SImple Soap needed
<p>I admit, I don't "get it" when it comes to soap.  I've got a code snipet I'm told will do what I need it to for the company we're working with.  Trouble is, I need more than a 'snipet'  I have zero knowledge when it comes to SOAP. I can do some C, java script, java, and X. I don't even know what to name the file that this goes in.  The company that sent it isn't being helpful.  I suspect they don't know either and this came from the guy they contracted in another country. For the experts this is probably easy but what I need is a from the ground up, what do I do with this. Obviously the names of fields were changed but it's pretty much exactly what I got.  It's going to be run on Linux.  I shortened the soap 'envelope' so it would fit on the page but supposedly the actual one is fine. </p>
