Re: Quick Question...

A response message can have multiple parts.  However, only one of those parts 
is the return value.  The other parts are output parameters.  Output parameters 
are not supported by NuSOAP (nor by Apache SOAP and I suspect some other SOAP 
implementations), so I avoid them.

If you want to return some set of strings, you should either use an associative 
array or numerically-indexed array.  You should use the latter when the strings 
are values of the same sort of thing, such as

function foo() {
    $names[] = 'Bill Smith';
    $names[] = 'John Doe';
    $names[] = 'Jane Doe';
    return $names;
}

You use the associative array when the values are different sorts of things, 
like

function bar() {
    $ret['valid'] = 'yep';
    $ret['truelink'] = '#paste';
    $ret['falselink'] = '#copy';
    $ret['invalidlink'] = '#cut';
    return $ret;
}

My previous e-mail showed how to generate WSDL from your service when using a 
numerically-indexed array.  For an associative array, the WSDL will present the 
data as an XML complexType, and you would use something like

$server->wsdl->addComplexType(
 'MyStruct',
 'complexType',
 'struct',
 'all',
 '',
 array(
  'valid' => array('name'=>'valid','type'=>'xsd:string'),
  'truelink' => array('name'=>'truelink','type'=>'xsd:string'),
  'falselink' => array('name'=>'falselink','type'=>'xsd:string'),
  'invalidlink' => array('name'=>'invalidlink','type'=>'xsd:string')
 )
);

$server->register(
 'bar',
 array(),
 array('return' => 'tns:MyStruct'),
 'urn:MyURN'
);

Let me try and explain this a little clearer thats if i can..
I have a server function which i need to return an array from of which 
consists of 3 XSD:String values..  actually what i need to do is pass back 5 
values in an array.  I know how to pass them to the function from client to 
server that was easy its going server to client that is the problem.

<message name="functionResponse">
<part name="valid" type="xsd:string" />
<part name="truelink" type="xsd:string" />
<part name="falselink" type="xsd:string" />
<part name="invaildlink" type="xsd:string" />
</message>

what i need is to be able to do something like above...  is it even possible??
or if not what would be the simplist way?

and if it is possible i am guessing i then would do it like normal:
 $data=$client->call('function', $parameter);
and just use the dumb_var command???

regards,
Dennis
