XML RPC in PHP 5

Hi Justin,

It entails looking at the source and not just going 'urgh' :)

It works on win32 in PHP 5 with a libxml base, I don't think anyone got
around to changing the config.m4 file for it yet though (so it might break
on *nix if the expat library isn't present). But it's a required extension
for PEAR, and the PEAR people aren't known for keeping quiet when PHP breaks
for them.

php.net is a 'do-ocracy', to quote Hartmut - if you play with the source and
end up offering tested, working fixes for the extension, you'll become
'suitable'.

Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] XML RPC in PHP 5

hi all,

i've been lurking here for some time without contributing to discussion or
code.

where i work, we use xmlrpc extensively, and are looking to move from
php4=>php5 over the coming year.

i'm new to C and have only read about the Zend engine's internals, but
i'm looking for an excuse to learn more about both.

so i'm willing, but i don't really know what it entails, nor whether
i'd be suitable.

if i'm not suitable, fair enough. either way, can someone point me to
some resources or send me something off list that will give more of an
idea of what this entails?

thanks

justin

Any volunteers?

Is the XML RPC extension (ext/xmlrpc) still being maintained in PHP
5?
Asking because I heard there were some bugs and I'm not sure if this
is due
to the move from PHP 4 to PHP 5. I think it's still based on Expat.

I think this is an extension in need of a maintainer. It hasn't been
touched in over a year -- and that was only to turn things from PHP 4
to PHP 5.
