For documentation and examples regarding the array output_options, see http://xmlrpc-epi.sourceforge.net/main.php?t=php_api#output_options



In short, output_options lets you send compact xmlrpc (without all the "pretty whitespace" xmlrpc_encode adds normally), apply an own escaping table prior to sending, set the encoding, and a couple of other things (the page even says something about soap 1.1 ... I don't know details).

Note that as far as I can tell, the &#10; characters generated by PHP in the base64 fields don't appear to violate the XML-RPC standard at all.  XML-RPC messages *are* in XML format, and as such, the XML entities should be getting decoded before being passed to a base64 decoder.  So, the previously-mentioned Jakarta-based XML-RPC server appears to violate the XML spec.  i.e. There's nothing here that needs to be "fixed" in PHP.

As per documentation on xmlrpc-epi's site, this function

also can create both a methodCall and a methodResponse.



to create a methodCall:  

     xmlrpc_encode_request(null,$params);



to create a methodRequest:

      xmlrpc_encode_request("methodName",$params);

The documentation on this is abysmal.  I know this is opensource, but it has been around for quite a while now.

Binary strings (set with xmlrpc_set_type) go into a <base64>...</base64> block like you'd expect. But after every 80th character, this function inserts the XML entity "&#10;", which is a Unicode newline, as if to cause a line-wrap, which is admittedly silly.



Silly though it may be, it causes real problems for some XML-RPC servers, such as http://jakarta.apache.org/xmlrpc/ (nee Helma). Stripping out those entities with something like



$req = preg_replace('/&#10;/', '', xmlrpc_encode_request("my.method", $args));



works around the problem.

This function should be used by an XML-RPC client to create an XML payload for an XML-RPC request;



<?php

$params = "system.methodSignature";

$method = "system.methodHelp";

$request = xmlrpc_encode_request($method,$params);

echo ( $request );

?>



Produces;



<?xml version='1.0' encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>

<methodCall>

<methodName>system.methodHelp</methodName>

<params>

 <param>

  <value>

   <string>system.methodSignature</string>

  </value>

 </param>

</params>

</methodCall>



The second argument recognises the type of variable and generates the correct XML-RPC structure. See xmlrpc_encode() for more details.
