[wsf-c-dev] PHP data service

[Nandika Jayawardana]

In PHP data service implementation,  client is  not aware of whether it 
is calling a web service based on Data Service or not. It is the data 
service written in php that differ. Java guys have the data service 
implemented as a .dbs file which is an xml  format defining the data 
service. Instead in PHP data services implementation, we provide that 
information within the PHP service script itself.

Thanks,
Nandika
