I've build a small web-service in PHP. I want to control the number of calls to a specific API method. I thought at first of using a text file, because it's just an integer.

I was doing everything fine, but a reference to an ASP URL rewriter that I downloaded and uninstalled a while ago still had a reference in IIS. This forum post by Waclaw Stypula (the one with the steps) helped me track this down, by accident. When I launched t...
I have a web service client application that connects to a 3rd party's web service. The 3rd party has updated their web service so now my client app fails with SOAP exceptions. Unfortunately, I can't simply update my app to work with the new web service since some of my users will still be using the old web service. So basically I'd l...
