Remote API : trying to add a function

DNS : get 'id' from active domains:

Code:

	// Create the SOAP Client
	$client = new SoapClient(null, array('location' => $soap_location,
		'uri' => $soap_uri,
		'trace' => 1,
		'exceptions' => 1));

	try {
		// Login to the remote server
		if ( $session_id = $client->login($username,$password) ) {
			echo 'Logged into remote server sucessfully ('.$ip.').<br />';
			echo 'SessionID is : '.$session_id.'<br />';
		}

		// find ACTIVE domains on server
		$domains = $client->dns_zone_get( $session_id, array('active' => 'Y', 'server_id' => $server1_id) );
		foreach ( $domains as $key => $value ) {
			// get client_id
			$client_id1 = $client->client_get_id($session_id, $domains[$key]['sys_userid']);
			// get SOA
			$input = $client->dns_a_get( $session_id, array('name' => $domains[$key]['origin'], 'type' => 'A', 'active' => 'Y') );
			foreach ( $input as $k => $v) {
					$id = $input[$k]['id'];
			}
		}
		
		// logout
		if ( $client->logout($session_id) ) {
			echo "<br />".'Logged out sucessfully <br />'."<br />";
		}
	}

	catch (SoapFault $e) {
		echo $client->__getLastResponse();
		die('SOAP Error: '.$e->getMessage());
	}

Now I would like to create a function that updates 'serial' with this 'id'.
So I created the function :

Code:

function NewSerial($session_id, $id) {
		$dns_record = $client->dns_a_get( $session_id, $id ); // <-- PHP FATAL ERROR OBJECT
		$serial_now = date('Ymd')."01";
		$serial_old = $dns_record['serial'];
		if ( $serial_now>$serial_old ) {
			$serial_new = $serial_now;
		}
		else {
			$serial_new = $serial_old + 1;
		}
		return $serial_new;
}

and I try to call it like this:

Code:

			$client_id1 = $client->client_get_id($session_id, $domains[$key]['sys_userid']);
			// get SOA
			$input = $client->dns_a_get( $session_id, array('name' => $domains[$key]['origin'], 'type' => 'A', 'active' => 'Y') );
			foreach ( $input as $k => $v) {
				$id = $input[$k]['id'];
				$serial_new = NewSerial($session_id, $id);
			}

But I get PHP error:

Code:

PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function dns_a_get() on a non-object

What would be a proper way to archive this function ?
Thanks in advance.

Till,
Just for records, here is what works:

Code:

function NewSerial($session_id, $id) {
		require 'soap_config_server2.php';
		// Create the SOAP Client
		$client = new SoapClient(null, array('location' => $soap_location,
			'uri' => $soap_uri,
			'trace' => 1,
			'exceptions' => 1));
		$dns_record = $client->dns_a_get( $session_id, $id );
		$serial_now = date('Ymd')."01";
		$serial_old = $dns_record['serial'];
		if ( $serial_now>$serial_old ) {
			$serial_new = $serial_now;
		}
		else {
			$serial_new = $serial_old + 1;
		}
		return $serial_new;
}

Just had to define $client
Thanks again for the help.
