I am only a php SOAPClient accessing a .net soap server. >From other postings I understand that soapclient is meant to return an object. That works for me in some instances. Knut Urdalen's wsdl2php has been a great help. But in an other method, which returns a large multidimensional data set, I think it would be better to get the result in xml to feed to simpleXml which would then be easier to work with and would not need parsing. I also have php ext/soap code calling a different service other than the one I am using and this method called returns *xml*. A while back I made requests to a soap server in the form of a post in a web form with the complete soap request inside the "textarea", that also returned xml. But then I am hearing knowledgeable people say I am supposed to work with the object that the soapclient returns. Knowing no other way to get xml from a soapclient method call I saved the output of __getLastReponseHeaders and __getLastReponse into a string/file (both ways) and tried loading them into simpleXml but I get an empty object on return (testing the same operation with good xml gives a positive result). Head spinning. Can anyone point me some tips? Thanks >2007/1/18, Roland <roland.cruse@vrs-soft.com>: >> >> Hi >> >> I am new to soap and maybe I am missing something.
