I have an idea..... something you might not know anything about. I may not have made myself particularly clear.... but I wasnt talking gibberish

the things you are talking about have no direct connection to the soap. you should check www.jedit.org and their plugins system.

Why the hell do you think I am looking for a programmers text editor??? What I am looking for is an application which ... I know what plug-ins are, maybe its Netscape that I want... or Photoshop.... I am going to link this to SOAP, please wait... When you open a text document - it will open a sub-application which will show your text document, plus provide the normal text editing tools... when you open a M$ Access Database, it will open a view of the database structure and data... when you open a picture, it will open an image editing sub app, or simply display. I want the application to be extremely lightweight, to be able to run on any platform. Heres the SOAP.... I want the heart of the application to remain on a remote server with the bare bones of the system residing locally, after a file is opened by the application, it will make a call to the remote server to return the correct application for opening that type of file (actually *RETURN THE APPLICATION*). The way, that I can see to do this is to return a SOAP packet which will contain application initialization information, along with a glade xml file which is the application framework. Subsequent calls from this application (eg when a button is clicked) will be handled by the remote server via SOAP.

"soap is a messaging specification describing data encoding and packaging rules for XML-based communication"

Thankyou, I know this....

as for soap extension for php, i almost forgot what was this list meant for :} i think someone should clearly define what problems do we have know, and what goals are we seeking to achieve. not going into long descriptions.

That someone not being you obviously..... I think that people should stop writing to this list saying that they want *someone* to start defining the problems/do the work... Im sorry, but I dont have a clue when it comes to writing C. But, I would like to contribute by getting people thinking about how we can use the tools we already have (in php) along with soap.... This might at least help in developing new features. Personally I like the new co-operation between the PEAR and core developers, a common API would be useful (even if one had slightly less features at any particular release time) Maybe a soap-general and a soap-dev list is required?

sorry if i look too rude, but i don't want to see php left away only as simple scripting language for counters and guestbooks.

I think it has progressed a little further than there, I know php to be useful to write client side applications which can generate pdf documents dynamically (using free pdf classes), in multiple languages (using gettext), I am now hoping to use soap, with php to write go-anywhere applications (sorry for the buzzwordiness).

How?

I was thinking more of using a soap server which would serve gtk objects (maybe as glade xml files, which could then be packed into the application -- PHP Soap Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
