Re: Need help in creating a .NET compatible data type

Christopher,

I tired searching the technet.microsoft.com site for the exeact GUID 
definition, but I still find it intractable even with google.

The best I found was 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemguidclasstopic.asp

A MS GUID is an attempt at coming up with a globally unique identifier 
based on the MAC address of your ethernet card, time, and something else.

"The GUID generation algorithm is based on a combination of time and 
space. When you ask CoCreateGuid to create a new GUID, it encodes the 
time of your request in the first part of the GUID and information that 
uniquely identifies your machine (the network card's MAC address, which 
is required to be unique by the standards that apply to network card)." 
- off a blog.

"A GUID is a 128-bit integer (16 bytes)" - from the site above.

The first format looks like a human readable HEX representatoin of this 
integer.

They're of the format of : Guid("936DA01F-9ABD-4d9d-80C7-02AF85C822A8".

So, I think part of the question should be "In general, how can you 
create / fake a MS GUID.", and then "How can you create / fake a MS GUID 
in PHP."

Jacob, Thanks for the reply, Here's the script I'm using as well as the

//output the errors that result so I can be confused by them:

In case it would help, I've also attatched the two XML files that describe
the GUID data type, according to my source at the above-mentioned web
service.

If you or anyone else can help me figure out how to give the .NET SOAP
server what it wants, I'll be a much happier coder!

Thanks,

Cris
