PHP_SOAP_Service

A PHP-based SOAP web service template designed for secure data management and flexible query handling. This project enables user authentication, database querying, and XML response formatting, making it suitable for a range of applications requiring structured data exchange with external systems.

Features

• SOAP Web Service: Built on PHP's SOAP server functionality, adhering to WSDL for structured communication.
• User Authentication: Login through database validation.
• Database Querying: Executes parameterized SQL queries to prevent SQL injection attacks.
• XML Response Formatting: Outputs data in an XML structure for easy integration with consuming applications.

Installation

1. Clone this repository to your local server environment:

   git clone https://github.com/akartals/PHP-SOAP-server-client-template.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd PHP-SOAP-server-client-template

3. Configure the database:

   • Import the soapwdsl.sql to your server.

4. Update ./helpers/database.php with your database connection details.

5. Place test.wsdl in the root directory.

6. Update the Server URL:

   • Locate any instances of http://localhost/soaptest in files and replace them with your server’s URL (e.g., https://yourserver.com/soaptest).

Usage

You can use the client.php for retrieving data from server.
