It would be nice if phpdoc comments in classes could be parsed automagically in order to produce WSDL contracts. Then, we would only have to write documented classes, and they would be available as web services through a proxy or router ... ;) There is some work already done on this subject, mainly the following: SOAPx4: http://dietrich.ganx4.com/soapx4 phpXMLP: http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpxmlp Nicolas. -- Nicolas "Brush" HOIZEY Free PHP projects http://www.phpheaven.net Veille tous azimuts http://www.gasteroprod.com Clever Age http://www.clever-age.com
