Hi again, some posts and some examples (Shane's too) contain user-defined classes with "interesting" methods: _gettype() and __to_soap(). They seem to recur from time to time and to have a special meaning. Now the question is: are these some kind of "magic" functions that are treated in a particular way by the SOAP serializer? AFAIK they are not managed by the library (can't "grep" them in the sources). Is there any policy for declaring and using these functions?
