Web Services - WSDL: Creating SOAP Server

PHP Web Services Using WSDL Step By Step Tutorial - Part 8: We have finished talk about WSDL document. Now, we will colaborate with SOAP. This soap is provided at PHP 5 (we ever talk about SOAP use nusoap for PHP 4).

create a file named "hello_server.php" within folder where hello.wsdl has placed (within www/test/wsdl). Enter following code:

<?php
if(!extension_loaded("soap")){
  dl("php_soap.dll");
}

ini_set("soap.wsdl_cache_enabled","0");
$server = new SoapServer("hello.wsdl");

function doHello($yourName){


  return "Hello, ".$yourName;
}

$server->AddFunction("doHello");
$server->handle();
?>

This service has one method "doHello". And this method need a parameter named $yourName. It will return text such as "Hello, ".$yourName.
