Thank you very much for your response but that was my starting point and I am unable to get it to work.

I have got a bit further now using this tutorial and a completed script that I found online.

I can now create the node with title & description and name but it is always 0 Bytes size. it seems my content is not being uploaded to the created node.

I have added the code I am using below if anyone can help would appreciate it greatly

Hi, I used the example five of php sdk but now I would like upload a file with custom content fefferta. If I Change the row
<cite>$contentNode = $guestHome->createChild("cm_content", "cm_contains", "cm_".$name);</cite>
and the row
<cite> $contentData = $contentNode->updateContent("cm_content", $_FILES["file"]["type"], "UTF-8");</cite>
in
<cite>$contentNode = $guestHome->createChild("fe_offerta", "cm_contains", "fe_".$name);</cite>
and
<cite> $contentData = $contentNode->updateContent("fe_offerta", $_FILES["file"]["type"], "UTF-8");</cite>
php generate the follow error:
<cite> Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault exception: [soapenverver.generalException] in /var/www/Alfresco/Service/WebService/AlfrescoWebService.php:59 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/Alfresco/Service/WebService/AlfrescoWebService.php(59): SoapClient->__soapCall('update', Array, Array, Array, Array) #1 /var/www/Alfresco/Service/WebService/AlfrescoWebService.php(41): AlfrescoWebService->__soapCall('update', Array) #2 /var/www/Alfresco/Service/Session.php(162): AlfrescoWebService->__call('update', Array) #3 /var/www/Alfresco/Service/Session.php(162): AlfrescoWebService->update(Array) #4 /var/www/index.php(96): Session->save() #5 {main} thrown in /var/www/Alfresco/Service/WebService/AlfrescoWebService.php on line 59 </cite>.

Is there a solution or PHP not support custom content? Thanks
