Using SOAP

Post by irishmike2004 »

Hello:

I decided to update my weather application that I am working on and found that NOAA (National Weather Organization) is using a SOAP server to handle WDSL for their XML feeds.

Problem 1: I am on a Macintosh (OS X) and not sure what if anything I need to handle this protocol.

Problem 2: Not sure how to use SOAP to get my XML file into a form where I can parse it in my script.

Being completely oblivious to the protocol, I need to figure out how one might make the request. Apparently OS X server has Apache Axis installed which is the SOAP server for Apache... but since my machine is not "server" I can not even be sure if it is installed or not?

Any help on this would be greatly welcomed. I am at a loss to even begin to wrap my head around what I need to do.

Thanks,

How do you tell if soap is enabled in your PHP

Post by irishmike2004 »

That is all well and good, but How do I tell if it was enabled when the PHP was compiled, you see on the OS X platform, we get our PHP in binary form already compiled... mainly because every time I try to compile something on my system it fails every time... so I go for binaries.

Would the PHP test page do it?

Thanks,
