That's not how SOAP works. You're supposed to let the SOAP client handle the XML serialization. You're supposed to do: $params = array('username' => 'foo', 'password' => 'bar', /* ... */ ) $result = $client->import($params); I don't know of a way to override SOAPClient this way. Well, maybe if you hook into SoapClient::__doRequest() and overwrite the request XML, but that's kludgy. Yea, you could implement a __call() method which stashes the XML someplace, calls the virtual method, then intercepts it in __doRequest() and uses DOM to suck out the bad data and shove in the XML you stashed away. I think. But I ain't coding it up to see. You are on your own. :) -adam -- adam@trachtenberg.com | http://www.trachtenberg.com author of o'reilly's "upgrading to php 5" and "php cookbook" avoid the holiday rush, buy your copies today!
