Consuming a web service written in ColdFusion

[ScanX]

Hello,

I'm developping a website (in PHP of course) that requires to consume a webservice written in ColdFusion.

All I have are 3 files with an adress like this :

http://ws.somesociety.com/ctyUtils.cfc?wsdl

The files are full of what looks like XML code starting with tags like <wsdl:types> or <wsdl:message name="something"> and these are the ones I'm supposed to use to call a bunch of functions to use the web service.

I have no clue of what I have to do...I read stuff about SOAP but I dunno if it's appropriate neither which version I have to use.

I'm sorry if my question is really muddled but I'm a real newbie in using web services.

Any help or direction towards a tutorial would be really appreciated.

Thanx in advance

It does not matter what the service is written in, it just delivers to you responses yo your query/message in WSDL (an XML type format). Get yourself either the PEAR SOAP libraries or NuSOAP.
