Any tips on I can handle this? Would you not handle it like you would with any array of n size? Foreach() ? While() ? A problem I encountered is if the returned data is only a single item sometimes, PEAR::SOAP doesn't seem to build it up on the PHP client side as an array of size 1. Instead it creates an object from the values. - Mike C. ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
