Using the Zend_Rest_Client is very similar to using
SoapClient objects (SOAP web service extension).
You can simply call the REST service procedures as
Zend_Rest_Client methods. Specify the service's full
address in the Zend_Rest_Client constructor.
Example 677. A basic REST request
<?php
/**
* Connect to framework.zend.com server and retrieve a greeting
*/
$client = new Zend_Rest_Client('http://framework.zend.com/rest');
echo $client->sayHello('Davey', 'Day')->get(); // "Hello Davey, Good Day"
Differences in calling
Zend_Rest_Client attempts to make remote methods
look as much like native methods as possible, the only
difference being that you must follow the method call with one
of either get(), post(),
put() or delete(). This call may
be made via method chaining or in separate method calls:
<?php
$client->sayHello('Davey', 'Day');
echo $client->get();
