Hi,

Got round the problem by doing this instead:

$param = array(
        'country1' => 'uk',
        'country2' => 'usa'
);
$wsdl="http://www.xmethods.net/sd/2001/CurrencyExchangeService.wsdl";;
$curr_client = new nusoapclient($wsdl, 'wsdl');
$rate = $curr_client->call('getRate' ,$param);

The ends justified the means, though I am still using SimpleXML to parse my
Copyright Clearance Center processes.

Cheers

George
