1.1. Using API from PHP
PHP supports SOAP and Streamster API very well. Installing PHP on your computer is simple - download and install the Windows binaries from the PHP.net site. PHP version 5 or later is required. Some PHP versions on Windows do not have SOAP enabled by default - you can enable the SOAP extension by editing the PHP.INI file and uncommenting the extension=php_soap.dll line.
To perform a simple PHP test, create a PHP file named "test.php" and edit it in Windows Notepad. Paste the following code into it:
<?php
$api = new SoapClient ("http://127.0.0.1:8018/service.wsdl",
array('features' => SOAP_SINGLE_ELEMENT_ARRAYS));
$quote = $api -> GetQuote("EUR/USD");
echo $quote -> Last;
?>
Test the above PHP script by running "php test.php" and it should simply display the last price of EUR/USD.
To test for critical errors (for example, when Streamster is not started at all, when method parameters are invalid, etc), you can use the standard PHP exception handling.
