Please take a look at the following: http://www.activestate.com/Corporate/Events/LectureSeries/SOAP_PHP.pdf in particular pages 22, 23 and 24. Page 22 details a 5 line web service call using WSDL. Pages 23 and 24 describe a call using the save service w/o WSDL but it's easily 15 lines long. What is the WSDL really doing for the programmer? And how is it acting as the "proxy" for the actual code that is the service? I think I'm on the cusp of understanding what this is/does but I just need someone to help push me over. Any help, insight or explanation would be greatly appreciated! thnx, Chris
