Description
Legacy PHP 8.0 applications can consume and expose SOAP web services. This runtime extension supports older enterprise integrations, payment gateways, government systems, and business APIs that still use WSDL and XML-based service calls. It is dependency-only and has no separate launcher; PHP code calls SOAP classes when enabled. Remote service endpoints, credentials, XML parsing, timeouts, and certificate validation need care because SOAP traffic often carries sensitive records.
