    consume ASP.NET web service with PHP

    I have an ASP.NET service that needs to be consumed on a PHP page. I
    can not count on the PHP server to have SOAP. I have read some info
    about a REST method, but I am not really sure if this can be
    applicable. Help please!!!!

      I for one don't actually know what is involved with the ASP.NET
      services. I'd assume that it's communicating via XML in some way?
      Perhaps if you gave a little more information about the expected
      behavior of the php script, you'd be able to get some help from some of
      us. (Especially since I am just rebuilding a server or two today...) ;)

          Alright, the asp.net web service creates an xml based document called a
          WSDL i believe. Not positive but i think this is what is used to
          consume it in PHP. This web service will simply query a database. All
          the PHP page has to do is pull the info as a string and display it
          somewhere on the page. Does this help any?

              Does PHP query the WSDL file, or does the ASP service query the PHP
              script? If ASP is making a request to the PHP script, then it should
              just be a matter of using the parameters to generate the output. If PHP
              is making a request to the WSDL, then you'd have to parse the file,
              generate the output, then send it to the destination whether that be
              simply printing it out or using something like curl to send it elsewhere.

              I've never worked with ASP or .NET (at all), so I don't know exactly
              what needs to be done. You may also want to take a look at the dotnet
              extension for PHP: http://us3.php.net/dotnet (especially the
              user-submitted comments).
