Thanks for the clarification, Dmitry. I see that it is legal to type a SOAP array the way that PHP does it, but I don't think it's the right way to do it. :-) The problem is, how will the SOAP server with which I'm dealing have any knowledge of the "type derived there from"? Unless it's written in PHP, it doesn't necessarily parse requests against the schema in the WSDL, so it likely won't have any knowledge of that derived type. So, is there any way to cajole PHP into defining arrays with a "SOAP-ENC:Array" type rather than the "type derived there from"? Perhaps formatting the WSDL differently, like using elements rather than complex types? Any suggestions? -Peter ""Dmitry Stogov"" <dmitry@zend.com> wrote in message 000001c61c06$4bfd97d0$6e02a8c0@thinkpad">news:000001c61c06$4bfd97d0$6e02a8c0@thinkpad... > H Peter, > > This is well known issue, but not a php/soap bug. > The problem that some SOAP implementations don't confirm to SOAP > specification and don't accept types derived from array. > > See: http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/NOTE-SOAP-20000508/#_Toc478383522 > > "SOAP arrays are defined as having a type of "SOAP-ENC:Array" or A TYPE > DERIVED THERE FROM." > > Thanks.
