this prints out the whole response as one string without the tags
brakets. So what ever the text of the all the tags is, it get appended
and printed out.

This doesn't print anything. It's just empty.
Same thing with:

var_dump($result->messageText) ;

it shows NULL

Another thing (not related) is, I am passing the parameters as a nested array to the
web method, however, I keep on getting invalid xml format. The test
script in this email is passing a string and getting invalid merchant
id. Hum, I will have to look further into this. I was waiting to be able
to read the values from the response first.
