I'm temporarily maintaining the extension, but I will not do any feature additions. Actually, everybody is likely better off to switch to something else. Thus, I'm closing this ticket. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-08-11 13:13:03] giunta dot gaetano at sea-aeroportimilano dot it Description: ------------ when using xmlrpc_encode(), NULL php values are converted into empty xmlrpc string values, which is a pretty sensible decision. Unfortunately, when using xmlrpc_get_type() to see what type they will be converted into, 'base64' is returned, which is not very coherent. Reproduce code: --------------- var_dump(xmlrpc_get_type(null)); Expected result: ---------------- string Actual result: -------------- base64 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=38428&edit=1
