I will recommend using the latest version of PEAR, you can do that using: php -r "include 'http://pear.php.net/go-pear';" or wget http://pear.php.net/go-pear; php -f go-pear remember to have output buffering off in your php.ini BTW, there is something weird that is making the SOAP_Client (and maybe SOAP_Server) class fubar on PHP 4.2.1 and on PHP 4.3.0-dev (CVS code as of 2002/07/10). It works on PHP 4.2.0, whereas on 4.2.1 it just dies badly (SOAP_Client fault I think) and on 4.3.0-dev it outputs nothing (SOAP_Server?). In all cases I am using the version 0.6.2 of PEAR SOAP. I tested this using the example in SOAP/example/client.php in 2 different machines running Solaris 2.8 and 2.7 (the latter is being upgraded to 2.8 as I write this) In order to be able to test it, I had to downgrade them to 4.2.0, I also had to change some code around as 4.2.0 has a problem w/ the pow() function. Another thing, to get 4.2.1 to compile on the Solaris 2.8 (aka Solaris 8) I had to tinker w/ the configure script as there is a known bug for that platform on that OS. So, the MDB API and services are up and running. Will give the URL later this week for those of you who want to play a little w/ that, it comprises of an simple script API (using simple GET or POST), XML_RPC and SOAP services. OTOH, on a RH Linux 7.2 laptop we use here in the lab for presentations (no upgrades on kernel, freshly installed from distribution CDs) using the same version of Apache as the Solaris boxes (1.3.26), PHP 4.2.1 has no problem w/ the SOAP classes and all works nicely, nothing to tinker with, no weird contortions I had to go through. ===== --- Jesus M.
