Hi, After playing with "axis" for a while I found that there's an interesting feature that can be emulated in PHP to make web-services easier to deploy and thus more interesting to PHP developers. The idea is: Take a PHP class in a .php file and rename it to say .phpws then use a soap-server.php or similar script that can be called like: http://example.com/soap-server.php?Foo.phpws <http://example.com/soap-server.php?Foo.phpws&amp;wsdl=1> &amp;wsdl=1 And will return the WSDL for the WebService, of course http://example.com/soap-server.php?Foo.phpws Will be used to directly access the WS. My question is: does such a script makes sense? Is it reasonable to ask for such a thing with the PEAR::Soap package? I believe it can increase the usage of PHP and PEAR::Soap for Webservices a lot. Of course the idea can be changed and refined, this is just a thought. Luis.
