xml rpc issue

[eluser]socs[/eluser]
I'm new to using XML RPC and trying to get it to work but seems the response is not in an XML format.

Here's my code and when my client calls my server I get the following response below...

Code:

function getTest($request)
    {    
         $parameters = $request->output_parameters();

        $site     = 0; //US
        $per_page = 20; // limit
        $cur_page = 0;

        $adslist = array();
        $this->db->where('siteid', $site);
        $query = $this->db->get('ad', $per_page, $cur_page);  
            
        $count = 0;
        $arraymap = array();  
        foreach($query->result() as $row){        

            $arraymap[$count] = array(  
                                  array(  
                    'title'=> array($row->title,'string'),    //TODO cdata and html strip  
                    'id'=> array($row->id,'string'),    
                    'price'=> array($row->price,'string'),
    
                  ),'struct');              


              $count = $count + 1;

        }

        $response = array(
                          array('total'     => array($count,'string'),
                                'category'  => array($category, 'string'),
                                'items'     => array($arraymap, 'array'),
                                ),
                         'struct');  


        return $this->xmlrpc->send_response($response);

    }

And here's the response. Shouldn't this be in xml format ?

What URL are you using to access the XML-RPC function?

[eluser]socs[/eluser]
I'm calling the server for my api url with the method name in the rpc request set to 'GetTest'.

Code:

function index()
    {
        $this->load->library('xmlrpc');        
        $this->load->library('xmlrpcs');
          
        $config['functions']['GetTest'] = array('function' => 'Api.getTest');
                
        $this->xmlrpcs->initialize($config);  
        $this->xmlrpcs->serve();
    }

I'm going to guess and say that you're hitting "/index.php/Api/getTest", when you need to be sending an XML-RPC-formulated request to "/index.php/Api"

I'm actually calling it from an iphone/objective C app,
and looks like using an alternate tool to call it,
it is returning the correct xml.

guess obj-c is somehow reforming it into the non xml format.

Code:

obj-c code in case your interested..
    rpcCall = WSMethodInvocationCreate ((CFURLRef) rpcURL, (CFStringRef) methodName, kWSXMLRPCProtocol);    
    WSMethodInvocationSetParameters (rpcCall, (CFDictionaryRef) params, NULL);
    // set debug props
    WSMethodInvocationSetProperty(rpcCall, kWSDebugIncomingBody, kCFBooleanTrue);
    WSMethodInvocationSetProperty(rpcCall, kWSDebugIncomingHeaders, kCFBooleanTrue);
    WSMethodInvocationSetProperty(rpcCall, kWSDebugOutgoingBody, kCFBooleanTrue);
    WSMethodInvocationSetProperty(rpcCall, kWSDebugOutgoingHeaders, kCFBooleanTrue);
    
    //WSDebugInBody
    result = (NSDictionary *) (WSMethodInvocationInvoke (rpcCall));

        NSString* strresult = [result objectForKey:( NSString* ) kWSMethodInvocationResult ];
