Today my Soap datasource has been added into the Cakephp datasources repository by Graham Weldon.
Great to see my work got accepted.
SoapSource added into the Cakephp datasources repository
SoapSource, a SOAP Client Datasource for CakePHP
Update: Fixed some stupid typo’s in the documentation.
I’ve published my SOAP Datasource on Github, you can find the sourcecode in the ‘soapsource‘ repository.
SoapSource allows you to connect with SOAP servers that support Wsdl. I also started implementing functionality for non Wsdl SOAP servers, but I don’t think I will continue on this.
SoapSource now supports non wsdl servers also, you can add ‘uri’ and ‘location’ parameters to your datasource configuration now.
In order to use the Datasource you will need to have PHP5 installed with the SOAP extension.

Installing PHP5 soap extension on Leopard 10.5.5
While working a new project of mine, SoapSource: a soap datasource for Cakephp, I wanted to make use of PHP’s SOAP extension. As I figured out quickly the default install of PHP on Mac OS X Leopard isn’t compiled with the SOAP extension enabled. So I thought; that’s easy, just recompile PHP with the SOAP extension enabled.. However I encountered some serious problems.
It appears to be impossible to compile a 64bit version of PHP on Mac OS, there’s some sort of bug with ‘libiconv’.
So next idea, recompile Apache in 32bit, Mysql in 32bit and ofcourse PHP in 32bit… well again I didn’t succeed, so I reverted all my changes back to the original settings after a day of hard work and frustrations.
