please tell that can we consume .net web services in php or not. if yes then please tell me how can we do it.

i am to create a web service which takes values and save it in database also it will take values and reply some data as a standard xml format.

i know how to create web service and how to use it in asp.net but don't know how to use/call it from php. thing is that i will not be writing code in php to consume but wants to know that do i need to take care of any special thing or need to do some extra code to make it available and use by php developers.

i am to create web service in .net framework 2.0
