Building PHP Web services with PEAR. PHP -- short for PHP Hypertext Preprocessor -- was, along with Perl, one of the frontrunners in server-side programming long before any JSP/Servlet or ASP technology came to be. It is often the language of choice for those using Apache's Web server, which runs almost 70% of sites on the Web. Due to its pervasiveness, it seems obvious that it should support the most recent standards, such as SOAP, which are also adopted by major technology vendors. In this article, we will describe how Web services can be implemented in PHP. [NewsForge] 12:14:18 PM
