#38429 [NEW]: xmlrpc server returns invalid fault response on bad user code

From: giunta dot gaetano at sea-aeroportimilano dot it Operating system: windows 2000 PHP version: 5.1.4 PHP Bug Type: XMLRPC-EPI related Bug description: xmlrpc server returns invalid fault response on bad user code Description: ------------ When registering a php user function to be exposed as xmlrpc method, the resulting xml will be that of an xmlrpc fault response iff the return value of the user function is an array containing a key 'faultCode'. When the result value contains other array members beside faultCode and faultString, or the values of those two members are not an int and a string, the generated xml will not be conforming to the xmlrpc spec, which states: "A <fault> struct may not contain members other than those specified". I know that this situation is the fault of the coder, but, imho, the lib should do its reasonable best to always work within the spec... Reproduce code: --------------- $x = xmlrpc_server_create(); xmlrpc_server_register_method($x, 'pluto', 'pippo'); $out = xmlrpc_server_call_method($x, xmlrpc_encode_request('pluto', array()), null); echo htmlspecialchars($out); function pippo($meth, $params, $extras) { return array('faultCode' => 1, 'faultString' => array(1, 2, 3, 4), 'hello world'); } Actual result: -------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <methodResponse> <params> <value> <struct> <member> <name>faultCode</name> <value> <int>1</int> </value> </member> <member> <name>faultString</name> <value> <array> <data> <value> <int>1</int> </value> <value> <int>2</int> </value> <value> <int>3</int> </value> <value> <int>4</int> </value> </data> </array> </value> </member> <member> <name/> <value> <string>hello world</string> </value> </member> </struct> </value> </params> </methodResponse> -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38429&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38429&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38429&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38429&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38429&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38429&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38429&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38429&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38429&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38429&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38429&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38429&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38429&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38429&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38429&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38429&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38429&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38429&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38429&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38429&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38429&r=mysqlcfg
