Hi
I've tried the SOAPx4 by Dietriech. Looks good ('m not very profocent in SOAP).
Firstly I tried to use XMLRPC for my stuff but found the UsefulInc implementation by
Edd Dumbill is so slow -
For array with 100 elements I 've to wait 4 seconds to transfer for the server to the
client(in my case on one machine).
Then looked for alternative and found SOAP. After a little big search on the net I
found SOAPx4. As far as I can remember
there are one or two more implementations but I cannot find them (phpclasses changed
their adress to www.phpclasses.org).
At last I found that 4.1.x versions are shipped with extension for XMLRPC and I
started to use it. Interesting is that this extension
supports SOAP 1.1 specification(by the words of his author). I've not tried the SOAP
part but after looking at the source I found that
when receiving a packet the extension tries to distinguish whether this is xmlrpc
packet or soap envelope.It is bad that the extension
is compilable only under Linux. There is no version for windows. I was forced to
switch to Linux to use it.
Hope that helps.
Best regards,
Andrey Hristov
