Re: [SOAP] Encoding arbitrary nested PHP arrays

Antonio, List Did you mean something that would recursively go over each value in the array and do some odd work? Could you try something link function encode_array($ar) foreach ($ar as $a) if (is_array($a)) encode_array($a); else $sv = new SOAP_Value($key, $value, $type); $params[] = $sv; return $params[] Then you can do in your code $params = encode_array($my_ar); $sc->call('array_method', $params); Is that what you meant? Otherwise you can always serialize with the PHP serialize function. Of course that only works if you have PHP on both ends of wire. /B ----- Original Message ----- From: "Antonio Ognio" <ognio@peruserver.com> To: <soap@lists.php.net> Sent: Friday, January 03, 2003 16:27 Subject: [SOAP] Encoding arbitrary nested PHP arrays > Hello everybody, > > I'm new to the list and very happy to see we've > now got quality libraries for working with SOAP > using PHP. > > I've been studying the code of the SOAP pear > module from CVS and can't figure out how to > correctly encode an arbitrary array with > elements that can be simple data types like > integers and strings as well as other arrays. > > > I've been playing with the decoding bits and > it's pretty advanced, so decoding seems not > to be a problem. > > My question is: > > If I have an arbitrary PHP array holding > more simple types and other PHP arrays, > how do I correctly generate a SOAP > message with PEAR's SOAP module using > SOAP's Schema encoding???? > > I've seen there are some flags you can > turn ON/OFF on the libraries and also > that the current implementation prefers > to map complex types into PHP Objects. > > My goal is to avoid having to previously > define a class for handling the Struct, > since it's the great flexibility of > PHP's array what I use in my application > and now all I need is to transport > this arrays from one place to another > using SOAP for RMI. > > Thanks a lot, > > Antonio Ognio > Lima-Peru > > > -- > PHP Soap Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
