Creating your own RPC-interface in PHP
April 17th, 2009
Last week I got a request to create some kind of RPC-server-client in PHP. The assignment was to create a flexible solution to allow remote updating several properties in a database. I’ve created interfaces like this before, but specifically for AJAX-calls to PHP-objects, not really for server-to-server-calls. This particular assignment also involved a PHP-client-object for other developers to implement in their website. The RPC-interface actually doesn’t really care if it’s used for real server-to-server calls or AJAX-calls. However; in this article I’ll focus on server-to-server communication, if designed well it shouldn’t take too much effort to make it AJAX-compatible.
