Re: [nyphp-talk] Returning DB results as XML or JSON?

Just wanted to add in there that you could use MongoDB instead of MySQL, which gives you additional opportunities to do stuff like real time analytics and live in a SQL-free world. Documents are stored in a binary JSON format, so there's no conversion needed. You could almost look at your PHP scri

I would really recommend taking a look at http://wso2.org/projects/wsf/php it not only gives classes for SOAP client/service creation but it also adds an extension to PHP so that it can do almost anything it needs to when it comes to soap Pretty much any other PHP SOAP library out there has

Justin, OK, I'm still learning the verbiage here, this is my first go-around with soap. Maybe I should have mentioned I'm a soap newbie in my initial post!! Yes, my app using PHP will be the client. The service to be consumed is Novell GroupWise. I'm not sure what it's written in. htt
