Re: [DUG] Delphi Web Service & Client

[Robert martin]

Hi I developed a Delphi web service (SOAP based) and delphi clients.  This worked fine but has the disadvantage of only running on Windows web servers.  This was of course the requirement for the next web job we had.  This time I used PHP for the web service and passed the data as XML.  I developed a system that can be used again and again for any web site DB and table structure, however if I had not done this the task would have been very simple.  I would strongly recommend using PHP for the web side of your service and then just use standard Delpi / indy for the client side.  It works well, is portable and fast.  There are lots of PHP examples on the web you can use.  Hope that helps :) Rob     Charlie wrote: Hi, I would appreciate any recommendation you can give me about developing a web service and a client using Delphi. I have found some examples on the web but in each instance I have encountered errors when trying to compile or run the service. Oh I’m using BDS 2006 Pro.
