Re: [PHP] How to work with Webservices (.asmx) server
Hoi Anton, Great job on the Dutch part :) But please keep the thread on list. You have set the server location when you create a SOAP client instance. Take a look at : http://php.net/manual/en/soapclient.soapclient.php So when instantiating the SOAP client object you pass as a second parameter. An array with as minimal settings the location and uri. I guess in your case it would be something like this: $client = new SoapClient(null, array( 'location' = http://localhost/WebService/GetData.asmx;, 'uri' = http://localhost/WebService/;) ); And if your webservice provides a WSDL file you can replace the null parameter for that one.

Thanks Thijs.
My Father is from the Netherlands, but I wont try it all in Dutch myself...
Ok slowly but surely and with your advice I start making sense of this, I am
still playing around with some tests and reading up. It should be real clear
and obvious once you get a working example I guess.
Thanks for your assistance and advice so far.
