Thread: Convert gsoap PHP program to C

Surely __sizestring will return the sizeof the related string rather than the size of the array?

No -- the end of the string is marked with a \0 character, so its length need not be stored. There is no similar thing for "I don't have any more strings", so the number of strings must be stored.

I'm pretty sure it gives the number of strings in the string array, not the length of any single string or the size in bytes. string is the name of the array of strings you are interested in. I bet if you changed that name of the string array to foo, you would have $int __sizefoo.

this does not compile

Code:

dmmrp.c: In function ‘doUpdate’:
dmmrp.c:90:63: error: ‘struct _ns1__GetMediaListResponse’ has no member named ‘GetMediaResult’
         result = sprintf(Message, "%s\n", GetMediaListResponse.GetMediaResult->string[i]);

Umm...read your code more carefully. Look back at post #14. Your struct does not have a member GetMediaResult...it's called something else.

Switching between . and -> and vice-versa is not a magic "fix-all" for struct member issues. The only difference is that you use . with a struct and -> with a pointer-to-struct, when you are accessing members. If you don't have a pointer-to-struct, switching to -> will not fix anything, only introduce another error. You must learn what a pointer is, and when something is and is not a pointer if you want to have any chance of doing this program.
