Re: [SOAP] SOAP newbie looking for help

Hi bill, Thanks for the input. This prootocol reminds me a bit of OSC, which I've used before for passing control data for audio applications over networks. I've found a 'basic' tutorial online that gets one started writing a 'hello world' kind of program with a SOAP server and client, but the tutorial has problems, the code seems to malfunction. I'm going to paste in the files as I found them online, perhaps someone can help me to figure out what is going wrong. by the way, the tutorial I'm referring to is at the following URL: http://evolt.org/article/The_PEAR_SOAP_Implementation/21/49993/index.html The tutorial says that if I call the client file from my browser, I should get 'hello world' to show up. This doesn't happen. I get some strange error messages instead, especially after adding the error tracking code that you suggested (Thanks for that, by the way!). Here's the errors I get, printed as requested from the client file below: (apologies for the crappy linebreaks and tabbing) Printed return from client file: ********************** Object message: method '{urn:helloworld}helloWorld' not defined in service user info: Array get wire Here's some user info

try like this: $client->call('helloWorld',$params,$options); Not sure where 'urn:helloworld' is supposed to go, but I think it should work without it.
