Introduction

In this article I will introduce you to the Zend_Soap component of the Zend Framework. This component allows you to easily create and consume SOAP web services. We will create a simple web service with several methods using Zend_Soap_Server, and consume the service with Zend_Soap_Client.

This article requires Zend Framework, downloadable from http://framework.zend.com. At time of writing, the current version of Zend Framework is 1.9.0.
