Xmlrpc error

Something is going wrong server-side, and you are getting a PHP error there, not an XML-RPC error.
Please post your RPC server/controller code ... I suspect a configuration problem.

The only thing I different between your usage and mine ... in my xmlrpcs configuration, I have one additional line...

$config['object'] = $this;

I can't see that omission causing your issue. It looks like the xmlrpcs is blowing up trying to parse your first (& only) parameter ... could you post the fragment from your XML-RPC client that calls this? Thanks

All code from the user manual, CI version : 3.0rc3

PHP Code:

<?php

class Xmlrpc_client extends CI_Controller
{

 public function index()
 {
 $this->load->helper('url');
 $server_url = site_url('xmlrpc_server');

 $this->load->library('xmlrpc');

 $this->xmlrpc->server($server_url, 80);
 $this->xmlrpc->method('Greetings');

 $request = array('How is it going?');
 $this->xmlrpc->request($request);

 if ( ! $this->xmlrpc->send_request())
 {
 echo $this->xmlrpc->display_error();
 }
 else
 {
 echo '<pre>';
 print_r($this->xmlrpc->display_response());
 echo '</pre>';
 }
 }
}
?>

I think Xmlrpcs.php#237 need a patch like Xmlrpc.php#1135 (using $pname = (string) $parser; and then xh[$pname] for each reference).

Still I'm having some trouble then, is Xmlrpcs still supported and expected to work?

The POST incoming $data passed to xml_parse seems to be urlencoded, and give me a "Not well-formed (invalid token) at line 1" error, but if I insert a urldecode before parsing my <?xml version="1.0" ?> become <?xml_version="1.0" ?> (underscore added??) and the error become "Space required at line 1"

Any suggestion?

update

I was using CI-3.0rc3, using 2.1.0 work as expected.

update

The resource ID problem has been fixed on 3.0-dev, still there's a problem with this commit, http_build_query return urlencoded data.

update

Xmlrpcs should be working now on 3.0-dev
https://github.com/bcit-ci/CodeIgniter/c...0f7f6ac766

I found that I had to make one change to the systems/libraries/Xmlrpc.php file

After line 1161  ==> ($data = implode("\r\n",$lines);
inserting

Code:

$data = trim($data);

finally got the code working for me.
