I’m currently working with a webserivce using nusoap to build my method calls,
my problem is the array which is returned and how to format this in a manner which is useable, other projects I’ve worked on returns s much simpler structured xml file, were i could use $xml = simplexml_load_string($xmlfile); to build and sort my arrays,
this is the nusoap call
$PickUpDateTime='2011-03-17T09:00:00';
$ReturnDateTime='2011-03-21T09:00:00';
require_once('nusoap/lib/nusoap.php');
$wsdl="Srvc.asmx?WSDL";
$client = new nusoap_client($wsdl, 'wsdl');
$param = array('OTA_VehAvailRateRQ' =>
array('VehAvailRQCore' =>
array('VehRentalCore' =>
array('PickUpDateTime'=>$PickUpDateTime,
'ReturnDateTime'=>$ReturnDateTime,
'PickUpLocation' => array('LocationCode' =>$location),
'ReturnLocation' => array('LocationCode' =>$location)
)//PickUpDateTime, ReturnDateTime, PickUpLocation, ReturnLocation
)//VehRentalCore
)//VehAvailRQCore
); //OTA_VehAvailRateRQ
// LOAD OUR VARIABLE WITH THE RETURN ARRAY
$res = $client->call('GetVehAvailRate', $param);
nomally at this point I would use the simplexml_load_string(); but this dosnt seem to work with this call, doing a dump of $res produces.. ( Lots of data is missing due to the posting limit… but once the array gets to the Vehicle theres a lor more arrays in there…

When trying to loop through the multiarray using a foreach loop is proving a little more harder than first thought…
now when Im trying to access each element using a foreach loop, I’m having to use the literal calls, ie: $res[‘VehAvailRSCore’]; also those exclamation marks i havent came across before either: ie !LocationCode, normaly this would be just $res->LocationCode
So my question is this… how can i use this array to my advantage?
just so i can call each array element, and possibly add this / these values to an other array so i can format my page better?
thanks
Dude, nusoap is dead. Do not use it. Use PHP’s built-in SOAP class instead.
Accessing the array values has to done with
