note 24404 added to function.xmlrpc-encode

This function would be used by an XML-RPC server to convert PHP variables into an XML-RPC response. It would be used within the PHP functions defined using xmlrpc_server_register_method() Uses PHP variable reflection to assign the correct data types for the XML-RPC response. For example; <?php $params = array ( "one"=>"red","two"=>"blue","three"=>"green" ); $response = xmlrpc_encode ( $params ); echo ( $response ); ?> Produces; <?xml version='1.0' encoding="utf-8" ?> <params> <param> <value> <struct> <member> <name>one</name> <value> <string>red</string> </value> </member> <member> <name>two</name> <value> <string>blue</string> </value> </member> <member> <name>three</name> <value> <string>green</string> </value> </member> </struct> </value> </param> </params> While <?php $params = array ( "red", "blue", "green" ); $response = xmlrpc_encode ( $params ); echo ( $response ); ?> produces; <?xml version='1.0' encoding="utf-8" ?> <params> <param> <value> <array> <data> <value> <string>red</string> </value> <value> <string>blue</string> </value> <value> <string>green</string> </value> </data> </array> </value> </param> </params> And <?php $params = 1; $response = xmlrpc_encode ( $params ); echo ( $response ); ?> produces <?xml version='1.0' encoding="utf-8" ?> <params> <param> <value> <int>1</int> </value> </param> </params> It's useful to be aware of the settype() function (http://www.php.net/settype). For binary base64 data and XML-RPC iso8601 date times the xmlrpc_set_type() function should be used on a PHP variable before using xmlrpc_encode() -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.xmlrpc-encode.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+24404 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+24404 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+24404
