Need a working SOAP example using PHP SOAP

I've been searching all day (read wasting) trying to get a working SOAP example that uses the new PHP SOAP functions. http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.soap.php I've tried this one from nearly THREE years ago (03/16/2004): http://devzone.zend.com/node/view/id/689 And this one, which is apparently written in the future (05/01/2007): http://www.netmag.co.uk/zine/develop/make-your-own-soap Nothing works. Mostly I get these very unhelpful errors: Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault exception: [HTTP] Could not connect to host in /home/machine/StockQuote/client3.php:6 Stack trace: #0 [internal function]: SoapClient->__doRequest('<?xml version="...', 'http://machine....', 'urn:xmethods-de...', 1, 0) #1 [internal function]: SoapClient->__call('getQuote', Array) #2 /home/machine/StockQuote/client3.php(6): SoapClient->getQuote('ibm') #3 {main} thrown in /home/machine/StockQuote/client3.php on line 6 Now you might think, "Can you actually get to the host?". And why YES, if I try to hit the "server1.php" page that is defined in the WDSL file, I get this error: SOAP-ENV:ServerBad Request. Can't find HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA Also, I have soap.wsdl_cache_enabled = 0, yet how come I still see wsdl-47087234058273450982734508 files in /tmp ?! (yes I've restarted apache) Does anyone know of a current, WORKING, example, ideally in a .tar file or something so I don't have to waste a lot more time copy/paste/format/remove whitespace/etc.? It's also frustrating that the PHP SOAP function section doesn't have an example, nor even links to an example. :-\
