This is really annoying and prevents us from developing Webservices with Ubuntu 6.06 LTS!
Description:
------------
When upgrading to Kubuntu or Ubuntu 6.06 (or even previous
Dapper Dragon pre-releases), SOAP extension in PHP 5.1.4 stops
functioning the way it used to regarding the XML responses.
Associative arrays no longer return a XML response that
specifies type.
Reproduce code:
---------------
class MyService {
function getLists() {
$out = array(
array(
'id' => 12,
'name' => 'My New List'
)
);
return $out;
}
}
In a client page:
$result = $client->getLists();
$result will be stdClass stuff on 'broken' setup, with dapper.
Expected result:
----------------
Snippet of XML response from a $client->getLists() call:
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns1:getListsResponse>
<getListsReturn SOAP-ENC:arrayType="ns2:Map[1]"
xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array">
<item xsi:type="ns2:Map">
<item>
<key xsi:type="xsd:string">id</key>
<value xsi:type="xsd:string">12</
value>
</item>
<item>
<key xsi:type="xsd:string">name</
key>
<value xsi:type="xsd:string">My New
List</value>
</item>
</item>
</getListsReturn>
</ns1:getListsResponse>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
Result variable should be:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 12
[name] => My New List
)
)
Actual result:
--------------
Actual result, missing type attributes:
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns1:getListsResponse>
<getListsReturn>
<item>
<item>
<key>id</key>
<value>12</value>
</item>
<item>
<key>name</key>
<value>My New List</value>
</item>
</item>
</getListsReturn>
</ns1:getListsResponse>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
Actual $result variable on dapper:
stdClass Object
(
[item] => stdClass Object
(
[item] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[key] => id
[value] => 20
)
[1] => stdClass Object
(
[key] => name
[value] => Test Site List
)
)
)
)

This is really annoying, it forces us to maintain our own php5-package.
