WSDL: The root element of a W3C XML Schema should be <schema>

Question

I have a php web service that I can call from a php client. I need to call this web service from a vb.net application. When I try to add a reference to this web service I get this error:

The root element of a W3C XML Schema should be <schema>

here is the top of my wsdl file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!--                    partie 1 : Definitions                               -->
<definitions    name="raidService" 
            targetNamespace="http://mydomain/webservice/raidService.wsdl" 
            xmlns:typens="urn:eRaid" 
            xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
            xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" 
            xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" 
            xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" 
            xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/">
