good book for wsdl, web services and php soap?

Question

I'd like to learn web services (SOAP, WSDL) and I primarily code in PHP. Can you suggest any book, that uses PHP to teach these concepts?

Just to comment, you might want to look into restful services. It doesn't use a WSDL or SOAP messages. You basically use http verbs to start certain actions on the service. Just a thought. — k to the z, Apr 15 '11 at 01:50

O'Reilly's PHP Cookbook has two chapters with good examples.

Ch 14 - Consuming Web Services
Ch 15 - Building Web Services

I'd like to add that the PHP.net documentation is also a great documentation once you've understood what SOAP is. http://php.net/soap – Christian Joudrey Jan 14 '11 at 17:12

Take a look on this nice book: "Zend Framework Web Services" It covers SOAP, RPC, REST, JSON-RPC and a range of other adjacent development topics, including web services testing.

Also http://www.packtpub.com/toc/php-oracle-web-development-data-processing-security-caching-xml-web-services-and-ajax-table-cont#chapter_9 this book has a good example about building SOAP server and SOAP client that consumes it.
