Ok. ----------------------------------------------------- COMMENTS ----------------------------------------------------- I am sorry for removing the comments. It was for the sake of brevity. The fact that I mentioned it proves I am aware of the fact that it is a bad practice. => For people: - keep comments in your code, - in that specific case, if you lack comments please refer to: http://www.steelesoftconsulting.com/code/stockquote.zip (Notice that in my first post I didn't remove the comments; it was done on purpose! Really!) ----------------------------------------------------- TESTS ----------------------------------------------------- I am sorry for removing the tests. It was for the sake of brevity. It is not very fair to me because in the code I retrieved at first there were no tests and I added them when I was trying to find the problems and they are present in my first post. => People, do not forget putting tests in your code it will prevent you from "voodoo" problems. ----------------------------------------------------- As for the: "[...] I think that my problems came from: [...]" ----------------------------------------------------- At least I am trying to give an explanation to my problems (even if it is clumsy). I said *I think*. I didn't say it is the reason why. Moreover, it is really what makes the difference between my first code and the last one. I think I haven't done anything worth being mentioned meantime... ----------------------------------------------------- >> see TESTING and request headers in client code ----------------------------------------------------- I was very pleased with seeing that. It is interesting and if I have time to I'll try to understand. You can't always spend the time you want with things even if you wish to. ----------------------------------------------------- >> require("nusoap.php") ----------------------------------------------------- As I said I am an "extreme newbie": I didn't realize the meaning of it (require). I think all of your remarks are *very relevant* (put comments and tests in your code, etc.). Yet, I just wanted to experiment a little, explore a track. I am not like the ones who can say "SOAP" without having a least a *tinytinytiny* practice of it. I am sorry if I offended you, SOAP and PHP experts. So, as a conclusion, I guess what it is the best for people is downloading: http://www.steelesoftconsulting.com/code/stockquote.zip I only wanted to tell *you*, who helped me, that my stuff was finally working and was trying to tell you why... for it not to be a "voodoo" thing too much. Anyway, it couldn't work with no MySQL extension for PHP and you couldn't imagine I hadn't activated it. As for remark 2), I don't understand why you say "DEFINITELY NOT WHY". As for "Zend_Framework", I am sorry but I only wanted to make things work without a framework (and all the work it implies to master it). do not think I haven't tried: I first downloaded "soapui" and then "Zend_Framework". But I got disheartened when I realized how much time I would take me to master either of them. The day I'll really need a framework I'll install and use it. Anyway I am grateful for you mentioning those tools. I appreciate your remarks and help.
