I need to have a look at the existing MIME code again and see if SOAP does require all the things there and if it wouldn't be less effort to duplicate some code and optimize it for the special purpose in the SOAP component. My implementation is SOAP with Attachments. There is nothing really nice. I started with this: http://www.w3.org/TR/SOAP-attachments#SOAPMultipart Besides SOAP with Attachments there is also MTOM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTOM > Which other encodings would you want?

Amazon required 8-bit raw for XML attachments (at least it was the only solution that worked). And it would be maybe also necessary to have binary attachments for other files. > I've a question for you here as well - would this sit on top of PHP's > SOAP extension, or something totally new?

I know it's not the best approach and it should be native functionality within the SOAP extension but I can't help with this as I don't know any C besides 'Hello World'. And it's at least better to have a PHP implementation then nothing. The ultimate solution for PHP would be imo to have this extension in PHP core: http://wso2.org/projects/wsf/php as it already has a lot of features. I would have used it if I had been allowed to install it on the server. Then I coded the userland solution. I would like to share this code as it was really annoying for me to find out that I needed to do this for such a common thing. I'll go on with a possible ezcSoap component if you are interested, otherwise I publish the code somewhere else just as it is. I'll look into the three issues with ezcMail MIME in August and file feature requests and maybe provide some patches.
