[PHP] Re: [PEAR] PHP5 and XML-RPC

[Jough P]

Hi There!  Thanks for your reply!  Sorry it's taken awhile to respond.
Anyhow, I changed my code to the following:
require_once 'XML/RPC.php';
$client = new XML_RPC_Client('/xmlrpc.php', 'localhost');
$msg = new XML_RPC_Message('system.load');
$result = $client->send($msg);
if($result->faultCode())
{
   // we have an error
   echo "Error Code: " . $result->faultCode() . "<BR>";
   echo "Error String: " . $result->faultString() . "<BR>";
}
else
{
   // no error, you should get some decoded value out
   print XML_RPC_decode($result->value());
}
print XML_RPC_decode($result->value());
And I get the following:
Error Code: 1
Error String: Unknown method
Fatal error: Call to a member function kindOf() on a non-object in 
/usr/local/php5/lib/php/XML/RPC.php on line 1083

It seems to say that $client does not have a send method.  Surely this 
isn't the case?

Thanks!  All help is appreciated!!  I'll be much quicker to respond 
this time!

Hi Jough,
By looking at line 1083 I can see that whatever is getting passed to
XML_RPC_decode() is not a valid XML_RPC_Value object
By looking at the code, if a fault were to occur, it still tries to
printout the value of the result. Reading the PEAR XML_RPC API docs 
says
this:

"If the response's faultCode is non-zero then the value returned by 
this
method should not be used (it may not even be an object)" ...

I think this may be the problem, so get it to print the faultCode and
faultString but like this instead:
if($result->faultCode()) {
        // we have an error
        echo "Error\n"; // print the code and string here
} else {
        // no error, you should get some decoded value out
        print XML_RPC_decode($result->value());
}
// always use {} with control structures, if you don't it will bite you
in the ass eventually...
// and remember to turn on debugging to see what's going on...
hope this helps,
Justin

Subject: [PEAR] PHP5 and XML-RPC
Greetings all, I'm copying code straight out of _Advanced PHP
Programming_ and am getting the following error on a Linux/Apache/PHP5
box:
Fatal error: Call to a member function kindOf() on a non-object in
/usr/local/lib/php/XML/RPC.php on line 1083
I'm wondering if the pear XML-RPC class has any issues with PHP 5.
But, I'm just learning how to use XML-RPC and could very well be doing
something stupid.  ANY help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the code:
CLIENT:
<?php
require_once 'XML/RPC.php';
$client = new XML_RPC_Client('/xmlrpc.php', 'localhost');
$msg = new XML_RPC_Message('system.load');
$result = $client->send($msg);
if($result->faultCode())
    echo "Error\n";
print XML_RPC_decode($result->value());
?>
SERVER:
<?php
require_once 'XML/RPC/Server.php';
function system_load()
{
    $uptime = `uptime`;
    if(preg_match("/load average: ([\d.]+/", $uptime, $matches))
    {
       return new XML_RPC_Response(new XML_RPC_Value($matches[1],
'string'));
    }
}
$dispatches = array('system.load' => array('function' =>
'system_uptime'));
new XML_RPC_Server($dispatches, 1);
?>
