Description:
------------
When transferring via SOAP associative arrays which have elements with
NULL value these elements are lost. At the same time f.e. empty strings
are transferred normally. Properities of objects with NULL value are
also transferred OK. The problem is that indices of associative arrays
are also informative as well as their values, therefore it's a loss of
significant information.
Another example: in case of data fetch from database into associative
array we often have array elements with NULL value, and when fetching
multiple rows each time the structure of array will be different
while we expect it to be the same after transfer via SOAP.
P.S. This case is in non-WSDL mode.
Reproduce code:
---------------
---- SOAP Server ---
class foo {
function bar() {
return array('a' => 1, 'b' => NULL, 'c' => 2, 'd'=>'');
}
}
$server = new SoapServer(null, array('uri' => "http://test-uri/";));
$server->setClass("foo");
$server->handle();
---- SOAP Client ---
$client = new SoapClient(NULL, array('location'=>
"http://...../server.php";,
"uri" => "http://test-uri/";,
"trace" => 1,
"exceptions" => 1));
$result = $client->bar();
print_r($result);
Expected result:
----------------
array (
'a' => 1,
'b' => NULL
'c' => 2
'd' => '',
)
Actual result:
--------------
array (
'a' => 1,
'c' => 2
'd' => '',
)
