#42190 [NEW]: Docu for xmlrpc_set_type: a few hints

From: giunta dot gaetano at gmail dot com Operating system: irrelevant PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: Docu for xmlrpc_set_type: a few hints Description: ------------ "Sets xmlrpc type, base64 or datetime, for a PHP string value" is fine, but a couple more details would be better off in the official docs than in the comments: + only valid values for $type are 'datetime' and 'base64' + when setting type to base64, the encoding process is carried out by the function, the user does not need to do the base64 encoding on its own + the type-setting process changes the string variable upon which it acts, converting it in fact (when successful) in an anonymous object + if conversion process fails, the function returns false, so it is easy to check if it worked before calling xmlrpc_encode() on the data -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42190&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42190&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42190&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42190&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42190&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42190&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42190&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42190&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42190&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42190&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42190&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42190&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42190&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42190&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42190&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42190&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42190&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42190&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42190&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42190&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42190&r=mysqlcfg
