Hi ! I ve read some stuff about Web Services now and I am still wondering, which Datatype is needed to send a binary in a SOAP Message. I already know, that this is possible (Thank God ;), but I will have to define a Datatype in a WSDL Document for that exchange. To be more specific : I have to build a Web-Service Connection between (PHP-Application)-(Java-Application)-(PHP-Application). They are connecting Learning Management Systems and I need to return a whole course in one method. This course will be a zip file, which I want to embed in a SOAP Message (I know, this is waste of space and performance, but I need this for an university exam and believe me : I've only some time left and I'd deal with the devil to get a working system rather than spend my (few) sleeping-time with handicrafting on performance..... nothing works till >6 days now :-(( ) This ZIP-File should be sent from the PHP-Application to the other PHP-App, so I'll also need to know, if there are possible problems in handling big files (they could be some MB in size, almost without exception) by sending or receiving them over WS or handling it in PHP itself. If anyone has some (good) tutorials and (easy and working!) examples for PEAR::SOAP, please let me know, I'd appreciate it. (Some informations and stuff about the possibilities and problems of the connection of Java and PHP over Web Services would be nice, too) Thanx ! :) Regards, Arne -- PHP Soap Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
