Thanks. The word Reference was what was missing, as was the term "de-ref".
Read a bit further down in the above link, namely the php link, which is:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.variable.php
Using the term "de-ref is not complete and could be misleading --
dereferencing a variable in php is simply $$var and not ->var.
The "arrow operator" ($a->$b) dereferences the element to its left
and accesses the member to it's right. If you want an example in C it
would be (*a).b
While I was not able to find the "official" name for the operator,
but it could be called an "dereference access operator" or the "field
access operator".

Well, if I were talking to a fellow PHPriend, I probalby wouldn't even use
the word "de-ref" as I would assume that they would know (some basics in
that) if I say, " 'item's getServiceID method " that 'item' is an object and
therefore must be prefixed with a dollar sign ($) and that to make a
'getServiceID' method, it requires the -> arrow as well as the ending
parenthesis.
But I think for the OP's purposes, he could simply DEFINE any word he wanted
at the beginning of the conversation: "Listen up duder. When I say 'de-ref'
you make hyphen and a greater-than sign. Capiche?". He could just as easily
say, "Listen up duder. When I say 'arrow-thingy' you make hyphen and a
greater-than sign. Capiche?" Problem solved. ;-)

Thinking a little deeper here, you say you are concerned about the character
type, yet you say that it is all assumed UTF-8. Is everything going to be UTF-8
or something else?
If it is all going to be UTF-8, then the addcslashes() variation above will
work.

It _should_ all be UTF-8 but I suppose that it is possible for someone
to spoof a non-UTF-8 POST request. I do not want to take the
development of a secure function into my own hands.

I have given you the link to the mysql_real_escape_string(). On that page, it
shows the characters that it escapes.

For some reason I'm getting a Text file busy error when I try to
execute PHP scripts from the command line now. It used to work, but
now it doesn't. I do have #!/usr/bin/php at the top of my script. If
I feed the file to php (i.e. /usr/bin/php -f filename.php) it works.
Of course, I can use this method but I was curious if anyone else has
had similar problems and what the solution was. I'm guessing that
something I installed is messing it up.
Thanks!

You need to use double quotes (or HEREDOC) if you want PHP to replace
$variable with its value in the string:
$message="
<b> There is a text $variable trial. </b>
";
or
$message = <<<MESSAGE
<b> There is a text $variable trial. </b>
MESSAGE;

This is actually much better the { and } make it very obvious where the
variable is and also it can keep odd issues from occurring sometimes.
$message="<b> There is a text {$variable} trial. </b> ";
There is always sprint type functions also.

The {} only become really useful when you're trying to reference arrays
within a string:
$var = array('great', 'boring');
$text = "this is {$var[0]}.";
Without the curly braces, PHP wouldn't be able to figure out whether you
wanted the end string to be 'This is great.' or 'This is [0].' despite
the variable itself clearly being an array.

True however K.I.S.S would say , if you can use it like
echo “This is a statement {$Blah}.”;
echo “This is also a statement {$objBlah->BlahString}.”;
echo “This is also a statement {$tBlah[‘BlahKey’]}.”;
You should do it so you are always using the same expected format, cleaner for
readability and training other people to understand how you code.
This is my personal thoughts on it, everyone has their own prefs.

Ehh what? This has never been a problem for me:
$text = "this is $var[0].";
However this does give an error (or notice, don't recall, haven't seen
the error in quite a while):
$text = "this is $var['0'].";
In that case the solution is the curly brackets:
$text = "this is {$var['0']}.";

I reckon that part is all down to personal preference. Interesting to
see it works on objects too though. I've not seen that before, I was
always breaking outside of the strings for that type of thing.

Try this though:

print "This is $var[0][0].";

Yeah, I just forgot that PHP will correctly work with an array to a
depth of 1 inside of a string. Much like the above advice, I'd taken to
always using {} for arrays inside of strings, although not for strings
inside of strings unless I needed non-white-space text to immediately
follow said string. Would make more sense if I used the braces for
everything, but nobody has ever accused me of making too much sense
before!

And since we are trying to cover all possible ways (works with double
quotes also):
$message = '<b> There is a text ' . $variable . ' trial. </b>';

This is always safe to use variables like this...
$text = "This is " . $variable;
Or
$text = "This is " . $variable[0];

Ehh what? This has never been a problem for me:
$text = "this is $var[0].";
However this does give an error (or notice, don't recall, haven't seen
the error in quite a while):
$text = "this is $var['0'].";
In that case the solution is the curly brackets:
$text = "this is {$var['0']}.";

Nanoweb is an HTTP server: http://nanoweb.si.kz/
I'm pretty sure this is exactly what you're looking for.

I believe NuSoap is still available
source: http://sourceforge.net/projects/nusoap/
http://greghuet.blogspot.com/2007/12/soap-php5-and-nusoapphp.html
You can also look here at PHPs SOAP functions
