service' page in the first place was that two users couldn't do it. They
were used to using RSS, and complained that it wasn't a valid RSS feed. Of
course it wasn't. It's not RSS. But if PHP sites are all going to be
having the same problem, I wanted to have some instructions for them so I
didn't keep getting the same question time after time. And in any case,
the only answer I have for a PHP site owner who says "your feed isn't valid
RSS", is to tell him "it's not RSS. It's WDSL".
Thanks Mike for the suggestion of that PHP site. I'll go look there for
someone who's willing ot try it out for me.
Cheers

You probably don't have to know PHP to tell people how to use your
webservice. Remember that webservices are backward compatible with
browsers? Use that and for an example tell people to just fetch the
right URL with the right query string:
http://domain/webservice.cfc?method=getNews
<http://domain/webservice.cfc?method=getNews&searchKey=whatever>
&searchKey=whatever
Just provide a link to that URL and it should be obvious how it works.
