what does this mean?

i'm trying to write a soap server to communciate with an activex object that sends a soap message - however all i have is the xml of the soap call to work with and this is my first soap server. documentation on php soap sucks. i wrote a script that, via curl, submits the exact soap message that the activex app is and then passthru the results to the browser. i get xml back, but it makes no sense. i'm getting soooo frustrated because there's hardly any support on this and i don't have a clue what's happening. any help would GREATLY appreciated - i'm going nuts here. here's the request xml (below it is repsonse).... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <env:Body> <r:replicate xmlns:r="http://xstandard.com/1999/replication"> <r:transaction-id>DDC50CFA-8579-4DA1-A718-60575DC23DDA</r:transaction-id> <r:packet-number>1</r:packet-number><r:packet-count>1</r:packet-count> <r:object-id>0202b2.jpg</r:object-id> <r:time-zone>Eastern Standard Time</r:time-zone> <r:payload-type>zip</r:payload-type> <r:payload>UEsDBBQAAAAIADB/OiylnA2dRB8AAPMfAAAKAAAAMDIwMmIyLmpwZ52ZZ1QTbdfvQ 42gEOm9CYIS qnQpuRFpQUBA6UWaEHqR3hQElBJ6b9KbIdJ7kV4M0kFAgdAJvYYWXryf97zny/lwztmz1syadV0z 6/rN3vu/98zczNwsAu5DlVSVAHh4eACV2w1wMwdQABAS3Br+3z0hISERMSkxMRER8b07JEBS8nsg da0MPz+bLv2kfBJY80cWFrXOkx7V6k3+NDsvkptLO5i37cLkeF65/4VnVZJ5knmwbPkamcZAjRmT CkRs4HADSH7fr9koNiLgqkhzhcpRHxLulnL+KXj9OPUdHXfU5aiiDz5tnWj+f5LsUV5r5oc52tsI iMAx3Pz6L1BLAQIUABQAAAAIADB/OiylnA2dRB8AAPMfAAAKAAAAAAAAAAEAIAC2gQAAAAAwMjAy YjIuanBnUEsFBgAAAAABAAEAOAAAAGwfAAAAAA==</r:payload> </r:replicate> </env:Body> </env:Envelope> ...response... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> - <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"> - <SOAP-ENV:Body> - <SOAP-ENV:Fault> <faultcode xsi:type="xsd:QName">SOAP-ENV:Server</faultcode> <faultstring xsi:type="xsd:string">method '{}' not defined in service</faultstring> <faultactor xsi:type="xsd:anyURI" /> - <detail xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array" SOAP-ENC:arrayType="Struct[5]" SOAP-ENC:offset="[0]"> - <item> <file xsi:type="xsd:string">/usr/local/lib/php/SOAP/Fault.php</file> <line xsi:type="xsd:int">49</line> <function xsi:type="xsd:string">pear_error</function> <class xsi:type="xsd:string">pear_error</class> <type xsi:type="xsd:string">::</type> - <args xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array" SOAP-ENC:arrayType="xsd:anyType[5]" SOAP-ENC:offset="[0]"> <item xsi:type="xsd:string">method '{}' not defined in service</item> <item xsi:type="xsd:string">Server</item> <item /> <item /> <item xsi:type="xsd:string" /> </args> </item> - <item> <file xsi:type="xsd:string">/usr/local/lib/php/SOAP/Base.php</file> <line xsi:type="xsd:int">199</line> <function xsi:type="xsd:string">soap_fault</function> <class xsi:type="xsd:string">soap_fault</class> <type xsi:type="xsd:string">-></type> - <args xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array" SOAP-ENC:arrayType="xsd:anyType[6]" SOAP-ENC:offset="[0]"> <item xsi:type="xsd:string">method '{}' not defined in service</item> <item xsi:type="xsd:string">Server</item> <item xsi:type="xsd:string" /> <item xsi:type="xsd:string" /> <item /> <item /> </args> </item> - <item> <file xsi:type="xsd:string">/usr/local/lib/php/SOAP/Server.php</file> <line xsi:type="xsd:int">377</line> <function xsi:type="xsd:string">_raisesoapfault</function> <class xsi:type="xsd:string">soap_server</class> <type xsi:type="xsd:string">-></type> - <args xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array" SOAP-ENC:arrayType="xsd:string[4]" SOAP-ENC:offset="[0]"> <item xsi:type="xsd:string">method '{}' not defined in service</item> <item xsi:type="xsd:string" /> <item xsi:type="xsd:string" /> <item xsi:type="xsd:string">Server</item> </args> </item> - <item> <file xsi:type="xsd:string">/usr/local/lib/php/SOAP/Server.php</file> <line xsi:type="xsd:int">168</line> <function xsi:type="xsd:string">parserequest</function> <class xsi:type="xsd:string">soap_server</class> <type xsi:type="xsd:string">-></type> - <args xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array" SOAP-ENC:arrayType="xsd:anyType[2]" SOAP-ENC:offset="[0]"> <item xsi:type="xsd:string" /> <item xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array" SOAP-ENC:arrayType="xsd:anyType[0]" /> </args> </item> - <item> <file xsi:type="xsd:string">/home/shared/fasttrack-basic/webservices/replication.p hp</file> <line xsi:type="xsd:int">31</line> <function xsi:type="xsd:string">service</function> <class xsi:type="xsd:string">soap_server</class> <type xsi:type="xsd:string">-></type> - <args xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array" SOAP-ENC:arrayType="xsd:string[1]" SOAP-ENC:offset="[0]"> <item xsi:type="xsd:string" /> </args> </item> </detail> </SOAP-ENV:Fault> </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
