I know that's something you shoudn't forget, but, instead making Apache crash, wouldn't it be more robust to check for NULL pointers and send a gentle error? Fortunately I have a debug PHP5RC1 installed so I located the crash: php_schema.c line 1410 newType->namens = estrdup(ns->children->content); Sure it crashes, ns==NULL ... I guess it's the same problem for other retrieved elements/attributes. PHP-SOAP should be capable of trapping any unvalidated XML. If you are short of time I even offer myself to do some of that nasty pointer-check around. Thanks for your attention and your great efforts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27722&edit=1
