Hello,<br />
<br />
We are working on converting a website from asp.net to PHP and I currently have a web reference setup in my visual studio project in which I have setup to make calls into a web service. &nbsp;Our PHP dev team is trying to re-create that webservice call but is having trouble. &nbsp;Does anyone know the easiest way to conjure out the correct information from Visual Studio so that we can make the same type of call in PHP?<br />

Thanks,<br />

Rewrite .Net Web Reference call in PHP

A Web service is a method of communication between two electronic devices over a network. It is a software function provided at a network address over the Web with the service always on as in the concept of utility computing. A web service has an interface described in Web Services Description Language (WSDL). Other systems interact with the Web service in a manner prescribed by its description using SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) messages. There are two major classes of Web services: REST-compliant web services, and Arbitrary web services.

Web Services

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

Active Server Pages (ASP) is Microsoft’s first server-side engine for dynamic web pages. ASP’s support of the Component Object Model (COM) enables it to access and use compiled libraries such as DLLs. It has been superseded by ASP.NET, but will be supported by Internet Information Services (IIS) through at least 2022.
