Re: Re: Using XML_RPC with object oriented code

What about somehow passing the function by reference? I tested it using PHP5 (which is what i'm writing for), and it seemed to work. It may take some butchering of the XML_RPC Server code. This seems to be much cleaner than passing the function name as a string. Think it's feasible? I'll give it a shot soon.

True. This does require the use of a static function. You can, however, work around the problem. If the request is dispatched by a Singleton, as is usual, you just have to do something like: class Foo { function bar() { if (!isset($this)) {

     $obj = Foo::getSingleton();
     return $obj->bar();

} (rest of bar) } } If the request is served by an arbitrary instance, use function static variables (this is way uglier): class Foo { function realBar(...) { (...) } function bar(..., $fooInstance = null) { static $foo = null; if (!isnull(fooInstance)) {

     $foo = $fooInstance;

} else {

     $foo->bar(...);

} } } Foo::bar must be called with $fooInstance set before it can service any request. Cheers, Sérgio Norman Elton wrote:

Wouldn't this require that it be a static function? How could I access the member variables of the object instance? Norman
