Web service using php in linux environment

We would like to know is it possible for us to build a web serive based on php to run on apache web server in linux environment? The issue here is that on time to time basis we are inserting a mysql db. Then on windows environment the same data need to be inserted as soon as possible. Will web service be the best method here or any other suggestion?

PHP is an excellent and easy way of building a web service. You can use JSON or Soap to transport the data to and from the service.

PHP has a good addon library for SOAP called NuSoap.

Note that it's a good practice to make example php clients to test your service. It's much easier to debug the service with PHP client than with an objective-c or java client.

Database. PHP is capable of writing to a remote database so if you need write to an SQL Server on a Windows machine that should be possible.
