Sending Multidimensional Array using php

[pratheesh]

For anybody facing troubles with sending complex array to KF webservice, this might help.
After considerable hairpulling i managed to solve the riddle.
This is for the function InsertInvoice. Note: you have to provide explicit type for <anytype> element.
You are free to thank me anytime

 <?
require_once('nusoap.php');
//$client = new soapclient('https://secure.kashflow.co.uk/api/service.asmx?WSDL','wsdl');
 $soapaction = "KashFlow/InsertInvoice";
$wsdl = "https://secure.kashflow.co.uk/api/service.asmx";
$namespace = "KashFlow";
    $client = new soapclient($wsdl);
$mysoapmsg = $client->serializeEnvelope('
  <InsertInvoice xmlns="KashFlow"><UserName>yourusername</UserName><Password>yourpassword</Password><Inv><InvoiceDate>2009-01-20T11:11:04+00:00</InvoiceDate><DueDate>2009-01-20T11:11:04+00:00</DueDate><CustomerID>525434</CustomerID><Lines><anyType xsi:type="InvoiceLine"><Quantity>150</Quantity><Description>Bindaas baby</Description><Rate>30</Rate><ChargeType>812270</ChargeType><VatRate>21</VatRate></anyType></Lines></Inv></InsertInvoice>
','',array(),'document', 'literal');
 
$response = $client->send($mysoapmsg, $soapaction);
 
    if ($client->fault) {
          echo '<h3>Fault</h3><pre>';
          print_r($response);
          echo '</pre>';
        }
 
    echo "<p>SOAP query</p>";
    echo '<pre>' . htmlspecialchars($client->request, ENT_QUOTES) . '</pre>';
    echo "<p>SOAP response</p>";
    echo '<pre>' . htmlspecialchars($client->response, ENT_QUOTES) . '</pre>';
?>

I'm having this same issue under Ruby! I have no idea how to force soap4r to include the types.

Never used ruby or soap4r. Couldnt find any function similar to serializeEnvelope().
kashflow have new webservice insertinvoiceline. you may have to use it instead.
