Hard to say unless you can provide more information. However, I suspect that you might find it far more practical to get a list of packages using REST and PEAR_REST. retrieve: http://pear.php.net/rest/c/categories.xml and then foreach($categories['c'] as $category) { retrieve http://pear.php.net/rest/c/{$category['_content']}/packagesinfo.xml } This will give you more than enough info to do what you need. Incidentally, XML-RPC will be gradually phased out over time, as it creates far more server load than is necessary. No time soon, of course :) Greg
