How to implement WSDL service in PHP ?

Question

We are working on a website which will provide the client access to a WSDL service via SOAP mechanism.

How do i implement a WSDL service in PHP ?

What is Apache Axis2 and Apache CXF ? Does it suit my requirements ? Will it work on PHP or do i have to code it in Java ?

I was working with Zend_Soap_Server and it was very simple - just give an object to Zend's autodiscovere black box and it generates WSDL file.

Here more info about other WSDL generators: http://www.brainbell.com/tutorials/php/Creating_A_Web_Service_With_PHP_5's_SOAP_Extension.htm
