This is how I declare arrays in my wsdls.

What about the issue of if you are building your WSDLs this way, using WS-I compliant arrays, you can’t properly pass or retrieve arrays without everything wrapping in stdClass objects?

However, if he built the exact same WSDL using soap-enc:Array, this all would have returned the results in a nice package of:

array(
array(
‘id’ => xxx, ‘name’ => yyy, ‘data’ => zzz),
array(
‘id’ => aaa, ‘name’ => bbb, ‘data’ => ccc));

I have yet to find a solution for this WS-I soapenc:Array issue.

Havr you tried the following:

$x = new SoapClient($wsdl, array('features' => SOAP_SINGLE_ELEMENT_ARRAYS));

Not sure if this is documented in the manual though.

Not sure if this will come thru in the comment, but here is a slightly different WSDL construction that I am fairly sure will facilitate always returning an array, even if the data structure encoded in it has 1 element.

The corresponding PHP server code to create the response would be something like


new SoapVar($arrayOfKeyValueData, SOAP_ENC_ARRAY, "ArrayOfKeyValueData", "[your target namespace]");
