Re: [SOAP] PHP Web services newbie creation

thats what i always wondered. what programming language has been used by Google to make their web services. they have given all sorts of information on how to use the services but give no information on what they themselves used to make the web services. Is there any way to make out what they have used to make their web services. Regards On 6/9/06, Adam Maccabee Trachtenberg <adam@trachtenberg.com> wrote:

The datatypes aren't really C++ or PHP datatypes as much as XML Schema ComplexTypes. So, as long as your C++ client can generate the proper XML and the PHP server can parse it into PHP structures, you should be okay. -adam On Fri, 9 Jun 2006, Sahibzada Junaid Noor wrote: Thanks to every one, One more concern i have is that the web services i design wil be used by C++ desktop applications. I am just wondering if PHP would be able to support all the datatypes of C++ and vice versa. Wel also plan to sell the web services and make them available to others pretty much the Google way. So should i still go for PHP? The main reason my boss is stressing on PHP is because the rest of all the servers are using PHP. Regards On 6/8/06, Anthony Ettinger <aettinger@sdsualumni.org> wrote:

Hi LIst, I have been asked by my boss to work on a new project. The project involves providing web services just like Google. But in

our

case we will be providing security related services. Most of the

client

will

be C++, Delphi, VB desktop products which will be mainly calling our

web

services for updating the software etc. All our systems are on PHP so my boss is very reluctant to introduce

yet

another programming language in the company and is very happy with

PHP.

The only thing that scares me from using PHP for web services is the

fact

that i will have to write a lot of SOAP stuff that normally i would

not

have

to if i was using Java or .net. also i am very unclear about what is Pear and nuSOAP and how does

PHP

uses

them. I know that i have to use SOAP because it provides

interoperability

for other applications made in other programming languages. But SOAP involves WSDL. and my knowledge tells me that unlike java and .net ,

if

i am

going to write the web services in PHP, i will have to write the

WSDL

file

myself. is there any way i can write web services in PHP which are then used

by

C++

desktop applications and i dont have to write WSDL files too!? Can any one please summarize all the jargons and tell me which way

to

go.

I have programmed web services in .net but right now i cant use .net because the web servers are LInux based. Regards -- "Windows [n.] A thirty-two bit extension and GUI shell to a sixteen bit patch to
