Hi everyone,

I am a PHP developer but having problems with developing web services using NuSoap. I would like to develop some
simple DB related services for my web based application. Here is an example ..

Client source code

<?php

// Pull in the NuSOAP code
require_once('nusoap.php');

// Create the client instance
$client = new soapclient('http://localhost/WS/DB_server.php');

// Call the SOAP method
$result = $client->call('DB_connect', array('DB_name' => 'lms_db_dsn',
'username' => '',
'password' => '',
'message' => 'Could not connect to DB'));
// Display the result
print_r('Connection ID = ' . $result);

?>

Server source code

<?php

/* Created on: 09/06/2007 */

// include the NuSOAP classes
require_once('nusoap.php');

// instantiate the server object, provided by soap_server classes
$s = new soap_server;

$s->register('DB_connect');

// define function
function DB_connect ($DB_name, $username, $password, $message)
{
return odbc_connect($DB_name, $username, $password) or die('<h4>' . $message . '</h4>');
}

// The final step is to pass any incoming posted data to the SOAP server’s service method.
$s->service($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA);

?>

THis is my output when running the client: 'Connection ID = Array'

Has anyone got any ideas ?

I'd highly recommend you to check and try samples posted on this forum first.
Then, replace print_r...$result with var_dump($result) and give it one more try
