Hi Larry, I am receiving a multipart mime attachment from Amazon. The idea is we request a report and get a response. This response differs from any other response I have seen in that it is multipart. I searched all over the place for a way to get it to work correctly. The soapUI program is the only one so far that has been able to show me that I get a proper return value that can be parsed. soapUI shows me the envelope XML and then has a button on the bottom that says there is an attachment that I can save to a file. So from this I know that it is possible to handle this type of request "correctly." I just haven't been able to find any real examples on how to use it. I wanted to keep everything using ext/soap since it is c code and very fast. Plus there are other parts of this program already utilizing it. So far I have my backup plan working using curl, a regex, and simplexml. ;) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

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.

I had a thought of creating a subclass for the SOAP client to pre-filter the results for document fetching so that I can just grab the last multipart chunk myself & use SimpleXML on it. I was just hoping there was some way of getting ext/soap to understand that it is a multipart response and somehow tell it to use part 3.

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. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] Fun with SOAP.
You should be able to parse it manually in PHP, but probably not with a XML parser or reader. Simply var_dump() the responses you are getting and write the code to break it up into values you can use. In some respects I've found this easier than XML, which tends at times to be somebody else's idea of a standard XML response ;-).
