Now you can view the article I wrote titling “Introduction to PHP Data Services“. There I explain how you can design and implement Data Services in PHP using WSF/PHP Data Services Library.

This article covers,

  1. Designing your Data Service API.
  2. Writing the Data Service.
  3. Deploying and Testing Data Service.
  4. Make the Data Service available in both SOAP and RESTful form.
  5. Use of WS-* features in your Data Service.

If you are thinking of adapting SOA in to your database backed PHP applications, this article will be a good starting point.
