Getting Started

Author: Martin Robinson

Introduction

Cascade Server's Web Services interface exposes to SOAP clients an interface for adding and editing assets. This allows repetitive or difficult tasks to be accomplished easily with any SOAP-compatible programming language. As a demonstration of these features, this guide will walk through the task of importing many database entries (from an old CMS) into Cascade Server with PHP and SOAP calls. Web Services makes this process much quicker than a manual import.

Preparation

To access Cascade Web Services with PHP you will obviously need a working PHP installation as well as an installation of Cascade Server. To use the MySQL, SOAP, and Tidy interfaces in PHP ensure that the following lines are in your php.ini file:

extension=php_mysql.dll extension=php_soap.dll extension=php_tidy.dll

On Unix-like systems ensure that the following lines are in your php.conf file:

extension=php_mysql.so extension=php_soap.so extension=php_tidy.so
