You may experience problems running NuSoap library with php version 5.2.2 due to a known bug in this particular version. It's been fixed in CVS snapshot and fix will be available in 5.2.3/5.3.x, whatever comes first.

Does that explain why "Error: Response not of type text/xml" began appearing in one of my scripts after upgrading to PHP 5.2.2? It appears that the "?wsdl" suffix is dropped or ignored and the server script is returning the HTML documentation instead of an XML/SOAP response.

Upgrading NuSoap to 0.7.2 (1.104) does not resolve the issue.

I have the same issue with yours and after upgrading to snapshot version I get no more error.

Other than getting the latest PHP snapshot... or downgrading to 5.2.1, is there a workaround?

Hi THere,

I am also trying to run web services using PHP 5.2 - with no success !

What is CVS snapshot ?

Are there any other workarounds other than using an earlier version of PHP ?

5.2.3 and 5.2.1 are supposed to work fine.
5.2.2 - won't

At your own risk:

I'm getting the same thing (response not text/xml) using php 5.2.3 and nusoap 0.7.2 on freebsd 6.2.

The previous machine this was running on had php 4.4.4 and nusoap 0.7.2 on freebsd 6.1-p11

The soap functions do mssql queries by way of freetds which has also been upgraded from 0.63 to 0.64. Freetds seems to be setup correctly as I can do everything I need to from php to mssql when not using nusoap.

I've checked for whitespace - doesn't seem to be any there. And going directly to the page (eg index.php) to view the API (grey banner and purple box with funcitons listed) works fine and then clicking the WSDL link to view the xml also works fine.

I'm starting to run dry on what could be the problem. Is it definitely fixed in php 5.2.3?
Could it be something more general like switching from php 4.x to 5.x?

I've narrowed it down - nusoap is working, it's just when used with the mssql functions that there's a problem. When I figure it out, I'll post the problem / solution in a different thread since it's not relevant to this one.

Thank you so much for the great help,i really appreciate it...
