If you want to use SOAP in this case, you have three important pieces of code.
1. The HTML page that will allow the user to specify a file name and upload
that file, i.e. it will have a form with an enctype of multipart/form-data and
an input with a type of file.
2. The PHP/NuSOAP script that will be the action for the HTML form in #1. This
script will get the contents of the file within the HTTP POST, then pass the
contents as a parameter in the soapclient->call('UploadFile', ...);
3. The PHP/NuSOAP script that will be the SOAP service, i.e. the script with
the UploadFile method, etc., you show below.
My earlier e-mail made the point that once you have #1 from this list, all you
need is a PHP script to be the action for the HTML form that will save the file
wherever you want, as is done in the UploadFile method. Your introduction of
SOAP into this task seems unnecessary to me.
