title: Access Products/Category/Attribute Info from php with Magento API
body: <p>Need to be able to pull Magento products into an external template. Need to be able to get all products data (description, title, attributes, categories, image, etc). </p>
  
  <p>And need to be able to filter by category, attribute and also search on name. </p>
  
  <p>These calls will be made from the same server that the Magento install is on. What's the best way to do this? </p>
  
  <p>Will be using php on both linux &amp; windows (2 separate sites). </p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>Have tried using the Magento API &amp; Soap to access from php but haven't been able to get that to work yet. All I get is this error every time. </p>
