#41745 [Com]: PHP incorrectly encodes null values in SOAP

ID: 41745 Comment by: fredrik at wangel dot net Reported By: jasper at digiweb dot co dot nz Status: No Feedback Bug Type: SOAP related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.2.3 New Comment: Verified on PHP 5.2.4. Reported bug is still unsolved. In addition, NULL values in array responses are also handled incorrectly. I have prepared a bug41745.phpt file (based on bug39815.phpt) that will test for the above cases and two other cases that are currently working in PHP 5.2.4 (included for regression testing). Should I attach the code in a comment or send it directly to someone with CVS write access? In the meantime, get it from http://wangel.net/fredrik/php/bugs/bug41745.phpt Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-06-29 01:00:02] php-bugs at lists dot php dot net No feedback was provided for this bug for over a week, so it is being suspended automatically.

This breaks access to real-world web services. Reproduce code: --------------- $soap = new SoapClient('/path/to/wsdl', array('trace' => true)); $soap->operation(null); echo $soap->__getLastRequest(); Expected result: ---------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="NAMESPACE" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <SOAP-ENV:Body> <ns1:operation> <paramName xsi:nil="true"/> </ns1:operation> </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope> == OR == <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="NAMESPACE"> <SOAP-ENV:Body> <ns1:operation/> </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope> Actual result: -------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="NAMESPACE"> <SOAP-ENV:Body> <ns1:operation> <paramName/> </ns1:operation> </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=41745&edit=1
