XML-RPC question - El Forum - 12-17-2008
[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
I'm using XML-RPC to access Google Maps API geocoder just with a URL and querystrings, ie no method call and am getting back succesful results from my request(seen with debugging turned on), but am getting the following error message:
---Invalid Return--- Top level XML-RPC element is missing---Invalid Return---
The xml that gets returned looks ok to me...here's a snippet:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<kml ><Response>
<name>53.2167,15.6667</name>
<Status>
<code>200</code>
<request>geocode</request>
</Status>
<Placemark id="p1">
<address>73-210, Poland</address>....The google api docs are here: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/services.html#Geocoding_Direct
Is this an API that can't be used with XML-RPC?....
Thanks in advance for any responses

<kml > should be <kml> perhaps? Had a space like that in the last XML file I wrote which caused an error, just throwing a guess in there ;-)

The extra whitespace following an open tag declaration shouldn't matter if the XML parser is worth its salt. The problem is that it doesn't conform to the XML-RPC spec, and is (rightly) considered to be an invalid response.
You should probably implement your own google service XML parser using PHP's XML parsing library.
