Consuming Web Services

[Sarky78]

Hi,

I have been playing around with web services with ColdFusion and ASP.Net and have written a very simple bit of code that just displays some text to the user. Now in CF and .net there are ways to use these web services. Is there such a way in PHP?

TIA

Tony

<? php
echo &quot;Here's some text for your user&quot;;
?>

Why is everyone in this forum responding to me as picklefish?

Yes, you can use a web service from PHP.

One way would be to use CURL (

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.curl.php).

Another would be to use fopen() (

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php)

and either fgets() (

or fread() (
