RE: [SOAP] SoapClient Help

I think I figured out what I need to do based upon your response, Adam.
I have a better understanding of the SoapVar function from seeing how
you set the xsi:type to KeywordReportJob.  Google, with v11, has changed
the entire process and I was thinking too narrow-mindedly.  Thanks a
lot!

On a side note, I am still interested on some more detailed info on best
practices for using SoapVar v. SoapParam and Native Soap in general.  I
will probably be writing some detailed documentation and complex
examples myself [once I get a solid foundation in Native PHP/SOAP] for
public consumption.  If anyone has any info they'd like to contribute to
my docs/examples, that'd be awesome.  I've got a (dv) server from
MediaTemple.net that I am going to setup a site for SOAP and Web
Services examples, tutorials, etc.  It will be covering PHP and Python
initially.

Again, thanks for the help and, should I only send replies to the
mailing list?

Here is some sample code I wrote a *long* time ago (January, 2005) for
v2 of the service:

Code: http://www.trachtenberg.com/google-report.phps

My old blog post on the topic:
http://www.trachtenberg.com/blog/2005/01/29/using-the-google-adwords-api
-with-extsoap/

Note: I never used this in any meaningful way, it was just an experiment
to see what ext/soap code for the service would look like. It used to
work. I have no idea if it still works, and what changes you'd need to
make.
