Zend has posted a new press release about their latest partnership - with PayPal - to strengthen web services.

Zend Technologies, Inc., the PHP company, and creator of products and services supporting the development, deployment and management of PHP-based applications, today announced it collaborated with PayPal, a leading online payment company, to contribute updates to the open source PHP SOAP project, delivering a new version of PEAR::SOAP. PEAR::SOAP version 0.90 updated many previously known issues and vastly improved the module's WSDL and namespace support. By giving these improvements back to the PHP community, developers worldwide are better able to work with all Web Services from their PHP applications.

With the developers at PayPal being a major contributor to the PEAR::SOAP project, I can't wait to see what kind of improvements that are made...
