Zend Framework 101: Zend_Soap

Summary

In this article I introduced you to the Zend_Soap component of the Zend Framework. I showed you how to create a basic web service with Zend_Soap_Server and then how to consume it with Zend_Soap_Client.

Part of this process included generating a WSDL file to describe all of the functions in the service. We achieved this by using Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover and PhpDoc.
