Hey awesome people who help with SOAP alot!

I was wondering if there is any good way to declare extra type mappings than patching WSDL files?

In my case, I have several SQLRowSet types without actually typed by their service owner, and I would like to provide a default mapper for them that would just convert the inner any XML string:

class SqlRowSet
{
    /** @var non-empty-array<int<0,max>, \Descartes\Pixi\Schema\Schema> */
    private array $schema;

    /** @var string */
    private string $any;
 
    // ...
}

Where the any comes from:

<xsd:complexType name="SqlRowSet">
    <xsd:sequence maxOccurs="unbounded">
        <xsd:element ref="xsd:schema"/>
        <xsd:any/>
    </xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>

Currently, I am parsing on top of the generated client:

$rawXml = str_replace('default:', '', $responseResult->getSqlRowSet()[0]->getAny());
$xml = simplexml_load_string($rawXml);
$items = (array) $xml->SqlRowSet1->row;

The ideal solution would be something like:

class SqlRowSet
{
    /** @var non-empty-array<int<0,max>, \Descartes\Pixi\Schema\Schema> */
    private array $schema;

    /** @var string */
    private string $any;
 
    /** @return array<string, mixed> */
    public function getRows(): array
    {
        // map here with a pre-defined snippet
    }
}

Hello @adaliszk,

The any content indeed gets decoded as an XML string by default, since that is the most complete solution:

It is posible to overwrite the AnyElement encoder completely, or alternatively define how you want to parse the SqlRowSet. An example:

https://github.com/php-soap/encoding/blob/main/examples/encoders/complexType/any-elements.php

It's also possible to change the generated code-type by setting a type-replacer. This way, you can change the string into e.g. an array.

https://github.com/phpro/soap-client/blob/v4.x/docs/drivers/metadata.md#type-replacements

Hope this helps.

Ah, nice. I should have looked at the examples folder, sorry about that 😉
I try to test it soon, but it looks very promising.
