WSF > PHP

Most PHP systems deployed work in silos. They provide lots of useful functionality and contain lots of useful data. But it has always been a nightmare to integrate such systems with other enterprise applications. The WSO2 Web Services Framework for PHP (WSO2 WSF/PHP) allows those systems to be integrated, seamlessly, with other applications.
