I suggest you download the Zend Studio trial version to help you build out a simple SOAP model. Because the studio can generate the WSDL file automatically. Step 1. Create a Class to be a soap server Step 2. Create the WSDL file of the Class. Step 3. Create a soap client and use the WSDL of the class (Studio will advise you the method of the class when you programming the client) Step 4. Setting the Web server to make the soap server php file can be run. Step 5. Run the client, and make sure the Location of soap server is right. -----Original Message----- From: Laura Broughton [mailto:broughtonlaura@hotmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 14, 2006 11:21 PM To: soap@lists.php.net Subject: A general question Hello I posted before but i think it was a bit of a stupid question. Im really not having much luck with this web services and SOAP thing and wondered if anyone could help me out. I might ask some pretty dumb things but thats because im not completely clued up about everything and im still trying to work it all out! When i try to build something, most of the tutorials i find seem to use services from the xmethods site, is this mandatory? How would i write something without them, can i just have my client, server and my own WSDL file? Does anyone know where i can start off writing something that is 100% mine instead of referring to xmethods?? Any help is very much appreciated, its hard starting out learning something new!
