Consuming object of ComplexType through PHP SoapClient

Question

I'm trying to consume a soap feed using the PHP SoapClient and convert it to an array. It works great until I run into an object that is a complexType.

Then it returns...

[0] => stdClass Object

...instead of showing the multiple elements that are displayed when I access the SOAP feed otherwise.

I'm very new to SOAP, so any help is appreciated.

The relevant part of the WSDL looks like this...

<xs:complexType name="UserInfo"> 
            <xs:complexContent> 
                <xs:extension base="tns:UserBaseInfo"> 
                    <xs:sequence> 
                        <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="contact_name" type="xs:string"/> 
                        <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="group_name" type="xs:string"/> 
                        <xs:element name="active" type="xs:boolean"/>

                        <xs:element name="hidden" type="xs:boolean"/> 
                        <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="deleted_date" type="xs:dateTime"/>

                        <xs:element name="no_mass_email" type="xs:boolean"/> 
                        <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="pref_bb_contact" type="xs:string"/> 
                        <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="pref_bb_image" type="xs:string"/>

                    </xs:sequence> 
                </xs:extension> 
            </xs:complexContent> 
        </xs:complexType> 

        <xs:complexType name="UserAttInfo"> 
            <xs:sequence> 
                <xs:element name="user_id" type="xs:string"/> 
                <xs:element name="att_id" type="xs:string"/> 
                <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="att_name" type="xs:string"/>

            </xs:sequence> 
        </xs:complexType> 

I'm My PHP code looks like this...

$wsdl = new SoapClient('https://location.com/UserService?wsdl', array('features' => SOAP_SINGLE_ELEMENT_ARRAYS));


    $data = $wsdl->$method($params);

    $result['gusername']            = $username;
    $result['password']             = $password;

    $result['user_id']              = $data->return->user_id;           // 8 digits integer <user_id>16977408</user_id>
    $result['group_id']             = $data->return->group_id;          // 6 digits integer
    $result['org_id']               = $data->return->org_id;            // 3 letter string
    $result['contact_name']         = $data->return->contact_name;      // string
    $result['active']               = $data->return->active;            // boolean
    $result['validated']            = $data->return->validated;         // boolean
    $result['deleted']              = $data->return->deleted;           // boolean
    $result['hidden']               = $data->return->hidden;            // boolean
    $result['last_login_date']      = $data->return->last_login_date;   // date string
    $result['last_modify']          = $data->return->last_modify;       // date string
    $result['updated_by']           = $data->return->updated_by;        // string
    $result['no_mass_email']        = $data->return->no_mass_email;     // boolean
    $result['pref_bb_contact']      = $data->return->pref_bb_contact;   // string
    $result['pref_bb_image']        = $data->return->pref_bb_image;     // string
    $result['attribute_list']       = $data->return->attribute_list; 

The resulting output looks like this...

    Array
(
    [gusername] => jsmith
    [password] => password
    [user_id] => 123456789
    [group_id] => 123456
    [org_id] => obs
    [contact_name] => John Smith
    [active] => 1
    [validated] => 1
    [deleted] => 
    [hidden] => 
    [last_login_date] => 2010-08-17T14:39:41Z
    [last_modify] => 2010-03-29T22:43:42Z
    [updated_by] => John Smith
    [no_mass_email] => 
    [pref_bb_contact] => 
    [pref_bb_image] => 
    [attribute_list] => Array
        (
            [0] => stdClass Object
                (
                )

        )

)

Answer 1

I'm getting closer, but still no dice...

I believe the solution is to use classmap to get everything working, but I'm still getting a lot of empty space.

     // authenticateUser
    class UserAttInfo  // extends stdClass
    {
        public $user_id;
        public $att_id;
        public $att_name;
        public $att_type_id;
        public $att_type_name;
        public $att_data;
        public $hidden;
        public $last_modify;
        public $view_only;
        public $editable;
    }

// Create the SOAP Client
    $wsdl_url = 'https://server.com/mc/services/UserService?wsdl';
    $classmap = array('UserAttInfo' => "UserAttInfo");
    $features = array( 'features' => SOAP_SINGLE_ELEMENT_ARRAYS, 'classmap' => $classmap);
    $wsdl =     new SoapClient($wsdl_url, $features);


    // Call the SOAP Connection
    $method = 'authenticateUser';
    $params->org_id     = $org_id;
    $params->username   = $username;
    $params->password   = $password;
    $data = $wsdl->$method($params);
    print_r ($data);

Now I seem to be getting the format in there, but no data yet?

stdClass Object
(
    [return] => stdClass Object
        (
            [user_id] => 16977408
            [group_id] => 100400
            [org_id] => obs
            [contact_name] => John Smith
            [active] => 1
            [validated] => 1
            [deleted] => 
            [hidden] => 
            [last_login_date] => 2010-08-17T14:39:41Z
            [last_modify] => 2010-03-29T22:43:42Z
            [updated_by] => John Smith
            [no_mass_email] => 
            [pref_bb_contact] => 
            [pref_bb_image] => 
            [attribute_list] => Array
                (
                    [0] => UserAttInfo Object
                        (
                            [user_id] => 
                            [att_id] => 
                            [att_name] => 
                            [att_type_id] => 
                            [att_type_name] => 
                            [att_data] => 
                            [hidden] => 
                            [last_modify] => 
                            [view_only] => 
                            [editable] => 
                        )

                )

        )

)

Anybody know more about this?
