Re: [SOAP] SOAP call with multiple elements in a list

If your WSDL file is correct, then I would strongly recommend using a wsdl2php script to create the local client classes which wrap up a large amount of the complexity for you. Normally, you will have 2 classes for this situation. 1 is the "customer' (name/address) and the other is "customers" (array of customer).
