Hello to all.
I’m am charged with accepting an XML document, parsing & processing it and then return an XML document. My production environment is Apache 2.2.6/PHP 5.2.4 on a Windows box. The live environment will be Apache 2.X/PHP 5.X on a Mac server. The client is using 4D and is capable of initiating a web service. The thinking was to use SOAP, but I’m having consistent problems with the XML inside the XML. I came across the thread where eTully said, “Soap is designed for sending messages, not files.” I came across another thread thread suggesting cURL. I am extremely unfamiliar with cURL and all the examples indicate that php would be the initiator.
Can anyone suggest a method to pass xml files back and forth (which will be happening on a very regular basis), where php is NOT the initiator and possible example locations?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
