NYCPHP Meetup

[Kristina Anderson]

I posted yesterday asking if anyone knew anything about using Amazon 
Web Services with PEAR::SOAP and PHP...specifically getting the 
environment configured and successfully getting responses back from 
Amazon...

PS Guys, I know I've been asking a lot of questions and haven't taken 
a lot of time to answer questions from others, but I've been swamped 
with two clients' urgent demands lately...when things clear up I 
promise to try to help, such as I can, with any questions posted.
