Re: Pear SOAP questions...

The setup steps for properly setting up your complex types is not as straight forward as it should be, so I can see why you are having troubles. For an array, you would do: $this->__typedef["{$namespace}TypeName"] = array( array('item' => "{$namespace}ArrayElement") ); In theory, you should be able to set session information in a Cookie and pass it in the HTTP headers. There are a few other options: - Run a stateless service and authenticate every request with HTTP Basic or Digest Authentication (note you can only implement digest on the PEAR SOAP Server side, the client doesn't support it). - Use session information as normal in the HTTP layer (i.e. cookie), again easier on the server side... would have to investigate if you could set the cookie information using CURL. - Use a SOAP header for passing a session ID around. The bonus this has is that you are transport independent and don't rely on HTTP for the sessions.
