Passing a PHP array in a SOAP call

arrays, php, soap, xml

Solution

It's hard to test this without a SOAP server with your WSDL to go against. You should be able to create associative arrays like so:

$responses = array();
$responses[] = array("QuestionAnswerID" => someint, "QuestionID" => someint);
$responses[] = array("QuestionAnswerID" => someint, "QuestionID" => someint);

$response = array("Response" => $responses);

$soapData = array("Responses" => $response);

Problem

So I am trying to include the following XML in my SOAP request: ``` <Responses> <Response> <QuestionAnswerID>someint</QuestionAnswerID> <QuestionID>someint</QuestionID> </Response> <Response> <QuestionAnswerID>someint</QuestionAnswerID> <QuestionID>someint</QuestionID> </Response> </Responses> ``` I looked at this posting, which is vaguely on the same topic, but it produces output like so: ``` object(stdClass)#1 (1) { ["Responses"]=> object(stdClass)#2 (1) { ["Response"]=> array(2) { [0]=> object(stdClass)#3 (2) { ["QuestionAnswerID"]=> int(someint) ["QuestionID"]=> int(someint) } [1]=> object(stdClass)#4 (2) { ["QuestionAnswerID"]=> int(someint) ["SurveyQuestionID"]=> int(someint) } } } } ``` The problem with that is that the arrays now have indices, which the web service I'm calling appears to not like. Any way I can generate something like the above XML? TIA.
