Re: SOAP in PHP on very restricted host?

as i said, its a relic. i started using it where i work because we are still on php4 (dont ask) and was dismayed. i looked around at some articles online and thats where i got the impression it was the defacto standard back in php4 when java already had a robust soap api (and probly .net too). im sure it was great in its hey-day. the real problem using it anymore is, as you observed, you have to acquaint yourself w/ a totally new (to use SoapClient folks) API. and at this point (w/ SoapClient out there) i beg the question, why bother. i hate to suggest it, but you might want to take a little time and investigate what other restrictions you host has. if the list is long you may want to consider a move. it may seem arduous now, but the longer you wait the more arduous it will become. -nathan On 9/26/07, David Christopher Zentgraf <deceze@gmail.com> wrote: > > On 26.
