Hi Richard, Thanks for your reply, my files are now up on pastebin: ProblemReportService.wsdl: http://pastebin.com/m9q5tDaN ProblemReport.xsd: http://pastebin.com/01YPU6Dn dropdownvalues.xsd: http://pastebin.com/1Kvbvf5U I've used the wsdl2php.php from http://pastebin.com/r1BfRysT to create this php file: ProblemReportService.php: http://pastebin.com/Txyc1mQM I understand that this ProblemReportService.php file needs to be utilised both by SoapClient and SoapServer, but how can I use this ProblemReportService.php file to handle the contents of my ProblemReport.xml to create the $request object for the Client?

My solution for the client is always the same. Wrap the WSDL and SOAPClient into an easy to use set of classes, essentially hiding the XML and SOAP aspects away and providing a normal OOP front end. I use Sourceforge's wsdl2php for that (combined with RazorsEdgeUK's patches). Take a look through the last few posts I've made on http://news.php.net/php.soap to see the sort of thing I'm talking about. There are links to some pastebin code too so you can see the code I'm creating/using as well as the output being generated. The SOAPServer's I've created have always been via Zend Framework which simplifies the creation of the WSDL file - I write the PHP code I want to expose, I add appropriate DocBlocks to that code and then I use ZF's AutoDiscover to create the WSDL file. Then I use wsdl2php to create client classes. I never write the WSDL file or create XML files or make HTTP requests. I use OOP and DocBlock documentation. But with the full wsdl file it should be a relatively simple process to construct the server classes. Of course, you _can_ do all of this without any of the ideas/suggestions I've made. But, for me, that seems to be missing out on the simplicity that comes with using PHP's SOAPClient and wsdl2php. Let me know what you need.
