PHP Toolkit XML Service Functions

The new Toolkit technology is based on an open source XML transport developed by IBM and Zend, which allows you to extend PHP code to access IBM i resources. The Toolkit XML service protocol, written in RPG and using an IBM_DB2 extension, is designed to work with "state full" RPG/COBOL/CL programs and APIs. This means a developer won't have to rewrite any programs just to get on the web. The demo scripts which use the new Toolkit XML service are located in the following folder: /www/zendsvr/htdocs/NewToolkit

The Compatibility Wrapper allows scripts that use PHP Toolkit for IBMi/i5 Toolkit functionality to continue to do so with requests fulfilled by the PHP Toolkit XML Service.
