Doc #52217 [Csd]: API manual for SOAP misses detail information for returned values

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52217&edit=1 ID: 52217 User updated by: php_bugs at m-h-it dot de Reported by: php_bugs at m-h-it dot de Summary: API manual for SOAP misses detail information for returned values Status: Closed Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem Operating System: irrellevant PHP Version: Irrelevant Assigned To: rquadling New Comment: Are you sure? Please note: I'm not talking about _which_functions_ are returned, but how a single item in the returned array looks like. From a test i see that e.g. __getFunctions() returns something like: array( 0 => 'LoginCustomerResponse loginCustomer(LoginCustomer $loginCustomer)', 1 => ... So each entry seems to be a string with a function signature. Now you say, this can be something else but a string, depending on the service? If that's the case, it would be nice to have that documented to avoid confusion. I'm trying to build a WSDL parser. If the output of the mentioned methods can vary, they are quite useless.

Fix bug #52217 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-07-01 09:34:13] php_bugs at m-h-it dot de Description: ------------ I'm missing detailed information, what _exactly_ is returned from these methods: http://de2.php.net/manual/en/soapclient.gettypes.php http://de2.php.net/manual/en/soapclient.getfunctions.php Documentation states for the latter: "Returns a list of available SOAP functions". What type are the elements of this list? Functions? Strings with function names? Other arrays with more detailed function descriptions? Completing the useless examples (var_dump(..)) and also showing example output of that command would help a lot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52217&edit=1
