Please let me know where i getting wrong

I m using this to create WSDL

$server = new soap_server();
    // Changed for coupons data start
    $server->soap_defencoding = 'UTF-8';
    $server->decode_utf8 = false;
    // Changed for coupons data end

    //$server->configureWSDL('m-way', 'urn:wwservice');
    $server->configureWSDL('Psocial', 'urn:wwservice',false,'document');


    // New function for spiff
    $server->register("GetUser", 
    array('Username'=>'xsd:string','Password'=>'xsd:string'),
    array('userDetails'=>'xsd:string'),
    'urn:wwservice',
    'urn:wwservice#GetUser', 'document', 'literal'
    );



    $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA = isset($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA)? $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA : file_get_contents('php://input');
    $server->service($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA);

The problem is that the SOAP response you get doesn't match the description of it in the WSDL, the WSDL has elementFormDefault="qualified" for the schema, which says that child element would be in the namespace, e.g. its saying the response should be

<GetUserResponse xmlns="urn:wwservice">
   <userDetails>Hello</userDetails>
</GetUserResponse>

but the actual response you get has

<GetUserResponse xmlns="urn:wwservice">
     <userDetails xmlns="">Successfully write a web service hurray</userDetails>
</GetUserResponse>

Note how the namespace for the userDetails element is different. You should either update the WSDL to say elementForDefault="unqualified" or update the web service to return the correct namespace on the userDetails element.
