Imran, the class is badly written. It uses cURL with errors switched off, and no checks in place to see if cURL is supported :- function codeweb ($url, $tag1="", $tag2="", $tryb="GET", $post="") { /***/ $ch = @curl_init(); Try removing the '@' from the curl_init line to see if this is where it is failing.

Dear Friends, I want to use a webservice class for example text2speech, that translates our text into voice. I've downloaded this class from phpclasses.org. When I call its file e.g., example.html, nothing happens (blank white page). What do you think is the problem? *Do I need to install any other Software?* Actually, its first time that I want to use a webservice. I'm using PHP 5.2.1, Apache 2.0.59.
