Hi, Newbie here with a question: I'm trying to communicate with a web service implemented in .NET to get information about files stored in an online archive. The methods provided by this web service all require a parameter called the 'sessionID' which is of the data type 'guid'. After writing to the providers of the service, I've got two XML descriptions of this data type, but have so far been unable to create a PHP variable to send with my requests that works. All I get back are errors about XML problems. I have included below the XML descriptions of the guid, in the hopes that someone might be able to help me figure this one out. Any takers?
