>- see footer for list info -< Makes sense Terry, I was a bit slow there (nothing unusual). Java originating from Sun it makes sense they use a UTC date format, didn't think of that. Is the PHP on an Apache/*nix server as well mayhaps?
Just so you don't get in trouble, the correct format will be yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss if you need to create one. Make sure you use HH and not hh since a lot of parsers would consider hh a 12-hour clock and change the T to either "A" or "P" (AM/PM).

The stated "date" type for a cfc method argument is, in fact, "dateTime" in the format 'yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss'. I tried several versions of date/time yesterday but not with the 'T'! If you send that date format from php, it works as expected. If you are communicating with the webservice from another CF application, then it would seem that 'yyyy-mm-dd' is acceptable. As I was doing date calculations based on the yyyy-mm-dd format, I decided to change to "string" data type and run an IsDate() before proceeding. Hope that helps someone - I wouldn't perhaps have found it until I looked at the XML produced by the method using soapUI (mentioned later by Russ).
