Deitrich's NuSOAP probably does better with > WSDL/Schema than PEAR::SOAP, but I haven't tried to stress it to find out. Briefly browsing the mailing list archives for PHP SOAP (which has some great information in it, I´d really like to see an "official" SOAP list on php.net!) I have discovered quite a neat feature: In PEAR::SOAP you need to specifically create SOAP_Value objects for all return values. In PHP SOAP it´s possible to bind a WSDL file to the service which then analyses the file and takes care of proper encoding for return values. This is extremely helpful ´cause you don´t have to scratch your head anymore on how to create the SOAP_Value objects so that they match your WSDL definition (something that still causes headaches for me). Here´s the message that I found: http://www.geocrawler.com/lists/3/SourceForge/21431/0/8578899/ I´ll probably try it out this weekend. If it works well, this would make a great addition to PEAR::SOAP.
