Well, it seems to be correct wsdl. mono(C#) and gsoap(c/c++) has now problems in creating a correct proxy: The mono proxy: //

Parsing output from php: Supported functions: ArrayOfBar EchoBars(ArrayOfBar $BARS) Supported types: Bar ArrayOfBar[] struct Bar { string NAME; } Produced with this code: $client = new SoapClient( 'http://vrcweb1.vrcis.com/custserv/CustomerService?WSDL', $options ); if ($functions = $client->__getFunctions()) { echo "Supported functions:\n"; foreach ($functions as $function) echo $function, "\n"; } if ($types = $client->__getTypes()) { echo "Supported types:\n"; foreach ($types as $type) echo $type, "\n"; }

The reason that it is not working in php is a bug in the proxy that php is creating!

The request sent: <BARS SOAP-ENC:arrayType="ns2:Bar[1]" xsi:type="ns2:ArrayOfBar"> <item xsi:type="ns2:Bar"> <NAME xsi:type="xsd:string">bar none</NAME> </item> </BARS>

This is how it should be - which your http-client demonstrates: <BARS SOAP-ENC:arrayType="ns1:Bar[1]" xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array"> <Bar xsi:type="ns1:Bar"> <NAME xsi:type="xsd:string">String Value</NAME> </Bar> </BARS>

The error is that php names the individual structs/complex types item but they must be named Bar. The error is therefore on the client side (php) which does not send a correct formated request. I am possitively convinced that receiving will work as can be seen under supported types above. You could try sending a raw xml request to your server but let php handle the response to have this observation confirmed.
