Firstly, i’m a MS developer by trade.. but i’m getting into php (see.. i do have atleast 1 redeeming quality) and i want to use php to attach to a MS.net web service. Now, i’ve tried a bunch of different scripts, and i just can’t get it to work. So, I’m modifying a 1 page grab to get xml from my service, parse it, and display it on a page..

What do i need from zen to actually get started trying to write this.. do i need one of your librarys, or the software itself? What needs to be included in the website?

I’m not familiar with zend, nor php.. if you have an article that has a ‘if you are n00b enough to only know what n00b means….start here’ kinda of tutorial.

I’ve tried to find tutorials on connecting to a MS.NET web service, and i’m not really finding anything about it.

Thanks for your help.

> Firstly package should not be named Zend_*

Why no? The idea is to encourage people to create more Zend_Service_* components.

> my personal opinion you shouldnt extend Zend_Rest_Client

Good point. I got the idea from Zend_Service_Twitter. I guess the logic behind this is, if Matthew did it, then it’s fine :)

> all responses should be checked against errors

True, but keep in mind this article only covers the basics.

Thanks

Nice tut but I have some comments. Fisrtly package shoul not be named Zend_* , lets leave zf directory untouched as is. Secondary – my personal opinion you shouldnt extend Zend_Rest_Client. Its better to have an instance of client in some protected variable. And last one idea – all responces should be checked against errors, that I’m sure most of apis throws.
