Ok, I am trying to call a webservice that is implemented in .NET. I didn't realize it's different ! I though webservices should all be the same !! I checked the return type with gettype and it's string. I modified the code to call the WS using: result = $client->myFunction($param) ; I will try to extract the data I need using regex. I know this is stupid, but I don't have another options for now. Unless someone suggests a better way. I will report the results in either cases. Thank you in advance.
