wsdl soap server not returning xml

Question

I have to write soap wsdl server in php. Requirement: request:two parameters say startDate & endDate response: as follows

<students>   
     <student FirstName='Mr. A' LastName='B' />   
     <student FirstName='Mr. B' LastName='C' /> 
</students>

Can any one help me writing wsdl file & soap server for the above requirement. I tried many ways but failing for last 4 days.

Please help in writing WSDL file & SOAP Server which communicates with WSDL file, if possible a test client to verify.

Thanks in Advance

Answer 1

Try the SoapServer class: http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.soapserver.php

Keep in mind that this class is not always available: http://www.php.net/manual/en/soap.installation.php

Using Google I found a few tutorials explaining how to set up a SOAP web service:

• http://devzone.zend.com/25/php-soap-extension/
• http://www.phpeveryday.com/articles/Web-Services-WSDL-Creating-SOAP-Server-P477.html
  
  
  

  Please help in writing WSDL file & SOAP Server which communicates with WSDL file, if possible a test client to verify.

IMHO quite high expectations on a simple Q&A site...
