Re: Another .Net issue

Hi, Rob it seems like You have not defined the return type of your soap-method ... Normaly, PEAR::SOAP returns structure like this: <return xsi:type="ns4:RETURN_TYPE"> <CUSTOM_TYPE xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array" SOAP-ENC:arrayType="nsX:OTHER_CUSTOM_TYPE[2]" SOAP-ENC:offset="[0]"> <item xsi:type="nsX:OTHER_CUSTOM_TYPE"> .... </item> <item xsi:type="nsX:OTHER_CUSTOM_TYPE"> .... </item> </ARRAYTYPE> </return> to understand the type definition for Disco.php please look at example 'disco_server.php': method 'GetMP3Tracks()' returns custom type "GetMP3TracksResult" contains two father custom types: "MethodDebug" and "MP3Tracks", where "MP3Tracks" is an array of farther custom type called "MP3TracksArray" and so on and so on ... Every of this custom types must be defined... So if you want your method returns an array of your custom types (in this case it would be type called "Struct"), define at first the custom type "Struct": $this->__typedef['Struct'] = array( 'varString' => 'string', 'varInt' => 'integer', 'varFloat' => 'float' ); than type "ArrayOfStruct" $this->__typedef['ArrayOfStruct'] = array( array( 'item' => '{urn:YOURNAMESPACE}Struct' ) ); and than the return type of your method - something like "MEHTODNAME_Result": $this->__typedef['MEHTODNAME_Result'] = array( 'Structs' => '{urn:YOURNAMESPACE}ArrayOfStruct' ); so now you can implement method, some kind of this: .... function MEHTODNAME () { for($i = 0; $i < 5; $i++) { $this->Structs[$i] = new SOAP_Value( 'item', '{urn:YOURNAMESPACE}Struct', array( "varString" => new SOAP_Value("varString","string","me varString, yo"), "varInt" => new SOAP_Value("varInt","int",(integer)1000000), "varFloat" => new SOAP_Value("varFloat","float",1.5) ) ); } return new SOAP_Value( 'return', '{urn:YOURNAMESPACE}MEHTODNAME_Result', array( "ArrayOfStruct" => new SOAP_Value('ArrayOfStruct', '{urn:YOURNAMESPACE}ArrayOfStruct', $this->Structs) ) ); } Hope it helps.... P.S. Thanks for recognizing bug in soap:binding transport - hope Shane will fix it asap :) "Rob Booth" <rbooth@indyme.com> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:20030423215511.97137.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > I know, why .Net?
