    This document discusses developing a simple web service in PHP using the nusoap library in 5 minutes. It begins by introducing web services and SOAP. It then covers the basics of SOAP including SOAP requests, responses, and faults. The document demonstrates how to create a simple PHP function to return city names, and register it as a web service using nusoap. It also shows how to call the web service using a SOAP client. Finally, it discusses considerations for SOAP transactions, authentication, and provides additional SOAP resources.

    Who is this talk for?
    ➲ PHP developers with moderate degree of
    expertise in PHP
    ➲ PHP developers wanting to implement
    SOAP based webservice
    ➲ PHP developers who think webservices is
    rocket science

    What will be covered
    ➲ What are web services
    ➲ Basics of SOAP
    ➲ Implementing a simple webservice using
    NuSOAP
    What is a webservice?
    ➲ Loosely coupled, reusable software
    components that semantically encapsulate
    discrete functionality and are distributed and
    programmatically accessible over standard

    What is a webservice??
    ➲ Remote
    Procedure
    Calling protocol
    that works over HTTP.
    Where to use Webservices?
    ➲ Retrieve information dynamically over web
     Service integrations
     Price comparisons
     Hotel bookings
    ➲ Web applications requiring integration with
    diverse programming languages

    What we need in short
    ➲ XML output is not always simplest to put in
    PHP code
    ➲ The XML output is repetitive
    ➲ Most of us are lazy
    ➲ Less work is better
    ➲ In-Short what is needed is a class
    which abstracts the SOAP messages
    for us
    NuSOAP Toolkit
    ➲ Several PHP toolkits available for SOAP
    ➲ NuSOAP usage is simple and efficient
    ➲ Object Oriented ...
    ➲ URL - http://dietrich.ganx4.com/nusoap/
    ➲ Author - Dietrich Ayala
    ➲ Has support for WSDL generation as well
    A PHP Function
    // Return the STD code for the City.
    function getCityName ($pincode){

    $cityNames = array(‘691003’ => ‘Kollam’, ‘691235’


    => ‘Ernakulam’, ‘6945678’ => ‘Trivandrum’);
    return $cityNames[‘$pincode’];
    }
    SOAP Server

    require_once('nusoap.php');
    $server = new soap_server;
    $server->register(getCityName');
    $server->service
    ($_SERVER['HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA']);
    exit();
    SOAP Client
    require_once('nusoap.php');
    $param = array(‘pincode'=>’691003’);
    $client = new soapclient
    ('http://localhost/service.php?wsdl');
    $response = $client->call(‘getCityName', $param);

    $response will now have the City name for the


    pincode passed as parameter... ...
    What is missing?
    ➲ What if you don't pass a Pincode ?
    ➲ What if you don't get a result?
    ➲ What if....
    ➲ SOAP Fault generation
    PHP Function revisted
    / Return the STD code for the City.
    function getCityName ($pincode){
    global $db
    if ($pincode == '') {
    /* Return a SOAP fault indicating a blank pincode */
    return new soap_fault(
    'Client', '',
    'Must supply a pincode',''
    );
    }
    $cityNames = array(‘691003’ => ‘Kollam’, ‘691235’ => ‘Ernakulam’, ‘6945678’ =>
    ‘Trivandrum’);
    return $cityNames[‘$pincode’];
    }
    SOAP Client revisted
    require_once('nusoap.php');
    $param = array(‘pincode'=>’691003’);
    $client = $client = new soapclient
    ('http://localhost/service.php?wsdl');
    $response = $client->call('getCityName', $param);
    if($client->fault){
    echo "FAULT: <p>Code: {$client->faultcode}
    <br />";
    echo "String: {$client->faultstring} </p>";
    } else{
    echo $response; }
    Some considerations
    ➲ SOAP transactions/session
    ➲ SOAP authentication and security
    SOAP Resources
    ➲ Other PHP SOAP implementations
     PHP-SOAP Extension
     Activestate SWSAPI for PHP
     Manuel Lemos SOAP class
    SOAP Resources
