Using web services PHP

Post by lynchpin »

Hello,

I must say, I have never used web services in php neither do I know how they work.
But am trying to build an application that would involve both a php application and a windows C sharp. I will need the two applications to share a database hosted on d web server, but d windows app needs to insert and read entries from d database and my web host doesnt allow remote Mysql access.

I was told to try using php web service, but i dont know how to go about it. Can anyone please advicee me on dis?

Thanx in anticipation.

Web services are widely supported by all the major technology vendors and organizations including IBM , you can create a Java web service and someone else can consume it using a .NET client without having to learn one line of Java code.There are many available scripting languages that support web services. PHP is one such language, with a powerful arsenal of open source functions and tools ,PHP provides the tools System i developers need to easily expose their data and services to external applications via Web Services.
