I have been attempting to create a SOAP client to consume services
generated by an established server. When making use of any function
which retrieves information as anything except single values, I
encounter an error:
*"SOAP-ERROR: Encoding: object hasn't 'schema' property"*
Obtaining the function and type information from an existing SOAP server
via:
$client = new SoapClient($wsdlUrl, $opts);
$reply = $client->__getFunctions();
var_dump($reply);
print "\n\n";
$reply = $client->__getTypes();
var_dump($reply);
print "\n\n";
Generates:
...
[2]=>
string(59) "GetCountriesResponse GetCountries(GetCountries $parameters)"
...
[4]=>
string(47) "struct GetCountries {
ds ds;
string status;
}"
[5]=>
string(46) "struct ds {
<anyXML> schema;
<anyXML> any;
}"
[6]=>
string(55) "struct GetCountriesResponse {
ds ds;
string status;
}"
[7]=>
string(46) "struct ds {
<anyXML> schema;
<anyXML> any;
}"
...
From what I can learn of the implementation of the server, this "ds"
structure is very similar to ADOdb's /*ADORecordSet */structure, or more
exactly the fields hash array of the record set.
The question is: How does one make use of the *SoapVar *call to
construct an appropriate schema / type definition to keep the SOAP
extension happy?
Deepest thanks,
