I've been writing a demo web service in PHP using nuSOAP.

I wanted to know what is the advantage of nuSOAP to SOAP PHP5 class.

Also, this is a test web service to use as a model.

I was wondering which were the typical scenarios (general to Webservices, not just PHP) I should test out e.g. providing a web method that returns an object from the server returning a list of items.

The only advantage IMO is that it is a set of PHP classes and No PHP extensions are required.

So, if your webhost uses an older version of PHP or does NOT have SoapClient extension installed, you can use this.

To test the webservice, there is an awesome tool: soapUI.

  • Thanks. Yeah, I've been given that tip, soapUI rocks. But I wanted to know if there's a basic test suite for WSs. – Ignacio Sep 01 '10 at 13:22
  • @ign, If you want something basic, go for SoapUI FREE version. That is the lite version of the thing. – shamittomar Sep 01 '10 at 17:41
  • I got that already, it's great. What I mean is that perhaps there is a basic array of functionality to do a proof of concept WS. What would that be? – Ignacio Sep 01 '10 at 18:50

I could tell one .

Nusoap could provide wsdl uri.

e.g.

https://www.domain.com/nusoap?wsdl
