7 vCenters, and fixing it, was my job for next week :D

I didn't check on php 7.4) at least there are two ways to solve: changing the code from the comments above or trying to update the php version 🙂
