Open Source Document Management

Hello

I'm working on developing an application for a company that uses LogicalDOC. I'm building an app that will use single-sign-on capabilities and they're wanting to be able to view a folder tree and individual docs hosted in LogicalDOC similarly to the Microsoft Word plugin.

My questions are this:

First, I've downloaded the SOAP php files from the site but it seems those have to be hosted in the same folder (or at least on the same server) as LogicalDOC. I'd like to avoid this if possible. Can I get info remotely via the API and has this been done via PHP before?

Any suggestions and advice are most welcome. Thank you in advance.

The php sources are just examples and can be hosted wherever you want,
there is no need to host them on the same server that runs logicaldoc
