so far i know, if u want to use web service with php and mysql, i suggest u use soap, because native php support this kind of webservice (php-soap), u can use function based service for this kind of webservice and also because of soap is XML-RPC with a lot of feature.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_service) . but if u use some framework wich support permalink, u can use REST like in Ruby On Rails. for SOAP, u can use some webservice helper like nuSOAP(deprecated with php5) or php2wsdl or php wshelper => www.jool.nl ( i use this to create wsdl based on class from database table). $P$ $T$ wrote: > Hi, > Sorry this may not be related to php-db list.
