While pissing about at work today, I found out about this SOAP buisniss. It sounded pritty neat - so I pissed about with it.
This is what I made.
STEP 1: Download NuSOAP from http://dietrich.ganx4.com/nusoap
STEP 2: Upload it to your php-enablied WebSpace
STEP 3: Create the following PHP file'n' upload
<?php
require_once('nusoap.php'); // Point to the NuSoap file
global $tranmode,$sourcedata;
// Check they are searching for something
if ($sourcedata) {
$params = array("translationmode" => $language_mode, "sourcedata" => $txt_2_translate);
$soapclient = new soapclient('http://www.xmethods.net/sd/2001/BabelFishService.wsdl','wsdl');
$resultdatachose = $soapclient->call('BabelFish',$params);
}
?>

STEP 4: Upload at Test.
This all works perfictly on my server at http://www.u-muppet.co.uk/trans.php .
Im not sure if this is usefull for anyone, but apparnetly Amazon and Google both use SOAP or 'wsdl'. It would be interesting to deveolop a website that takes the prices and compares - ovbously adding in your 'recomened From' bonus-code thinggy 😃
Anyway, hope you all like it.
Meh'
