Hi, Supposing a web service that would return a message element of type FeatureCollection containing an array of elements (ArrayofFeatures) of type Feature, as defined in the WSDL snippet below: <types xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"> <schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="http://mynamespace.net"> <complexType name="FeatureCollection"> <sequence> <element name="count" type="xsd:int" <element name="features" type="ArrayOfFeatures" /> </sequence> </complexType> <complexType name="ArrayOfFeatures"> <complexContent> <restriction base="SOAP-ENC:arrayType"> <attribute ref="SOAP-ENC:arrayType" arrayType="Feature[]" /> </restriction> </complexContent> </complexType> <complexType name="Feature"> <sequence> <element name="distance" type="xsd:float" /> <element name="x" type="xsd:float" /> <element name="y" type="xsd:float" /> </sequence> </complexType> </schema> </types> Is the PEAR::SOAP implementation capable of handling such complex types? If not, I would have to rely on some other SOAP implementation... If so, how would you proceed to define such element types in the server in order to use PEAR::SOAP WSDL generation capabilities (I have looked carefuly through the examples and documentation, without being able to figure out)? Also, how would you create such a FeatureCollection element in order to be able to send it back from the PHP server? I understand the process for simple types (return $somestring;) of "simple" complex types, but for nested complex types?
