I present you a complete test case: <?php /** Function that is the culprit **/ function filter($o) { if(is_array($o)) { foreach($o as &$v) { $v = filter($v); } return $o; } return $o; } /** * Test class */ class TestClient extends SoapClient { public function __construct() { parent::__construct('http://www.ripedev.com/webservices/localtime.asmx?WSDL'); } public function __doRequest($request, $location, $action, $version, $one_way = NULL) { echo htmlentities($request); die(); } } $args = array( "ZipCode" => null ); /** * When commentend (ZipCode not there): * <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> * <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="http://www.ripedev.com/"> * <SOAP-ENV:Body> * <ns1:LocalTimeByZipCode/> * </SOAP-ENV:Body> * </SOAP-ENV:Envelope> * * When uncommented (zipCode is now an empty string??): * <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> * <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="http://www.ripedev.com/"> * <SOAP-ENV:Body> * <ns1:LocalTimeByZipCode> * <ns1:ZipCode></ns1:ZipCode> * </ns1:LocalTimeByZipCode> * </SOAP-ENV:Body> * </SOAP-ENV:Envelope> */ // $args = filter($args); // Both show same var_dump: // var_dump($args); // array(1) { ["ZipCode"]=> NULL } // var_dump(filter($args)); // array(1) { ["ZipCode"]=> NULL } $client = new TestClient(); $client->LocalTimeByZipCode($args); Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-03-10 03:00:25] ppbg at andreika dot info / ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-03-10 02:56:28] ppbg at andreika dot info Description: ------------ I got strange behavour in soap extension but I think it is not soap-related. If I call soap method with "complex" params I lost some tags in request ( it can be invalid and dropped while wsdl schema validation ? ) if that param was reference reproduced in ubuntu and centos (remi package) with 7.0.3 and 7.0.4 Test script: --------------- $client = new \SoapClient('WebStoreWS.xml', [ 'trace' => true, ]); $params = [ 'p' => [ 'param1' => 'OK', 'param2' => [ 'item' => 1, 'item2' => 2 ] ] ]; if ( MAKEREF || UNLINKIT || FIXME) { // make ref $p = &$array['p']['param2']; if ( UNLINKIT) { //remove ref unset($p); } if (FIXME) { // "touch" any key of array to fix problem $array['p']['param2']['item'] = $array['p']['param2']['item']; } } try { $client->myFunc($params); } catch(\Exception $e) { echo $client->__getLastRequest(); } Expected result: ---------------- // it works in php5.6 (all params) and php7.0.4 with !MAKEREF OR FIXME= true <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <SOAP-ENV:Envelope ...> <p> <param1>OK</param1> <param2> <item>1</item> <item2>2</item2> </param2> </p> </SOAP-ENV> Actual result: -------------- // it fails in php7.0.4 with MAKEREF AND !FIXME <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <SOAP-ENV:Envelope ...> <p> <param1>OK</param1> </p> </SOAP-ENV> so if we made a reference in subarray of params we got problems even unlink reference. But if we change any param of subarray (even on the same value) the problem will be fixed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=71763&edit=1
