SOAP differences between PHP and Perl

[Jon Drukman <jsd@cluttered.com>]

Hi all.  I'm trying to use an Apache Axis webservice from PEAR::SOAP. 
The guys who set it up gave me a bunch of sample code in perl that 
accesses it.  I'm having problems dealing with the service because the 
messages that PEAR::SOAP transmits look different from what perl's 
SOAP::Lite module generates.

so for example if i take their perl code:

 $soap->updateSubscription(SOAP::Data->type(WsSubscription => $sub));

i converted that to this PHP code:

 $new = $soapclient->call('updateSubscription',
   $params = Array('WsSubscription' => $ret));

perl generates a SoapAction header:

SOAPAction: "http://soap.rps.com.com#updateSubscription";

but PEAR::SOAP does not:

SOAPAction: ""

don't know if that means anything or not.

the perl body looks like:

<SOAP-ENV:Body>			
  <namesp2:updateSubscription 
xmlns:namesp2="http://soap.rps.com.com";>		    <WsSubscription 
xsi:type="namesp3:WsSubscription">				      <offerId 
xsi:type="xsd:int">80</offerId>					
      <country xsi:type="xsd:string">US</country>				
    </WsSubscription>			
  </namesp2:updateSubscription>		
</SOAP-ENV:Body>

the php body looks like:

<SOAP-ENV:Body>
  <updateSubscription>
    <WsSubscription>
      <country xsi:type="xsd:string">US</country>
      <offerId xsi:type="xsd:int">80</offerId>
    </WsSubscription>
  </updateSubscription>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>

seems like the php version is missing the xmlns on the 
updateSubscription element and it's missing the xsi:type on the 
WsSubscription.  this generates a fault:

org.xml.sax.SAXException: Deserializing parameter 'WsSubscription': 
could not find deserializer for type 
{http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}WsSubscription

i'm pretty ignorant about SOAP although i have used it a lot from perl, 
but mostly just adapting other people's code, so i don't really know 
what pieces of the puzzle here are important.
