Posting array to WSDL with read only properties

[grib]

My PHP is a little rusty so I could just be overlooking something simple. I'm trying to write a client for webservice, the WSDL is available here. I used wsdl2php to create a list of functions and classes which allows me to read and write data through the web portal. One of the functions, AddNewCustomer, requires an instance of the class TIntactCustomer to be passed as an array, normally this would work, but on the portal the Balance property is set to Read-Only and the function returns an error.

The developers of the portal have suggested I remove Balance from the array, which gives me this error; Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault exception: [SOAP-ENV:Server] '' is not a valid floating point value.
If I remove Balance from the class also, I get this error Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault exception: [Client] SOAP-ERROR: Encoding: object hasn't 'Balance' property in /Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/htdocs/intact/lib/IIntactservice.php:685

Has anyone any idea?

Thanks
Andrew

require_once 'IIntactservice.php';
$customer = new IIntactservice();


$newcustomer = new TIntactCustomer();

$newcustomer->Code = "ALED001";
$newcustomer->Name = "Customer Name";
$newcustomer->Address1 = "365 Old Road";
$newcustomer->Address2 = "Lisburn";
$newcustomer->Address3 = "";
$newcustomer->Address4 = "";
$newcustomer->Address5 = "";
$newcustomer->PostCode = "BT26 6TH";
$newcustomer->Balance = 0;
$newcustomer->OnOrder = 0;
$newcustomer->Unbilled = 0;
$newcustomer->UnAllocated = 0;
$newcustomer->CreditLimit = 0;
$newcustomer->Phone1 = "02854339047";
$newcustomer->Phone2 = "";
$newcustomer->Fax = "";
$newcustomer->EMail = "[e-mail]";
$newcustomer->YTDNetTurnover = 0;
$newcustomer->DeliveryAddress1 = "";
$newcustomer->DeliveryAddress2 = "";
$newcustomer->DeliveryAddress3 = "";
$newcustomer->DeliveryAddress4 = "";
$newcustomer->DeliveryAddress5 = "";
$newcustomer->DefaultVATRate = 2;
$newcustomer->HoCode = "";
$newcustomer->IsHo = False;



	$result = $customer->AddNewCustomer($newcustomer);
	print_r($result);

Try this:

1. Remove the balance property from your TIntactCustomer class.

2. Make sure you have the WSDL file locally and then remove the line - <xs:element name="Balance" type="xs:double"/>

3. Make sure you are not caching the WSDL locally.

Thanks for the fast reply, I've disabled the caching and taken balance away from the class and the wsdl and no longer receive a SOAP error, however the function still returns an error (-1) showing that it has not been processed on the server. I've contacted the developers again, incase any other fields are read-only.

It seems stupid to me to create a WSDL file that requires a field to be set but then that particular field is read only at the server end.

Perhaps you should introduce them to the minOccurs property of the WSDL?

[grib]

I wish I could but they aren't the most open group. The reason the property exists is when you use call GetCustomer then it creates an array of object of TIntactCustomer and values like Balance are needed in that case to provide that information.
