Zend Technologies is the leading provider of products and services for developing, deploying and managing business-critical PHP applications.
As part of the Zend framework, Zend has created a PHP client component that provides a lightweight layer on to the PHP 5 SOAP extension for working with StrikeIron Web services in a more convienent PHP-like manner.
Specifically, the Zend_Service_StrikeIron component provides:
- A single point for configuring your StrikeIron authentication credentials that can be used across many StrikeIron services.
- The ability to use any StrikeIron service from its WSDL without creating a PHP wrapper class, and the option of creating a wrapper for a more convenient interface.
- The ability to check current subscription information of a StrikeIron Web service subscription.
- Wrappers for three popular StrikeIron services, ZIP Code Information, US Address Verification and US Sales and Use Tax Rates.

To take advantage of this capability within Zend products, simply utilizing your StrikeIron UserID and Password within your Zend php code to access the Web services functionality.
