[phpug] Re: PHP SOAP working tutorial

nzphpug@googlegroups.com writes: Hi there all, Wondered if anyone had a link to a PHP Soap tutorial that they have used and found useful? Have noted that many online are connecting to servers which are no longer active for testing. wanting to create a client in PHP SOAP? Really? People are still using that? You'd be better off sticking to REST (simple HTTP GET or POST), which is as easy as using curl -- SOAP over-complicates what is usually supposed to be simple. Flickr, when it was implementing web services, implemented SOAP and simple GET and POST interfaces, and only 2% of the traffic it got was via SOAP, so they decommissioned their SOAP services. I think many public web service providers don't bother with implementing anything with SOAP any more, hence why your 'testing services' are no longer functioning. If it's the client forcing you to do SOAP, you could try here: http://wso2.org/library/1060 If it was me, I wouldn't touch SOAP with a rusty 40ft barge pole. OK, maybe to put it out of its misery. -- Cheers, Brett Taylor Campus Head of Department, Interactive Design and Web Development Natcoll Design Technology, Wellington tel (04) 384 9624 fax (04) 384 9626 www.natcoll.ac.nz -- "Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is the probable reason why so few engage in it." -- Henry Ford --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ NZ PHP Users Group: http://groups.google.com/group/nzphpug To post, send email to nzphpug@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe, send email to nzphpug+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
