Bug description:PHP incorrectly encodes null values in SOAP
Description:
------------
This is a duplicate of #41745 but that's been stuck on "No Feedback" since
2007, so I thought I'd re-post.
When null is provided for a SOAP parameter or the field of an object passed
as a SOAP parameter, PHP incorrectly encodes the parameter as being empty
(e.g. object with all null fields, or empty string) which is different from
an actual null. This breaks access to real-world web services.
Test script:
---------------
---------------
$soap = new SoapClient('/path/to/wsdl', array('trace' => true));
$soap->operation(null);
echo $soap->__getLastRequest();
Expected result:
----------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";
xmlns:ns1="NAMESPACE"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns1:operation>
<paramName xsi:nil="true"/>
</ns1:operation>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
Actual result:
--------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";
xmlns:ns1="NAMESPACE">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns1:operation>
<paramName/>
</ns1:operation>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
