RE: Consuming a PHP Webservice

Hi,

Good you were able to test it, that confirms it will work just fine.

In fact, I am currently using NuSoap for the server implementation. Would
you mind sharing one of your samples (VB or C# would be okay) to use it as a
starting point?

I am not so versed with web services yet.

Thank you,

Carlos Lozano
