Introduction to PHP Web Services

Imran Ghani

Description

This book covers latest topics including RESTful, RPC, SOAP, Microservices, Webhook, WSDL and more. I've provided working examples with code throughout the book. The code and examples are in PHP, JavaScript, JSON, XML, MySQL and WSDL. Each example has screen shot output so that you could match your output with the correct output I provide.

I chose PHP to write this book because PHP is ready to develop RESTful and SOAP webservices. PHP is platform independent and widely used in developing data-driven Websites.

Preface
These days, web services technology is very important and quite convenient. I have taught web services course at the undergraduate level. While teaching web services at the undergraduate level, I realized that there is a lack of a textbook that is easy to understand for students and beginners. Indeed, there are a number of books available on this topic, but those books are more high-level books mostly written by developers for developers. They lack details and students or beginners have no choice but to spend a lot of time searching on Google to understand the basics concepts. During a single semester, it is hard for students to spend too much time on the internet. Therefore, I thought it would be useful to sit and write a book that is easy to understand for undergraduate students and beginners.
The book mainly covers RESTful, RPC, and SOAP concepts. I provide working examples with code throughout the book. The code and examples are in PHP, JavaScript, JSON, XML, MySQL, and WSDL. Each example has its associated screenshots, so that you could match your output with the correct output I provide.
The book has ten chapters that cover the latest topics including HTTP verbs, Microservices, Webhook, WSDL, and others.
I chose PHP to write this book because PHP is ready to develop RESTful and SOAP web services. PHP is platform-independent and widely used in developing data-driven websites. In addition, I worked as a PHP developer for more than five years and have good hands-on coding in this language.
I hope this book will help undergraduate students and beginners understand the state-of-the-art concepts in RESTful and SOAP web services.
