In this part of my web services tutorial, I provide both a non-WSDL SOAP server and a REST Web Service Example program. The goal is to keep everything simple and easy to understand because many people are confused by both.
I decided to avoid covering WSDL (Web Service Description Language) because it is very common for these to be generated by software. I also decided to focus on just the GET method with REST because it is most commonly used.

Thanks for the web services tutorials Derek. That’s a wonderful work.
I have recently come across your tutorials and have liked them a lot!!
Which is the next tutorial coming up?
Also, can you please cover Springs, Hibernate?
Thank you 🙂 The next video will go up today. I’ll show how to make a translation web service. I also show how to use MySQL with utf-8. I’ll cover the other topics after I finish up with Android.
Nice tutorial, exposed me to web services but my question is must i use object oriented php before i can be able to create a web service.
Thank you 🙂 Whether you want to use OO PHP is up to you and what works best. OOP PHP definitely has its benefits
The issue is am currently working on converting a local payment gateway used by my organisation to handle students payment to be accessible as a web service by other organisations. What help can you render please
Sorry, but that could be a security nightmare that I couldn’t talk about.
