Hi Michelle,
You could start by looking at the PHP SoapClient [1], which takes a
URI to a WSDL descriptor as argument. You can enter the URL to the
WSDL file there, like this:
$client = new
SoapClient("http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl";);
Now you need to know which function you want to call, let's say it's
called SomeFunction, then you can do:
$client->SomeFunction($paramA, $paramB);
Hope this gets you started.
