Two main approaches:

SOAP: HEAVY, uses a formal interface with info packaged as XML for delivery across HTTP; interface formats includes WSDL, XSD
REST: LIGHT, uses HTTP to define interface, including HTTP verbs (GET,POST,PUT,DELETE) + URL parsing + URL parameters

Available technologies:

SOAP: Java 6 (baked in, nice), PHP, Apache Axis2 (Java or C), gSoap, Spring's "contract first", .net (haha)
REST: Apache Axis2 (Java or C), PHP HOWTO's 1 2, PHP recess library
