Where can I find a very comprehensive guide to programming client webservices? I find there is very little in books, I have both your books on PHP, but none cover the topic to an extent that I can find solutions to the problems. Most of the information out there, and in your books, is very basic.
In the "PHP Advanced" book you have a small sample on how to create a web service, but you don't show how to create the client, the WSDL, etc.
This is a topic that could be expanded on, the lack of information is amazing. I have tried nusoap and it doesn't seem to work either.
I am running "PHP Version 5.6.5", and trying to connect to a webservice and I keep getting errors:
Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault exception: [WSDL] SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load from 'http://www.thawedbuffalosolutions.com/AuthenticationWS/AuthenticationService.wsdl': failed to load external entity "http://www.thawedbuffalosolutions.com/AuthenticationWS/AuthenticationService.wsdl" in C:\Apache24\htdocs\dalbum-web\DalbumAuthentication.php:45 Stack trace: #0 C:\Apache24\htdocs\dalbum-web\DalbumAuthentication.php(45): SoapClient->SoapClient('http://www.thaw...' Array) #1 {main} thrown in C:\Apache24\htdocs\dalbum-web\DalbumAuthentication.php on line 45
The error always comes from this line:
$client = new SoapClient($wsdl, $options);
Anyway, I wish there was more information in your books about this very important topic.
Thank you,
