$server->addFunction("login");

This line associates the function with the SOAP that will be sent back to the BlackBerry. By returning a PHP array the SOAP library takes over and pushes it into XML that is supposedly a standard SOAP message. However I had to do that hack just to get to that single value, think there’s something wrong. The gist of the article though is the pre-verify step, I noticed people all over the net banging their heads against the wall because they missed that step.

That said, it is really better to use one of the cross-platform libraries where you can write a single code base and it will cross-compile for iOS, Android, and BlackBerry devices. Unless you’re doing something more low-level than permitted by those APIs, which in this case was interfacing with credit card swipe peripherals. That project is pretty much on hold for now though.

btw i want to know about if “$result” in PHP is an array,an array of object ,or an object.how can we passing that array?would you tell with an example?

thanks,

One thing I should probably mention that is pretty important, though, is that the SoapServer object is only available if you have enabled “–enable-soap” for your PHP build. So if you’re getting errors that SoapServer doesn’t exist, it isn’t a missing include, it’s a PHP build missing that option.
