Question

I need to write a php based web service. I believe I have to write all the necessary code by myself.
I do not want to reinvent the wheel if there is already some framework to write a php based web service ?

Thank you

There is two ways :

• First, use the PHP5 soap methods https://www.php.net/manual/en//book.soap.php
• Second, use a library like nuSOAP which will allow you to generate the wsdl automatically. This library as some inconvenients like the unability to use objects to manage the service. http://sourceforge.net/projects/nusoap/
