Originally bundled as part of the [phpxmlrpc/extras](https://github.com/gggeek/phpxmlrpc-extras) package. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) Any PHP version from 5.4 to 8.3 is supported. The `phpxmlrpc/phpxmlrpc` library is used as the underlying XML-RPC engine. It will get automatically pulled in for you when you install via Composer. Installation and usage ---------------------- [](#installation-and-usage) Installation: the recommended way to install this library is via usage of Composer. Just add ``` "phpxmlrpc/polyfill-xmlrpc": "^1.0.0" ``` to your Composer "require" section. Usage: once your autoload configuration is set up properly (which is normally taken care for you by Composer), you can just use in your code all the functions described at Known differences from the original extension --------------------------------------------- [](#known-differences-from-the-original-extension) ### Work in Progress! [](#work-in-progress) This library is not *fully* complete yet, but it should be good enough for most users. The main features missing are: - character set handling: at the moment only utf-8 and iso-8859-1 charset encodings are supported; iso-8859-1 as default, and utf-8 via: - using the `$encoding` argument to `xmlrpc_decode()` and `xmlrpc_decode_request()` - setting `'encoding' => 'UTF-8'` and `'escaping' => 'markup'` in the `$options` argument to `xmlrpc_encode_request` - the `xmlrpc_parse_method_descriptions` and `xmlrpc_server_register_introspection_callback` functions exist but do nothing - the `xmlrpc_encode_request` function has partial support for the `$options` argument For a detailed list of all known differences compared to the behaviour of the PHP extension, see comments at the top of file [XmlRpc.php](src/XmlRpc.php). ### Compatibility goals [](#compatibility-goals) We strive to reproduce the same behaviour as the XML-RPC extension to the best "reasonable" extent. This means that the following are *not* goals of this package: - being able to produce the same xml streams as the native extension, where "same" means byte-by-byte identical. Eg. whitespace and element indentation in the produced xml strings do differ - reproducing behaviour of the native extension which is clearly buggy Eg. the native extension will produce invalid xmlrpc requests when some specific values are passed to an `xmlrpc_encode_request` call Running tests ------------- [](#running-tests) The recommended way to run the library test suite is via the provided Docker containers. A handy shell script is available that simplifies usage of Docker. The full sequence of operations is: ``` ./tests/ci/vm.sh build ./tests/ci/vm.sh start ./tests/ci/vm.sh runtests ./tests/ci/vm.sh stop # and, once you have finished all testing related work: ./tests/ci/vm.sh cleanup ``` By default, tests are run using php 7.4 in a Container based on Ubuntu 20 Focal. You can change the version of PHP and Ubuntu in use by setting the environment variables PHP\_VERSION and UBUNTU\_VERSION before building the Container. To generate the code-coverage report, run `./tests/ci/vm.sh runcoverage` FAQ --- [](#faq) Q: is it possible to specify the precision used to serialize Double values? A: yes, by setting a positive integer value to `\PhpXmlRpc\Polyfill\XmlRpc\XmlRpc::$xmlpc_double_precision` License ------- [](#license) Use of this software is subject to the terms in the [license.txt](license.txt) file [![License](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/ef0fb5ae8a4e3bd21fafa5b1c136d252dfa9b9b610ca2123909f837fa99ba5e7/68747470733a2f2f706f7365722e707567782e6f72672f706870786d6c7270632f706f6c7966696c6c2d786d6c7270632f6c6963656e7365)](https://packagist.org/packages/phpxmlrpc/polyfill-xmlrpc)[![Latest Stable Version](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/fb2886df4a682bec83d0b0095b5620fc204684001d591bc51df4e3e02b6d5c16/68747470733a2f2f706f7365722e707567782e6f72672f706870786d6c7270632f706f6c7966696c6c2d786d6c7270632f762f737461626c65)](https://packagist.org/packages/phpxmlrpc/polyfill-xmlrpc)[![Total Downloads](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/4cf282612c8a1a9c52d14889f2c854a75873d4f2b36d1cf4abf8891d12e25f09/68747470733a2f2f706f7365722e707567782e6f72672f706870786d6c7270632f706f6c7966696c6c2d786d6c7270632f646f776e6c6f616473)](https://packagist.org/packages/phpxmlrpc/polyfill-xmlrpc) [![Build Status](https://github.com/gggeek/polyfill-xmlrpc/actions/workflows/ci.yaml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/gggeek/polyfill-xmlrpc/actions/workflows/ci.yaml)[![Code Coverage](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/d41c285859ced0b316bd21dc21a9e35ab9a040b43fbf258d7a264fe8b3bf0e63/68747470733a2f2f636f6465636f762e696f2f67682f67676765656b2f706f6c7966696c6c2d786d6c7270632f6272616e63682f6d61737465722f67726170682f62616467652e737667)](https://app.codecov.io/gh/gggeek/polyfill-xmlrpc) ### Health Score 46 — FairBetter than 92% of packages Maintenance44 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity45 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community17 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity62 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 98.8% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
