Description: ------------ When sending a nested array to a PEAR::SOAP WebService, some elments are objects, not arrays. Reproduce code: --------------- My PHP code: <?php // ... // here is the method declaration: $this->__typedef['{urn:something}Array'] = array(array('item'=>'anyType')); $this->__dispatch_map['test'] = array('in'=>array('anArray'=>'{urn:something}Array')); // ... ?> The XML code the client send: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><SOAP-ENV:Body xmlns:ns1="urn:something"><ns1:test SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"><anArray soapenc:arrayType="xsd:anyType[4]" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xsi:type="soapenc:Array"><item soapenc:arrayType="xsd:string[0]" xsi:type="soapenc:Array" /><item soapenc:arrayType="xsd:double[4]" xsi:type="soapenc:Array"><item xsi:type="xsd:double">1</item><item xsi:type="xsd:double">5</item><item xsi:type="xsd:double">0</item><item xsi:type="xsd:double">6</item></item><item soapenc:arrayType="xsd:double[][3]" xsi:type="soapenc:Array"><item soapenc:arrayType="xsd:double[3]" xsi:type="soapenc:Array"><item xsi:type="xsd:double">8</item><item xsi:type="xsd:double">9</item><item xsi:type="xsd:double">1</item></item><item soapenc:arrayType="xsd:double[0]" xsi:type="soapenc:Array" /><item soapenc:arrayType="xsd:double[6]" xsi:type="soapenc:Array"><item xsi:type="xsd:double">5</item><item xsi:type="xsd:double">7</item><item xsi:type="xsd:double">654</item><item xsi:type="xsd:double">8</item><item xsi:type="xsd:double">1</item><item xsi:type="xsd:double">32</item></item></item><item soapenc:arrayType="xsd:double[2]" xsi:type="soapenc:Array"><item xsi:type="xsd:double">54</item><item xsi:type="xsd:double">57</item></item></anArray></ns1:test></SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope> Expected result: ---------------- array(4) { [0]=> string(0) "" [1]=> array(4) { [0]=> float(1) [1]=> float(5) [2]=> float(0) [3]=> float(6) } [2]=> array(3) { [0]=> array(3) { [0]=> float(8) [1]=> float(9) [2]=> float(1) } [1]=> float(0) [2]=> array(6) { [0]=> float(5) [1]=> float(7) [2]=> float(654) [3]=> float(8) [4]=> float(1) [5]=> float(32) } } [3]=> array(2) { [0]=> float(54) [1]=> float(57) } } Actual result: -------------- array(1) { ["anArray"]=> array(4) { [0]=> string(0) "" [1]=> array(4) { [0]=> float(1) [1]=> float(5) [2]=> float(0) [3]=> float(6) } [2]=> object(stdClass)(1) { ["item"]=> array(5) { [0]=> float(8) [1]=> float(9) [2]=> float(1) [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> array(6) { [0]=> float(5) [1]=> float(7) [2]=> float(654) [3]=> float(8) [4]=> float(1) [5]=> float(32) } } } [3]=> array(2) { [0]=> float(54) [1]=> float(57) } } }

Otherwise, the expected result should contain an empty array at index 0, but it contain a string which does not correspond to <item soapenc:arrayType="xsd:string[0]" xsi:type="soapenc:Array" />.

Was running into an issue not too different from this one from the sound of it. I was loading an WSDL file and parsing it, but the complexType that it was supposed to assigning was being overwritten by a default value of Array, every time it would try to create the envelope to send out, the expected result would always fail saying that the data type doesn't exist, because it was looking for the complexType instead. Anyway, here's my diff of the 8.0-RC3 (I removed the comments that were stopping the code from leaving the complexType alone): diff ./WSDL.php /usr/lib/php/SOAP/WSDL.php 1070c1070 < #if (!array_key_exists('type',$this->wsdl->complexTypes[$this->schema][$this->currentComplexType])) { --- > if (!array_key_exists('type',$this->wsdl->complexTypes[$this->schema][$this->currentComplexType])) { 1072c1072 < #} --- > }

Can you please have a look and mark this bug appropriately, thank you

Unfortunately, I think we'll need a bit more of a reduced test case to track this one down.

A unit test has been added to CVS.

Adding test to cvs. The described problem does not occur with the latest cvs version.

I don't know why you added another test when I already mentioned in my comment directly above yours that I already added one. I also don't know why you are adding PHPUnit tests if the current testing framework for SOAP is obviously PHPT. Finally, I don't know why your test is not failing, but mine is, so either of our tests is wrong.
