Re: [Nusoap-general] Problem with SOAP envelope?

When using the NuSOAP soapclient::call() method, I can't seem to

If your client does

echo '<h2>Response</h2><pre>' . htmlspecialchars($client->response, =
ENT_QUOTES) . '</pre>';

it will display the contents of the response from the server, which will =
include the server's debug within an XML comment at the end of the =
response.

I am curious, does the server always turn the value in the SOAP env
body into an array?  I looked at the code and that appears to be the
case.

My previous e-mail gives the rationale for this and a "workaround".

However, why is my data used as XML when I use the NuSOAP

POST?

Older versions of NuSOAP have the feature, designed to support a =
document-based programming model, that if you passed a string of XML to =
soapclient::call as the $params, that XML string would be serialized =
as-is in the SOAP Body.  That feature was broken.  Now, the string gets =
ignored.

I presume that what you are doing is something like

    $xml =3D '<myxml/>';
    $client->call('mymethod', array('foo' =3D> $xml));

That sets up a call with a single parameter named 'foo' that is a =
string.  The SOAP payload would have something like

    <foo xsi:type=3D"xsd:string">&lt;myxml/&gt;</foo>

which is not the same as literally sending

    <myxml/>

On the server, it sees a single parameter that happens to be named 'foo' =
which has the value '<myxml/>'.
