NYCPHP Meetup

[Donald J. Organ IV]

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 limitations when it comes to interacting with SOAP, whether it be the headers, or authentication or attachements.... this doesnt.

Subject: Re: [nycphp-talk] PHP and SOAP 

I never used groupwise soap objects, so I can't comment on specifics there. 


Some debugging tools: 


Fiddler2 and charles for getting down and dirty with the messages going over the wire: http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/ http://www.charlesproxy.com/ 


SoapUI to experiment with calling the service: http://www.soapui.org/ 


SoapUI is eclipse based, and inherits all the eclipse project/workspace workflow. However, even if you are not a fan of eclipse in general (I am not) this is the best soap tool I know of. If yu are on windows, also look at storm http://www.codeplex.com/storm

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.

Aaron, 

For new PHP5 development use the built-in or zend soap client I've never used the zend framework one. 

I take it PHP will be the soap client? What is the soap service written in? 

Regards, 

Justin Dearing

Hi, 
I have only used the built in soap extension. I never had problems with it. 
I have not used any others.
