Hey. 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. Andi

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. -adam

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 On Fri, 11 Feb 2005 14:30:04 -0800, Andi Gutmans <andi@zend.com> wrote:

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'. - Steph ----- Original Message ----- From: "justin randell" <commmie.coder@gmail.com> To: <internals@lists.php.net> Sent: Saturday, February 12, 2005 8:19 AM Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] XML RPC in PHP 5

minor correction: it's required for pear.php.net's internal code. PEAR uses XML_RPC if the xmlrpc extension is not present. Greg
