note 80715 added to function.soap-soapclient-construct

A note regarding boolean values that may seem obvious on reflection but could be a gotcha for some: Seeing a SOAP request example with <SomeBooleanParam>true</SomeBooleanParam> may lead you to pass in string "true" or "false" as the parameter, which is incorrect - the correct method is to use boolean data types. <?php $client = new SoapClient($wsdl,$options); $method = "DoSomething"; $params = new stdClass; $params->SomeBooleanParam = TRUE; $client->$method($params); /** simplified request snippet would be <SomeBooleanParam>true</SomeBooleanParam> **/ //this will also be correct, but not for the right reasons: $params->SomeBooleanParam = "true"; $client->$method($params); /** simplified request snippet would be <SomeBooleanParam>true</SomeBooleanParam> **/ //this is where you may be wondering what is going on $params->SomeBooleanParam = "false"; $client->$method($params); /** simplified request snippet would be <SomeBooleanParam>true</SomeBooleanParam> **/ //you need to do this instead $params->SomeBooleanParam = FALSE; $client->$method($params); /** simplified request snippet would be <SomeBooleanParam>false</SomeBooleanParam> **/ ?> Hope that helps! ---- Server IP: 203.202.10.60 Probable Submitter: 58.6.148.157 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.soap-soapclient-construct.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/80715 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80715/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80715/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80715/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80715/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80715/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80715/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80715 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/80715 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
