PHP, SOAP and geocoder.us

[www.douglassdavis.com]

I am trying to retrieve latitude and longitude via geocoder.us

I use this code, as seen on
(http://www.developer.com/lang/php/article.php/3548171):

<?php
// Create new instance of the SoapClient class
// You'll need to download the WSDL file from:
// http://geocoder.us/dist/eg/clients/GeoCoder.wsdl
$client = new SoapClient("geocoder.wsdl");
// Retrieve the address coordinates
$result = $client->geocode("411 Woody Hayes Dr, Columbus, OH");
// Dump the returned object
var_dump($result);
?>

I get this error:

Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault exception: [WSDL] SOAP-ERROR: Parsing
WSDL: Unexpected WSDL element in c:\program files\apache
group\Apache\htdocs\loctest.php:44 Stack trace: #0 c:\program
files\apache group\Apache\htdocs\loctest.php(44):
SoapClient->__construct('c:\program file...') #1 {main} thrown in
c:\program files\apache group\Apache\htdocs\loctest.php on line 44

I'm using the WSDL file at
http://geocoder.us/dist/eg/clients/GeoCoder.wsdl along with PHP5.1 and
Win XP Pro.

Has any one done this successfully? Can any one help me figure out
what could be wrong??

The WSDL contains some non-printable characters, which PHP doesn't like.

Once stripped, everything will work as expected. For your convenience, I
have prepared a stripped copy for you, which you can download from here:

Thanks... I never would have guessed.
