It will give an outline of certain strategies that help designers to create SOAP with PHP language. It will portray how to expand PHP Sakai and Moodle to help Web services by utilizing the PHP SOAP method. Besides, it will delineate that this utilization of Web services is a direct advancement of Web programming models, and it will exhibit how PHP can be utilized as a fast and easy development tool for creating them. The spotlight of this paper is to research the expansion of Web services to support PHP Sakai and Moodle by utilizing the PHP SOAP strategy.</p>
