inactive Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Hey guys I'm looking for a free host with php (pref php5), that has SOAP. Nothing fancy, all I need to do is test a simple script (so ads are fine, and I don't need a huge amount of space). Only requirement is it has to be free. Any suggestions? Thanks heaps.

Daniel0 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 You don't have to use PHP's SOAP functions. Those are just for convenience, so any server supports it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inactive Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 Thanks for the reply... but I'm not sure what you mean. You can probably gather I'm pretty new to this side of things... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 SOAP requests and responses are basically consisting of XML data. Therefore, if you learn the SOAP syntax then you can just generate the XML yourself. However, it'll probably be easier to use either PHP's built-in functions or pre-existing classes such as SOAP from PEAR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inactive Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 Oh wicked yeah I see. Hence my reason for wanting a host with PEAR/SOAP support... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 A host doesn't have to support PEAR.... PEAR can be added to the php.ini include_path (or what ever it's called.... can't ever remember ini directives), or, you can just add it your self through set_ini (or in some cases you don't need to set it). Look through how to install PEAR on the PEAR website (pear.php.net), and maybe you'll see what I mean. PEAR Is like any other PHP script in a sense....

inactive Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 Oh OK thanks for that I had no idea. I'll give it a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I should probably say though that some functions that PEAR uses (embedded functions, not functions defined in actual PHP source), may be required. (For example, you can't use the a PEAR DB class which connects to MySQL without some form of MySQL support in PHP.) Anyway, no problem ;p.

inactive Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 OK no probs. I don't think I'll be doing anything too complex yet though . Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
