Description: ------------ The way how SOAP_Fault builds the <detail/> element seens to be not correct. It uses a xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array" SOAP-ENC:arrayType="Struct[7]" element. Im not 100% sure if that is really no right. But i agree with the message of my client (SOAP::Lite perl) that Struct[] has no namespace. I think here should be a namespace set. I tryed to give a plain string as $detail at the construction of SOAP_Fault. But that confuses php verry hard. ;) <SOAP-ENV:Fault> <faultcode xsi:type="xsd:string">SOAP-ENV:Client</faultcode> <faultstring xsi:type="xsd:string">MESSAGE</faultstring> <faultactor xsi:type="xsd:anyURI"></faultactor> <detail xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array" SOAP-ENC:arrayType="Struct[7]" SOAP-ENC:offset="[0]"> PS: the tatatype xsi:string for faultcode is hacked for my buggy perl client which can not handle QName elements. Don't get confused by that. Reproduce code: --------------- return new SOAP_Fault('MESSAGE', 'Client', '', 'bla'); Expected result: ---------------- Maybe <detail xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array" SOAP-ENC:arrayType="xsd:Struct[7]" SOAP-ENC:offset="[0]"> ? Don't know. Actual result: -------------- <SOAP-ENV:Fault> <faultcode xsi:type="xsd:string">SOAP-ENV:Client</faultcode> <faultstring xsi:type="xsd:string">MESSAGE</faultstring> <faultactor xsi:type="xsd:anyURI"></faultactor> <detail xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array" SOAP-ENC:arrayType="Struct[7]" SOAP-ENC:offset="[0]"> ...

This is a blocker for a project I'm working on. Any known workaround until PEAR::SOAP is updated would be appreciated.

Hi, I think I have solved the bug:-) Try this patch: --- /tmp/SOAP-0.8RC3/Base.php 2004-01-17 15:22:58.000000000 +0100 +++ /usr/share/php/SOAP/Base.php 2004-10-25 05:00:08.000000000 +0200 @@ -478,15 +478,16 @@ $xmlout_offset = " SOAP-ENC:offset=\"[0]\""; if (!$arrayType) { $numtypes = count($array_types); - if ($numtypes == 1) $arrayType = array_type; // using anyType is more interoperable if ($array_type == 'Struct') { $array_type = ''; } else if ($array_type == 'Array') { $arrayType = 'anyType'; $array_type_prefix = 'xsd'; - } else + } else { + if ($numtypes == 1) $arrayType = $array_type; if (!$arrayType) $arrayType = $array_type; + } } } if (!$arrayType || $numtypes > 1) { Regards, Michael
