All SOAPed up

Posted on Wednesday, January 23, 2002

So I’ve been hacking away on using SOAP to send remote procedure calls (RPCs) over the Web under PHP…

I’ve done this before in ASP/COM no sweat, but there doesn’t seem to be a “ready-for-prime-time” canned SOAP library out there for PHP like the one Simon Fell has put out for Windows, PocketSOAP, and the idea of writing my own wasn’t very appealing.

Thankfully, I’ve found one that works (except for a few undeclared variables that throw error messages, but I can suppress that). It’s Dietrich Ayala’s SOAPx4. Not perfect, but it’ll do for now.

What does this mean for you, dear reader? Well, when I’m done I’m going to write up a brief HOWTO tutorial to help you put your toe into the exciting world of Web Services. That ought to be pretty interesting, eh? Watch this space…


Sound Off, Loudmouth!
