Web service is a way of comunication over the internet. It is  Language independent. We can call Web service from PHP by using Curl Library. For that we have to enable the Php_curl library from the php.ini file.

<?php

             // URL of the Web Service
              $url=”http://localhost/Test/Service1.asmx/Test?name=”.$_POST["fcurrency"];
             // initiate the Curl library.
              $ch = curl_init();     
             // initiate the Curl library.
             // for reference see:- (http://www.php.net/curl_setopt)
              curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
              curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
              // get the Response from the WebService
              //for reference see:- (http://www.php.net/curl_exec)
              $x=curl_exec($ch);

?>
