Stu ‘n’ Sonias Weblog

I recently added a couple of PHP WebServices to my site so that I can use them for testing at work and for educational purposes. If you don’t know what a WebService is then you probably don’t need to know, if you are interested then there is a good definition here on wikipedia.

The WebServices are pretty simple at the moment, one echo’s back a name and the other does simple addition, there are flavours of the Services for RPC Encoded, Document Literal, RPC Literal and Document Encoded. I will be adding some more interesting examples over the coming months, perhaps even integrating into my gallery to serve up images in a similar way to Flickr.

The WebService page is here http://www.discostu.co.uk/stunsonia/?page_id=97 and you can either use the basic webforms I built or you can download the WSDL’s and use them in a client of your choice. The NuSOAP libraries I’ve used seem to be fairly good in that they are interoperable but it only supports SOAP and WSDL 1.1 at the moment.

Drop me a line if you have any idea’s for a more interesting WebService or if you are having problems consuming the services.
