#46548 [NEW]: NULL return values in complex objects are not returned

From: rob at kinesissurvey dot com Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.2.6 PHP Bug Type: SOAP related Bug description: NULL return values in complex objects are not returned Description: ------------ Null elements are ignored, instead of being returned as null. I believe this is the same as bug #41745; however, the bug system would not let me post my comment there (maybe because it's in "Feedback" status?), so I'm posting it here. Since this bug has existed for over a year, a new bug report probably won't hurt things. I have a small test case. This bug is still present in PHP 5.2.6, and based on the 5.3 alpha notes, it has not been fixed there yet, either. Reproduce code: --------------- http://web4.kinesissurvey.com/rproject/sv500/nullbugclient.php Notice the "status" key is missing from the second array element.
