Web Services for PHP

• Using objects to make Amazon simple

• Used genproxy.php to get a starting point

• Modified generated proxy to make class easier to use

• Hand coded "type" classes based on XML Schema

• Built logic into the "type" classes to manipulate and output the data

• Now a simple script produces cool results!

• Code available in PEAR::SOAP CVS

<?php
require_once 'amazon.php';
require_once 'config.php';

$amazon = new Amazon('soap',$amazon_id);
$amazon->SearchForm($_REQUEST); 
if (count($_REQUEST)) {
    if ($amazon->Search($_REQUEST)) {
        // display a second search form at the bottom of page
        $amazon->SearchForm($_REQUEST); 
    }
}
?>
