RE: [SOAP] [pear::soap - wsdl] Dispatch map for returning arrays (newbie)

Is there a way to specify a typedef for an array that could possibly contain different types, i.e. array of mixed? I'm not even sure if this is possible in the SOAP spec but it would be incredibly useful for one of my applications.

If you need a specific example, just ask :-) Hope that helps. Best, Chris. -- PHP Soap Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
