Question

Basically building a SOAP Client, and part of the required input is formatted as so:

<Attributes>
    <Attribute>
         <AttributeType>HomeType</AttributeType>
         <Value>duplex</Value>
    </Attribute>
    <Attribute>
        <AttributeType>Bedrooms</AttributeType>
        <Value>2</Value>
    </Attribute>
    <Attribute>
        <AttributeType>Bathrooms</AttributeType>
        <Value>2</Value>
    </Attribute>
</Attributes>

This is posted via an Array:

$homeType = array (

'AttributeType' => 'HomeType',
'Value' => $_POST['hometype']
);
$bedrooms = array (
'AttributeType' => 'Bedrooms',
'Value' => $_POST['bedrooms']
);
$bathrooms = array(
'AttributeType' => 'Bathrooms',
'Value' => $_POST['bathrooms']
);
$attributes = array (
'Attribute' => $homeType,
'Attribute' => $bedrooms,
'Attribute' => $bathrooms
);

And as you can imagine, all the Array returns is the last attribute, so the xml looks like:

<Attributes>
    <Attribute>
        <AttributeType>Bathrooms</AttributeType>
        <Value>2</Value>
    </Attribute>
</Attributes>

I can’t think of any practical way around this, as the Attributes can count up to 30-50, so I don’t want to numerically key them, especially as the array is only called as:

'Attributes' => $attributes,

Any help would be massively appreciated!

Answer 1

Shouldn’t you just use an array?
$attributes = array(
‘Attribute’ => array($homeType, $bedrooms, $bathrooms)
);
