I know XML_RPC2 but the proposal was rejected. And even I read good news about it on this list, there is still no package available and no activity (new proposal...). I think that PEAR need a "easy & modern" XML/RPC package NOW (and probably an easy SOAP client too). There are two ways : - XML_RPC2, which is a biggest thing because it replaces XML/RPC - XML_RPC_Easy, which is only an little additional layer and which uses and depends on the well tested XML/RPC stuff If XML_RPC2 is available in a few days (weeks ?), I completly agree to drop my proposal. But if there are some big delays again..... PS : I can add the support of the reflection API as an additional way because IMHO it's not a perfect thing when you want to use strong function signature (string, bool, optional int...). PHP "Type Hinting" features are not enough good to do that. Regards, -- Fabien MARTY fabien.marty@free.fr
