Re: [PHP] Fun with SOAP.

I'm not sure how it looks etc with with soapui but I noticed you
mentioning you don't want to mess with nusoap. I've used nusoap for
both client and server uses for years and I'm really impressed with how
easily it works. Using $soapInstance->request and
$soapInstance->response the xml is displayed where you can see how it
was created based on the array you fed the instance before sending for
your message. It makes troubleshooting much easier for me.

That being said I don't send attachments. However just doing a quick
google on "nusoap attachments" (without the quotes) has mention of
people sending MIME attachments and one listing an issue with DIME
encoded attachments yet another explaining that he solved the DIME
encoded issue and referred to "wrox book open source webservices page
315" which is an on-line book.

Sorry no quick silver bullet, but I would highly recommend looking at
nusoap if only as a test.

Hi Nathan!

Thanks for the reply. I'm download it as we speak. Hopefully it'll
give me some sort of answer as to what is going on. I really haven't
found out enough about the SOAP "standard" enough to know what is
expected behavior, etc. I know I can see all of the raw data there,
just ext/soap doesn't seem to like the multi-part. Maybe soapUI will
give me some sort of answer for this.


After using soapUI I've determined that the SOAP response gives back
an envelope and has one attachment. Does anyone know if the SOAP
extension can handle attachments? I'd really rather not mess around
with nusoap or the pear soap package. I don't see anywhere on the
manual where it is possible to download attachments. Hopefully
someone else has dealt with this before.
