I'm going to assume that you are using the built-in SOAP library (as
opposed to PEAR or nuSOAP). I'm also going to assume PHP5 and an
object-oriented approach.
To instantiate a new SOAP client:
$client = new SoapClient(null, $args);
The null indicates that there is no WSDL for this client.
The args will be something like:
$args = array(
'soap_version' => SOAP_1_1,
'location' => 'http://example.com/?WebServices',
'uri' => 'http://example.com/'
);
Then you can call the methods as:
$client->SomeMethodName(array('param1', 'param2'));
Don't forget to set try-catch blocks to handle exceptions.
