8. SOAPX4 and PhpXMLP

SOAP is an XML-based protocol for messaging and RPC-style communication between two processes. The World Wide Web Consortium's XML Protocol (XP) Working Group is working on a SOAP standard, which will be called XP.

The SOAPX4 (Simple Object Access Protocol) implementation for PHP is at http://dietrich.ganx4.com/soapx4.

Alternate SOAP implementation is at http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpxmlp.

8.1 XML/XSLT Publishing Engine

Krysalis is the XML/XSLT publishing engine, inspired from Cocoon but adapted to the PHP technology.

InterAKT has developed Krysalis to achieve what the next generation of web services have to offer - the complete separation of the information, application logic and presentation layer.

Krysalis is an open-source PHP development platform, based on the XML/XSLT core. It reused most of PHAkt code to create the Krysalis taglib library.

Major features are:

• Dynamic XML support.
• Dynamic PDF generation.
• Sitemap description with regular expressions.
• PXP page caching.
• Multiple transformation pipelines.
• Multiple connection types to various databases (ADODB).
