SOAP and SugarCRM issue resolved (kinda)

Well message on SugarCRM forums went nowhere (which is what I expected) SugarCRM open source seems to be more marketing speak than anything.

Anyways end result is that the PHP5 soap library doesn't seem to mesh well with the nusoap library that SugarCRM uses.

I expect its something along the lines of the issue I found in this blog:
http://www.schlossnagle.org/~george/blog/index.php?/archives/235-Salesforce.com-and-PHP.html

I resolved the issue by just using the NuSoap library. It just didn't seem to be worth the effort to figure out the intracies of the soap internal messages. Kinda seems to defeat the purpose of using a standard right?

This is why I prefer a simpler message passing scheme like most REST apis are using.

Hi Emmett, sorry your Sugar forum post went unanswered. Jan 4th was a busy time as everyone was ramping back up. I've updated it now. (http://www.sugarcrm.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13372) Thanks for pointing out the problem.
