Hi Klaus,
Maybe I am reading this wrong but the error does appear to me to be
coming from the webserver side not the PHP wrappers. Raw SOAP output
below shows that when there is only one IMedium attachment the
IMachine::mediumAttachments is returning a IMediumAttachment object
instead of a array of handles like what occurs when there are >1
attachments.
<attribute name="mediumAttachments" type="IMediumAttachment"
readonly="yes" safearray="yes">
<desc>Array of media attached to this machine.</desc>
</attribute>

if there was an issue opened for this but maybe did not use the
right search criteria as nothing came up that seemed like the
problem I've described.
*Please* stay on the list, as what you're doing prevents
information getting found. Next time I will ignore any mail
directly sent to me. Feel free to CC back to the list.
I just saw a few minor changes about 3 months ago, and they don't
affect arrays. This was shortly before 3.1.0 was released. No
other significant changes afterwards.
So to me it seems like this is either a bug in the PHP soap code
in general, or in the PHP wrappers about which you should know
orders of magnitude more than I do. Other webservice language
bindings certainly have no problems (well, Python had a similar
issue ages ago, which is what I remembered correctly).
