Answer 1

For that you need to generate a WSDL(web service description language). WSDL is an XML format for describing network services as a set of endpoints operating on messages containing either document-oriented or procedure-oriented information.

You can use php nusoap library to generate the WSDL

http://sourceforge.net/projects/nusoap/

Any client application generate client stub from WSDL.

For the testing purpose you can use soapUI
