I am attempting to integrate my VFP P.O.S. with Magento an open source web cart. So far I have mee accessing the MySql database directly but I know the API functions should be quicker and safer. My current issue is with trying to translate the following example code :-S into something usable in VFP.

$proxy = new SoapClient('http://magentohost/api/soap/?wsdl');
$sessionId = $proxy->login('apiUser', 'apiKey');

$newImage = array(
'file' => array(
'name' => 'file_name',
'content' => base64_encode(file_get_contents('product.jpg')),
'mime' => 'image/jpeg'
),
'label' => 'Cool Image Through Soap',
'position' => 2,
'types' => array('small_image'),
'exclude' => 0
);

$imageFilename = $proxy->call($sessionId, 'product_media.create', array('Sku', $newImage));


var_dump($imageFilename);


My attempt

local cBitMap, cBitMap1
cBitMap1=FILETOSTR(STORE.cpicdir-"\product\"-alltrim(positems.mainimage))
cBitMap=STRCONV(cBitMap1,13)

dimension picfile(3,2)AS ARRAY
store "name" to picfile(1,1)
store "aatestpicture.png" to picfile(1,2)
store "content" to picfile(2,1)
store cBitMap to picfile(2,2)
store "mime" to picfile(3,1)
store "image/png" to picfile(3,2)

store "small_image" to typefile

dimension picarray(5,2)AS ARRAY
store "file" to picarray(1,1)
store picfile to picarray(1,2)
store "label" to picarray(2,1)
store "this is my test image" to picarray(2,2)
store "position" to picarray(3,1)
store 2 to picarray(3,2)
store "types" to picarray(4,1)
store typefile to picarray(4,2)
store "exclude" to picarray(5,1)
store 0 to picarray(5,2)

dimension oArray(1,2) AS ARRAY
store positems.cupcnumber to oArray(1,1)
store picarray to oArray(1,2)
