You can do all of it just by reading the PHP documentation. BUT.... it is easier to use one. Nusoap is fairly old and not as compliant with later releases of PHP (which now has it's own SOAP extension). Hence the Nusoap53 (a separate package). With regard to the Zend Framework, you don't need to use all of it. The code I provided (List: I sent a ZIP file of ready to go files - client, server, tests, etc.) uses very few of the ZF classes (Zend_Soap_Server for the Server, Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover/Zend_Soap_Wsdl for the WSDL generation), just enough to get you going. Nothing to master. I'm new to the ZF. I use it currently for Soap. I'm getting to grips with the Zend_Config_Xml and extending it to perform how I want (auto decide from several settings, depending upon environment/servername/locale/etc.). You can learn ZF very much 1 piece at a time. I hope our comments have been useful. Regards, Richard. -- ----- Richard Quadling "Standing on the shoulders of some very clever giants!"
