Web Services Tutorial 3 SOAP & REST Tutorial

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.

    Derek, in regard to HATEOS, would it be a better practice to pass the URI of each individual student resource in the response rather than building out the href in the front end? Let me know your thoughts.

    What exactly is the uri => '..' in the SoapClient options for? When it's a non-empty string it seems to work…

    Thanks for your awesome videos. It really helps me.
    Please correct me if I'm wrong. I would build an API if I want to make my website a mobile app, I want another app to connect to my site or I just want to use frameworks like Angular to fetch data from the API instead of using PHP directly.
    Am I missing something?
    I was always afraid of API'S, but I guess it's all about returning JSON, and mostly that's it.

    I've never heard anyone pronounce 'Yakima' (ya-kee-ma) the way you did (spent most my life in Central Washington). Everyone here says "Ya-ka-ma" or "ya-ka-maw" (Sometimes "yak-uh-ma/w" even.), in my experience. Wikipedia seems to say "Ya-kee-ma" also, but I've never once heard it before today haha. Anyways this is a pointless comment, just thought it was interesting.

    i kept receiving this error: object(SoapFault)#2 (10) { ["message":protected]=> string(33) "looks like we got no XML document"….

    i solved it by going to php.ini and uncommenting the line "always_populate_raw_post_data = -1"

    make sure to restart your web-server after doing this

    Quick Tip: 
    Instead of <?php echo $student_info["first_name"] ?>
    You can put <?= $student_info["first_name"] ?>

    If anyone has any problems running the above projects watch out for your UTF settings. I copied the code from Dereks website into my editor and for some reason the default in my editor changed to UTF with BOM. This meant that some strange characters, that FF doesn't even display, were messing up my code. Anyway, the solution is to make sure that your text editor (mine is Notepad ++) is set to UTF8 without BOM.

    Hi Derek, I keep getting the following error when I run your code: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in C:wampwwwrestexamplerest_client.php on line 47
    It's to do with the foreach statement but I'm not sure what's wrong. I've copied your code from your website and the only thing I've changed is the url where I have the files in a different named folder

    I thought it might be more concise to do something like:
    ｓｔａｔｉｃ $ｓｔｕｄｅｎｔ_ｉｎｆｏ = ａｒｒａｙ(
        ａｒｒａｙ("ｆｉｒｓｔ_ｎａｍｅ" => "Ｄａｌｅ" ,  "ｌａｓｔ_ｎａｍｅ" => "Ｃｏｏｐｅｒ", …),
        ａｒｒａｙ("ｆｉｒｓｔ_ｎａｍｅ" => "Ｈａｒｒｙ", "ｌａｓｔ_ｎａｍｅ" => "Ｔｒｕｍａｎ", …),
        …
    );
    ｉｆ(ｉｎ_ａｒｒａｙ($ｉｄ, $ｓｔｕｄｅｎｔ_ｉｎｆｏ)){
        ｒｅｔｕｒｎ $ｓｔｕｄｅｎｔ_ｉｎｆｏ[$ｉｄ];
    } ｅｌｓｅ {
        ｒｅｔｕｒｎ "Ｓｔｕｄｅｎｔ ｉｄ: $ｉｄ ｎｏｔ ｆｏｕｎｄｎ";
    }

    but then you'd probably have to explain static which diverts from the video.
    Probably should have thrown in a default case though:
    ｄｅｆａｕｌｔ:
        $ｓｔｕｄｅｎｔ_ｉｎｆｏ = ａｒｒａｙ("ＮＡ" => "Ｎｏ ｓｔｕｄｅｎｔ ｅｘｉｓｔｓ ｗｉｔｈ ｔｈａｔ ｉｄ");

    In your REST sample code you just show only GET method. How about POST, PUT and DELETE they are different right?

    Ok I mostly here that the GET request is most vulnerable to attacks , specifically CSRF and POST is much safer. You are the first to say the opposite. In your opinion why is GET safer?

    nice video, I have a question if anybody can elaborate.

    Concerning the restful application. In this case, does the api.php contain the services that the client.php is calling? For instance, can the rest API can be written in java ee or another language and then be consumed by a php client?

    Derek this explanation of wsdl compares it with a traditional programming language.
