Then we will walk through two examples, showing how to create Web Services with the PHP NuSoap toolkit and how to invoke that service, which was developed in Visual Basic 6.0. In the second example we show how to use Web Services with PHP. These examples demonstrate interoperability of Web Services (platform, operating systems and language independent).
