[phpxmlrpc] byte[] to PHP-string conversion

[Marcel Ruff]

Hi,

i have a Java xmlrpc server which returns an array of triples
{
String key
byte[] content
String qos
}

When i call it with phpxmlrpc i get: <methodResponse> <params> <param> <value> <array> <data> <value> <array> <data> <value><string>Hello</string></value> <value><base64>MzQz</base64></value> <value><string>&lt;qos/&gt;</string></value>
</data>
</array>
</value>
</data>
</array>
</value>
</param>
</params>
</methodResponse>

Now my problem:

I can read in PHP the two strings without problem
but how can i read the binary data (encoded with base64)?

$result = $this->client->send( $rpcmsg );
$res_array = xmlrpc_decode( $result->serialize() );
$messages = array( count($res_array) ) ;
$cpt = 0 ;
foreach( $res_array as $r ){
dbgprint( "OK: [$r[0]]" );
// $r[1] from <value><base64>MTg4Mw==</base64></value>
// THIS FAILS:
dbgprint( "binary data: $r[1]" );
}

Error thrown:
----> Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in ...

But $r[1] should contain the text "Hi".

What am i missing?

Thanks
Marcel

Hi again,

changing the code to

$res = php_xmlrpc_decode( $result->value() );

// instead of
// $res = xmlrpc_decode( $result->serialize() );

resolved it (i have not investigated further to understand it),

regards
Marcel

The function xmlrpc_decode is from the php xmlrpc extension
The function php_xmlrpc_decode is from the phpxmlrpc library

Both server the same purpose, ie creating xmlrpc servers and clients in
php, but they should generally not be mixed up. As a general guideline,
the extension is much faster, but the library is more complete.

Thanks for the details.

What do you mean by 'xmlrpc extension' versus 'phpxmlrpc library'?
Isn't everything phpxmlrpc? Are there two implementations in parallel?

Thanks
Marcel

there are actually more than two.

Just to name the more common ones:
phpxmlrpc - the first one
pear xmllrpc - a fork of this one
zend xmlrpc - another one
incutio xmlrpc - yet another one
(all of the above are coded in php, so they can be used in many
environments)

php xmlrpc extension - is a php extension, so it is coded in C, has been
bundled in php iirc since version 4.3 or 4.4.
