Webservice call from PHP – wsdl2php makes it simple
From PHP we usually do a lot of coding to create a webservice client. We use nusoap library for this purpose. But in the case of complex objects, it is very hard to create a soap client call. We need to create a class structure before invoke a wsdl call.
As a solution, you can use wsdl2php converter tool. It is a command line tool, you can provide the wsdl url as an input and it generates a php file to make the soap client call. The tool may show some error during its conversion , but in the end, you will get a PHP code which executes.

Hello!
I would like to recommend wsdl2phpgenerator(http://code.google.com/p/wsdl2phpgenerator/). It has support for PHP5.3 and can be used as a cli application or used directly in your PHP code as a code library.
Thanks a lot for this tool. It helped me again and again. Coool
Hi Sajith
I am a beginner in PHP and was looking for a tool to convert wsdl to php files.
I came across the wsdl2php and insatlled the same by following the steps mentioned at http://www.urdalen.no/wsdl2php/
As per this site, it seems the installation went well without any issue. Before thsi let me mention that I had wamp intalled in my system.
At last when I am trying to use wsdl2php in the command prompt, it says wsdl2php is not recognized as internal or external command.
I am trying to execute it as follows:
A:\wsdl2php .wsdl > .php
Here A:\ = C:\Program Files\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.0\PEAR
Is this the right place to call the command wsdl2php.

you can check out this post, it has a section about running wsdl2php on Windows:
http://itworkarounds.blogspot.com/2011/10/simple-soap-client-with-wsdl2php-using.html
wsdl2php is an executable bash script that is meant to run on Linux (the one that you are trying to run). In order to use it on Windows you have to find the wsdl2php.php file and run it from the cmd.
