Re: [PHP] Re: PHP and SOAP
Hello Cedric, I've played around a bit with SOAP and PHP now and i can suggest you the following SOAP implementation: http://dietrich.ganx4.com/nusoap/index.php This work is being developed further for PEAR but they have no stabe version yet: http://pear.php.net/ With very few code lines (applies to PHP and Delphi) I was able to - create a tiny web service that responses with a greeting to a given name and that contains some functions that return the current average server load, memory usage etc. - made a tiny application in delphi (had about 10 lines to write) that can call each of these functions and display them in a dialog box. it worked from scratch! :-)) I'll have a more in-depth look when I have time but the current implementation seems quite good and is easy to use. (need a way to create the WSDL file however).

[PHP] Re: PHP and SOAP
Hi, Let Manuel be your friend! http://www.phpclasses.org/ Quentin Udo Giacomozzi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Probably this question has been asked a couple of times but I could not find a complete answer to my question... I am new to PHP but have a lot of experience with Delphi and usually have no problems learning new languages (besides PHP is very similar to C). I also made already some little PHP scripts or modified larger scripts to suit my needs. Anyway... I need to write a web service in PHP. On the client side there will be a Delphi program that accesses the server via SOAP. I choose PHP on the server side because it (1) offers more possibilities to extend the product later on and (2) because it is less problematic with installation issues and platform support. The most work will be anyway the client so it should not be too difficult to write the server. Now the simple question: What SOAP server implementation for PHP do you suggest me? I know there are several projects being developed on but I really don't know which one I should use to begin my tests with or - in other words - to learn. I hope you can give me more information on this subject. :-) Many thanks in advance, Udo -- Udo Giacomozzi - [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.nova-sys.net - www.guweb.com The disadvantage of intelligence is that one is constantly obliged to go on learning.

Sean McCormack Lead Web Developer, Liaison voice: 512.345.0020 x 189 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Do a search on freshmeat.net for Soap. I think you'll find someone who've made an parser for soap. BTW, Soap is just XML, so find more info about Soap and use the XML functions of PHP to generate and parse the messages sent. -- Paul K Egell-Johnsen Developer/PR Manager eZ systems as http://ez.no/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Checkout the following list of SOAP implementations: http://www.soapware.org/directory/4/implementations You should find at least two implementations for PHP there. Josh Hoover KnowledgeStorm, Inc.
