how to secure a connection between server and client
1. you can use htaccess authentification ( will be suported later ) 2. you can user allow/deny by htaccess example of .htaccess from my server ( folder /soap/ ) Code:
order deny,allow deny from all allow from 127.0.0.1 allow from 213.202.245.241 later i will try to put it on soap server himself |

okay little howto:
if you cannot find a extension for you destibution but you have php5 installed !!! download rpm for any linux-destibution ( example like suse ) mkdir /tmp/php-soap cd /tmp/php-soap wget ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.3/suse/i586/php5-soap-5.0.3-14.i586.rpm after it you must unpack/extrackt the rpm file: rpm2cpio php5-soap-5.0.3-14.i586.rpm | cpio -imdv after it you have folders like "usr" and "etc" in your temp folder in etc folder should be a ini file to load a soap extension if not, you can create one and move it to your php5 "conf.d" folder or add this code to your php.ini Code:
extension=soap ( or soap.so if your extension has .so name ;) ) [soap] ; Enables or disables WSDL caching feature. soap.wsdl_cache_enabled=1 ; Sets the directory name where SOAP extension will put cache files. soap.wsdl_cache_dir="/tmp" ; (time to live) Sets the number of second while cached file will be used ; instead of original one. soap.wsdl_cache_ttl=86400 move the file to your php5 extension folder restart apache and have fun with soap |

seems like a nice hack but it is too technical. if there are some sample code for possible implementation it will be better.

download a package and look at the examples folder okay modify a server to create own functions is not so easy, that is true but connects to a server to get some informations is realy easy only with 2 lines you can make a login of a user, or get last X threads from a forum 1.line (connect) $connect= new SoapClient(SERVERURL); 2.line ( get data ) $threads=$connect->getLastThreads(X); done, you have now an array "threads" which have all needed informations to display last X threads i dont think that this solution is too technical |

This is what I definitely need for joomla and vbulletin. But I am confused, where in the server.php file do I change the url, username, password, and access key??? Please explain in detail, your instructions are very vague. Thanks.

look at the examples
access key is a litte hack to make communication beween server and client a little bit secure you can setup it in vbulletin admincp the URL is the absolute URL to your soap server www.mydomain.com/forum/soap/server.php username/password are username and password from the user of your forum |
