This ext. is completely new ground-up reimplementation of XML-RPC specifically for PHP 5. It uses libxml2 and object overloading closely resembling the same thing you'd find for ext/soap: $rpc = new XMLRPC("http://pear.php.net/xmlrpc.php"); $rpc->callfunction(10, "string", 3.14, false, array(1,2,3), array('foo' => 'bar'), new XMLRPCVal(XMLRPC_DateTime, mktime()), new XMLRPCVal(XMLRPC_BASE64, "foobar")); Would call the 'callfunction' RPC call with the proper data type mapping (<int>, <string>, <double>, <boolean>, <array>, <struct>, <datetime.iso8601>, and <base64). Also note that since many XMLRPC interfaces use namespacing (i.e. 'package.info' which doesn't really map directly I plan on implementing a second parameter to the XMLRPC() constructor which allows you to specify a "prefix string": $packgerpc = XMLRPC("http://pear.php.net/xmlrpc.php", "package."); $result = $packagerpc->info("APC"); I still have to implement proper fault handling but will do that soon. Since it's a complete re-write i didn't really make an effort to have any corresponding APIs to the old ext/xmlrpc ext. If there is interest however I do think the new ext is a good offering for the standard PHP 5.1 distro (once I clean it up) -- if implementing BC procedures would be needed for that I'm not opposed to implementing them.
