I have a php client that needs to interact with a .net web service. The method I call returns a strongly typed dataset (some or other .net object). I cannot seem to get my php client to understand what this dataset is. I can see the information with a tcpdump, but for the life of me I can’t get php to display the results returned. Assuming you're using PHP's built-in SOAP handling stuff, it should work fine. Just var_dump or print_r the returned object to see what you get.

.NET SOAP likes to do some inconsistent/odd things. By default, I believe it wraps one message in an additional object/array layer for no apparent reason, but doesn't for messages traveling in the other direction, at least that has been the case in my very limited experience with dotnet/php SOAP interaction. (Dumping the resulting messages should provide you with the odd object structure.) jon
