It is based on the DOM XML tools in PHP4. I haven't had time to look at the SOAP implementation in PHP5. It (SOAP in PHP5) might work witht the WSDL or it might not. 99% it doesn't :( > Probably the biggest requirement is a CQL parser, of which there's three > OSS implementations (Java, C and Python) and a couple I know of which > aren't released to the public yet including C#. Our PHP based SRW includes a CQL parser as well. For SRW client we use PHP/YAZ (which does Z39.50 as well). > > Perl has a good SOAP module, but I've not recently tried out the SRW WSDL > in it. (It didn't work last time due to document/literal style) I never got it to work properly either. The only route to make it work is to use DOM XML - as in PHP. -- Adam > > > Mike?
