PHP5 and arrays of complextype

[Gerry Vandermaesen]

Hi,

I am currently having the exact same problem as described here:

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=36226

The webservice is configured to return 0-* objects of a complextype,
but when only one single item is returned, it does not get deserialized
as an array as I would expect, but as a single object.

The new feature proposed on the bottom of the above page does not seem
to be included in our installed version of PHP 5.1.2-1.

Is there any other way to change this behaviour.

Kind regards.

$complexType = yourCallToWebService;
if (!is_array($complexType)){ $complexType = array($complexType); }

perhaps? haven't played with that too much.

Because it is an array of arrays, simply checking is_array will always
return true.
Now assuming that the second array is associated array as described in
the bugs,
the following code **might** do the trick

$complexType = yourCallToWebService;
if(array_key_exist('id', $complexType)) $complexType = array($complexType);

interesting. i had thought that if $complexType was nothing (an unitialized
array for instance), that declaring an array initialized with nothing
(uninitialized array - $complexType) would make the array be likewise
uninitialized. i'll have to check that...just hadn't run across that before.
thanks for the heads-up.
