PHP’s standard SOAP module NuSOAP makes SOAP simple.
Like Perl, PHP has its emerging standard method of working with SOAP applications. NuSOAP is a single PHP script (with over 4,000 lines of code!) that handles all of the SOAP heavy lifting for you. Get your copy from http://dietrich.ganx4.com/nusoap/ and include the file in the same directory as your scripts.
The script,
amazon_soap.php
,
is meant to be run as a web page. It accepts a variable,
keyword, in the URL. With this, it creates the
proper SOAP request and returns the results
as an array.
