Hi,

We're running nusoap as our webservices server.

We have a problem and we can't really test it, since the problem comes from a client using our webservices and we can't really know what SOAP client he's using and what is his code.

The problem:

We have a function that accept a parameter that is an Array..

Using nusoap as the client, this function receives the parameter like this (print_r() output):

Code:

Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[aaa] => hello
[bbb] => 111
[ccc] => -1
[ddd] => Array
(
)
)

)

When the problematic SOAP client calls the function, we received:

Code:

Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[aaa] => hello
[bbb] => 111
[ccc] => -1
[ddd] =>
)

[!SOAP-ENC:offset] => [0]
)

I have no idea what "[!SOAP-ENC:offset]" is but it seems it is sometimes used.

Does nuSoap support this?

How should we deal with this? Just ignore the extra index?

Thank you

JL

A SOAP array member MAY contain a "SOAP-ENC:offset" attribute indicating the offset position of that item in the enclosing array. This can be used to indicate the offset position of a partially represented array (see section 5.4.2.1). Likewise, an array member MAY contain a "SOAP-ENC:position" attribute indicating the position of that item in the enclosing array. This can be used to describe members of sparse arrays (see section 5.4.2.2). The value of the "SOAP-ENC:offset" and the "SOAP-ENC:position" attribute is defined as follows:

arrayPoint = "[" #length "]"

with offsets and positions based at 0.

Thanks for the link.

Now I'm curious to know if nuSOAP supports this in a way or another!
