Hi All

This could be a silly question but one of the things that I struggle with
whilst developing my applications is the lack of WSDL generation in the PHP
Soap extension and the need to secure my SOAP messages using signing etc
which isn't really documented on how to do in the current extension.

I have come across http://wso2.org/projects/wsf/php and wondered if there
were plans to implement some of the more complex features into the core php
extension? Or should I really be implementing these features in PHP itself?

Look forward to any advice

Regards

Marco

Since nobody else has taken this question. I do not know a definitiv  
question on what if at all is being worked on in regards to ext/soap.  
The topic of the ws02.org implementation has been discussed/mentioned  
a few times on this list (search the archives). Just in case you are  
wondering, this stuff is based on some other libs, is developed by  
people outside of the PHP development team and was deemed to be unfit  
for inclusion into core. Other than that open a feature request ticket  
(ideally with a patch) on ext/soap to get your favorite missing  
feature covered in php core.

regards,
Lukas

Great thanks Lukas, I'll take a look at whats in /ext/soap to see where I
can offer some help.
