On his blog today, Samisa Abeysinghe points out a library that can be used to trace the SOAP messages going back and forth between your client and server - the WSO2 Web services framework for PHP.
The Web services client class, WSClient has two methods for this, getLastRequest() and getLastResponse(). After calling the request() method of the client instance, you can call any of those methods to gain access to the messages.
Simple example code is included showing how to grab that information from the client object. If you’re looking for a way to get the WSF/PHP functionality installed on your system, check out this step-by-step tutorial on using the PECL tool to create and install the packages to your PHP setup.

Helgi has posted about the updates that have recently been made to the PEAR website (pear.php.net) to help correct some issues and bring in some new features.
I just did a new release of pear.php.net which has a bunch of new features and bug fixes, most of which you can see here.
Some of the updates include:
- One column design instead of the 2 column design
- Usage of the YUI CSS reset + fonts
- The package list on http://pear.php.net/packages.php doesn’t highlight deprecated packages anymore
- Now developers can see bug reports by unconfirmed accounts
- The RSS feeds now contain new line breaks!
- Patch uploading during ticket creation now works
He also specifically mentions some of the feedback he’s gotten on certain things (like the new layout, the CSS of the site and the DES passwords) and explains some of the rationale behind their update/use.

On DevShed a new series has started (a six-part one) with This new tutorial posted today talking about the use of the Yahoo! web services in a PHP5 application.
It’s not my intention to provide you here with a fully-featured guide on how to use Yahoo!’s Web services with PHP 5, because the best place to go is simply the aforementioned Developer Network. Instead, I’ll offer to you a bunch of code samples that hopefully will assist you in the development of PHP 5 applications that will utilize some of these useful web services.
You’ll need to get an Application ID to work with before you get started (go here to sign up, you’ll also need a Yahoo! ID), but the rest of the code is provided. They make a search request to the Yahoo! backend for “madonna” and show the XML formatting of the results.
They also include examples of querying two other services offered by the company’s backend API - video search and an image search.
