PHP-based Web Services a Reality


WSO2's new language extension creates and consumes PHP Web services

By David Worthington
August 22, 2007 — 
Developers are accustomed to using PHP for building dynamic Web sites and server-side scripting. But, like other dynamic languages, it is proving to be more versatile than previously envisioned: PHP can now be used to create enterprise-grade Web services.

WSO2, a company that produces open source middleware for Web services, has made its Web Services Framework for PHP (WSF/PHP) available. WSF/PHP is a PHP extension that supports Web services standards, including the WS-* stack, WSDL 1.1 or WSDL 2.0.

The WSF/PHP client API can be configured to expose services as either REST- or SOAP-style services. It is backward-compatible with the PHP 5 SOAP extension, enabling developers to reuse existing PHP code. WSO2 designed the framework to be interoperable with Apache Axis2 and other Java EE implementations, as well as Microsoft .NET.

WSF/PHP is a binding of WSO2’s Web Services Framework for C (WSF/C) and is based upon the Apache Axis2/C engine, with Apache Sandesha2/C for reliable messaging, and Apache Rampart/C for security. WSF/C and WSF/PHP are the latest additions to the WSO2 framework, which consists of an ESB identity solution, a mashup server and a Web services-oriented application server. Business rules, governance and policy, portal, security and services registry components are on deck.

“PHP is one of the world’s most widely used scripting languages for creating interactive Web applications, but its broader adoption hinges on the ability to support the enterprise functionality required for business-critical Web services,” said Sanjiva Weerawarana, chief executive officer of WSO2.
