PHP IDE :: NuSphere Forums :: View topic - difference between basic, wsdl and proxy client

Hi!
Somebody could tell me the difference between a basic client, wsdl client and proxy client??

The code for each one is the next:

Code:

BASIC CLIENT USAGE EXAMPLE

<?php

require_once('nusoap.php');
$parameters = array('name'=>'dietrich');
$soapclient = new soapclient('http://someSOAPServer.com/hello.php');
echo $soapclient->call('hello',$parameters);

?>

WSDL CLIENT USAGE EXAMPLE

<?php

require_once('nusoap.php');
$parameters = array('dietrich');
$soapclient = new soapclient('http://someSOAPServer.com/hello.wsdl','wsdl');
echo $soapclient->call('hello',$parameters);

?>

PROXY CLIENT USAGE EXAMPLE (only works w/ wsdl)

<?php

require_once('nusoap.php');
$soapclient = new soapclient('http://someSOAPServer.com/hello.wsdl','wsdl');
$soap_proxy = $soapclient->getProxy();
echo $soap_proxy->hello('dietrich');

?>

BASIC sample is a kind of bypassing WSDL and you'd avoid it.

NON-PROXY sample makes WSDL calls each time.

PROXY sample makes WSDL call just one time - at the time when you create proxy object.

So latter is the fastest way if you need to run multiple calls with the same URI/WSDL.
