Can a Web Service also receive data, or is a "Web Service" only something that serves data? -


i'm confused terms. when make php application that

1) can called url or httprequest, parameters (i.e. country id), , returns data (xml or else)

2) can called in order store data (i.e. user wants store contacts online on server)

is still ok call thing "web service", , whole activity ranging fetching data , submitting data "web service call"?

that's absolutely web service.

if can think of web service methods analogous api calls, can call web service; cf. obligatory wikipedia reference.
