1 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.4.3 - unreleased
3 * fixed: compatibility with PHP 8.0 (fixes to the debugger, to the server's 'system.methodHelp' method and to the
4 PhpXmlRpc\Wrapper class)
6 * improvements to the test stack: it is now possible to run it via Docker besides Travis; avoid using _any_ external
7 server when running tests
10 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.4.2 - 2020/3/4
12 * fixed: `client->setCookie()` bug: cookie values that contain spaces are now properly encoded in a way that gets them
13 decoded back to spaces on the receiving end if the server running on php 7.4 (or does RFC-compliant cookie decoding).
14 Beforehand we were encoding spaces to '+' characters.
17 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.4.1 - 2019/7/29
19 * fixed: allow handling huge xml messages (>=10MB) (issue #71)
21 * improved: make it easier to overtake the library's usage of `error_log`
24 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.3.2 - 2019/5/27
26 * fixed: remove one php 7.2 warning when using the v3 api
28 * improved: the Travis tests are now run with all php versions from 5.6 to 7.3. We dropped tests with php 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5
31 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.3.1 - 2018/1/20
33 * fixed: error when using https in non-curl mode
35 * fixed: compatibility of tests with php 7.2
37 * fixed: html injection in sample code
39 * fixed: warnings emitted by the *legacy* server in xmlrpcs.inc
41 * fixed: encoding of php variables of type 'resource' when using xmlrpc_encode in php-compatibility mode
43 * fixed: bad html tag in sample code
45 * improved: text of error messages
48 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.3.0 - 2017/11/6
50 * fixed: compatibility with Basic/Digest/NTLM auth when using client in cURL mode (issue #58)
52 * improved: added unit tests for Basic and Digest http auth. Also improved tests suite
54 * new: allow to force usage of curl for http 1.0 calls, as well as plain socket for https calls, via the method
55 `Client::setUseCurl()`
58 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.2.2 - 2017/10/15
60 * fixed: compatibility with Lighttpd target servers when using client in cURL mode and request body size > 1024 bytes (issue #56)
63 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.2.1 - 2017/9/3
65 * fixed: compatibility with php 7.2 (issue #55)
68 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.2.0 - 2017/6/30
70 * improved: allow also DateTimeImmutable objects to be detected as a date when encoding
73 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.1.1 - 2016/10/1
75 * fixed: error in server class: undefined function php_xmlrpc_encode (only triggered when not using the compatibility
76 shim with old versions)
79 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.1.0 - 2016/6/26
81 * improved: Added support for receiving <I8> and <EX:I8> integers, sending <I8>
83 If php is compiled in 32 bit mode, and an i8 int is received from a 3rd party, and error will be emitted.
84 Integers sent from the library to 3rd parties can be encoded using the i8 tag, but default to using 'int' by default;
85 the developer will have to create values as i8 explicitly if needed.
86 The library does *not* check if an outgoing integer is too big to fit in 4 bytes and convert it to an i8 automatically.
89 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.0.1 - 2016/3/27
91 * improved: all of the API documentation has been moved out of the manual and into the source code phpdoc comments
93 * fixed: when the internal character set is set to UTF-8 and the client sends requests (or the server responses), too
94 many characters were encoded as numeric entities, whereas some, like åäö, needed not not be
96 * fixed: the 'valtyp' property of Response was not present in all cases; the ValType property had been added by error
100 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.0.0 - 2016/1/20
102 This release does away with the past and starts a transition to modern-world php.
104 Code has been heavily refactored, taking care to preserve backwards compatibility as much as possible,
105 but some breackage is to be expected.
107 The minimum required php version has been increased to 5.3, even though we strongly urge you to use
108 more recent versions.
110 PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THE NOTES BELOW to insure a smooth upgrade.
112 * new: introduction of namespaces and full OOP.
114 All php classes have been renamed and moved to separate files.
115 Class autoloading can now be done in accord with the PSR-4 standard.
116 All global variables and global functions have been removed.
117 Iterating over xmlrpc value objects is now easier thank to support for ArrayAccess and Traversable interfaces.
119 Backward compatibility is maintained via lib/xmlrpc.inc, lib/xmlrpcs.inc and lib/xmlrpc_wrappers.inc.
120 For more details, head on to doc/api_changes_v4.md
122 * changed: the default character encoding delivered from the library to your code is now utf8.
123 It can be changed at any time setting a value to PhpXmlRpc\PhpXmlRpc::$xmlrpc_internalencoding
125 * improved: the library now accepts requests/responses sent using other character sets than UTF-8/ISO-8859-1/ASCII.
126 This only works when the mbstring php extension is enabled.
128 * improved: no need to call anymore $client->setSSLVerifyHost(2) to silence a curl warning when using https
129 with recent curl builds
131 * improved: the xmlrpcval class now supports the interfaces Countable and IteratorAggregate
133 * improved: a specific option allows users to decide the version of SSL to use for https calls.
