Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=36226&edit=1 ID: 36226 Comment by: a at b dot com Reported by: say_ten at multiplay dot co dot uk Summary: Inconsistent handling when passing potential arrays. Status: Closed Type: Bug Package: SOAP related Operating System: FreeBSD 6.0-p4 PHP Version: 5.1.2 Assigned To: dmitry Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: @dmitry: Can you explain why you consider inconsistent behaviour a feature? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-03-20 07:52:09] dmitry@php.net Fixed in CVS HEAD and PHP_5_2. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-03-18 10:15:18] lsmith@php.net Ah ok .. I finally had the genius idea of searching the existing test cases for one that covers my issues. Since I am a phpt n00b, I ripped the code instead of simply updating the test case. The code should be similar enough for you to recognize from the test case for Bug #36226.

I did a minor change to the wsdl to allow nillable for the sequence.

Would be nice to have that one fixed for php 5.2.2.

So the issue is that I end up with an array(null) for logOnEvent instead of simply null. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-23 01:00:00] 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.

I cannot imagine the situation when ext/soap will return array(null) for unexisting XML elements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-08 15:32:19] lsmith@php.net Enabling this feature seems to result in giving me an array(null) if I have a nill'ed sequence. Not sure if this is why you originally introduced the feature of not returning single element sequences as array's, but I was hoping to get an empty array in the above case. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
