PHP5 Soap Extension

July 12, 2005

Ok as you've seen below I have been working with the new PHP5 SOAP extension and its a frightening mix of undocumented features, crashes and bugs. I'm getting scared to deploy this in an enterprise environment. I feel like the soap extension beta tester. This is only from working with the SOAP client so far. Just wait til I get to the SOAP server! The speed is definately a huge bonus so I'm looking forward to getting stable. So hopefully we can work out these little issues and really do some load testing on it :O
<-- keeps fingers crossed

    I don't know whether you're hooking in to an existing architecture or what, but have you considered using a RESTian architecture?

    I'm actually porting it into an existing architecture that is soap based. So its my only solution at the moment. The only reason to replace nuSOAP would be for the performance gains you get having the XML parsed in C space instead of user space. The SOAP Ext is so much faster at parsing the xml response.
