aniesh82 Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 I have searched on net and found that, REST service can be called by using a URL. So all the parameters are needed to append to the URL.. But it is possible to return the values as even xml format.. Does it possible to pass the values to Soap Server in xml format?

MasterACE14 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 alot like apache's mod_rewrite ? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/128149-creating-a-rest-web-service/#findComment-664736 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aniesh82 Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 No.. I think, mod_rewrite is for rewriting the URL to user friendly URL But REST is a web service like SOAP. please have a look at the link below: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/128149-creating-a-rest-web-service/#findComment-664740 Share on other sites More sharing options...

xylex Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 REST is just another way of saying that you're using URL parameters. You can pass in an XML string as a value for one of the parameters, then parse it out if you wanted to, but I'm not sure why you would do this. XML is typically used for SOAP based services, not REST. If you're looking to go the SOAP route, look at NuSoap, Zend, the of course the built in stuff in PHP.
