Is it a SOAP service? If so, PHP supports SOAP natively using SOAPClient (and you can create your own SOAPServers too). Depending upon your requirement, you could use simplexml_load_string() to convert an XML string into a native PHP object rather than manually parsing the text of the XML string. Can you give any more details?
