is this a bug in the soap extension?

Hi Greg,

This WSDL file contains two non-breaking spaces (0xc2 0xa0), those are not
handled by libxml2.
As result libxml2 creates TEXT nodes and WSDL parser fails.

Thanks. Dmitry

Hi all,

When I load the simple example for geocoding with this code:

<?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 a SoapFault unexpected text element. This is in PHP
5.1.0RC4, 5.1.2, 5.1.3-dev latest CVS (I don't have 5.0
hanging around to test with)

Could someone with SOAP extension know-how take a look at the wsdl at:

http://geocoder.us/dist/eg/clients/GeoCoder.wsdl

and let me know if there really is a problem with it? If so,
I'll report the problem to geocoder, otherwise I'll open a
php bug. My quick scan does not detect any obvious problems
in the wsdl, but I rarely work with SOAP.

Thanks,
Greg