134 This is useful f.e. for the testing suite, when the server target of calls has no proper ssl certificate,
135 and the cURL extension has been compiled with GnuTLS (such as on Travis VMs)
137 * improved: the function wrap_php_function() now can be used to wrap closures (it is now a method btw)
139 * improved: all wrap_something() functions now return a closure by default instead of a function name
141 * improved: debug messages are not html-escaped any more when executing from the command line
143 * improved: the library is now tested using Travis ( https://travis-ci.org/ ).
144 Tests are executed using all php versions from 5.3 to 7.2; code-coverage information
145 is generated using php 5.6 and uploaded to both Code Coverage and Scrutinizer online services
147 * improved: phpunit is now installed via composer, not bundled anymore
149 * improved: when phpunit is used to generate code-coverage data, the code executed server-side is accounted for
151 * improved: the test suite has basic checks for the debugger and demo files
153 * improved: more tests in the test suite
155 * fixed: the server would not reset the user-set debug messages between subsequent service() calls
157 * fixed: the server would not reset previous php error handlers when an exception was thrown by user code and
158 exception_handling set to 2
160 * fixed: the server would fail to decode a request with ISO-8859-1 payload and character set declaration in the xml
163 * fixed: the client would fail to decode a response with ISO-8859-1 payload and character set declaration in the xml
166 * fixed: the function decode_xml() would not decode an xml with character set declaration in the xml prolog
168 * fixed: the client can now successfully call methods using ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8 characters in their name
170 * fixed: the debugger would fail sending a request with ISO-8859-1 payload (it missed the character set declaration).
171 It would have a hard time coping with ISO-8859-1 in other fields, such as e.g. the remote method name
173 * fixed: the debugger would generate a bad payload via the 'load method synopsis' button for signatures containing NULL
174 or undefined parameters
176 * fixed: the debugger would generate a bad payload via the 'load method synopsis' button for methods with multiple
179 * improved: the debugger is displayed using UTF-8, making it more useful to debug any kind of service
181 * improved: echo all debug messages even when there are characters in them which php deems to be in a wrong encoding;
182 previously those messages would just disappear (this is visible e.g. in the debugger)
184 * changed: debug info handling
185 - at debug level 1, the rebuilt php objects are not dumped to screen (server-side already did that)
186 - at debug level 1, curl communication info are not dumped to screen
187 - at debug level 1, the tests echo payloads of failures; at debug level 2 all payloads
189 * improved: makefiles have been replaced with a php_based pakefile
191 * improved: the source for the manual is stored in asciidoc format, which can be displayed natively by GitHub
192 with nice html formatting. Also the HTML version generated by hand and bundled in tarballs is much nicer
193 to look at than previous versions
195 * improved: all php code is now formatted according to the PSR-2 standard
198 XML-RPC for PHP version 3.0.0 - 2014/6/15
200 This release corrects all bugs that have been reported and successfully reproduced since
203 The requirements have increased to php 5.1.0 - which is still way older than what you should be running for any serious
206 It also is the first release to be installable via composer.
208 See the Changelog file or the pdf docs for a complete list of changes.
211 XML-RPC for PHP version 3.0.0 beta - 2009/09/05
213 This is the first release of the library to only support PHP 5.
214 Some legacy code has been removed, and support for features such as exceptions
215 and dateTime objects introduced.
217 The "beta" tag is meant to indicate the fact that the refactoring has been more widespread
218 than in precedent releases and that more changes are likely to be introduced with time -
219 the library is still considered to be production quality.
221 * improved: removed all usage of php functions deprecated in php 5.3, usage of assign-by-ref when creating new objects
223 * improved: add support for the <ex:nil/> tag used by the apache library, both in input and output
224 * improved: add support for dateTime objects in both in php_xmlrpc_encode and as parameter for constructor of xmlrpcval
225 * improved: add support for timestamps as parameter for constructor of xmlrpcval
226 * improved: add option 'dates_as_objects' to php_xmlrpc_decode to return dateTime objects for xmlrpc datetimes
227 * improved: add new method SetCurlOptions to xmrlpc_client to allow extra flexibility in tweaking http config, such as
228 explicitly binding to an ip address
229 * improved: add new method SetUserAgent to xmrlpc_client to to allow having different user-agent http headers
230 * improved: add a new member variable in server class to allow fine-tuning of the encoding of returned values when the
231 server is in 'phpvals' mode
232 * improved: allow servers in 'xmlrpcvals' mode to also register plain php functions by defining them in the dispatch map
234 * improved: catch exceptions thrown during execution of php functions exposed as methods by the server
235 * fixed: bad encoding if same object is encoded twice using php_xmlrpc_encode
238 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.2.2 - 2009/03/16
240 This release corrects all bugs that have been reported and sucesfully reproduced since
242 Regardless of the intimidating message about dropping PHP 4 support, it still does
243 support that ancient, broken and insecure platform.
246 * fixed: php warning when receiving 'false' in a bool value
247 * fixed: improve robustness of the debugger when parsing weird results from non-compliant servers
248 * fixed: format floating point values using the correct decimal separator even when php locale is set to one that uses
250 * fixed: use feof() to test if socket connections are to be closed instead of the number of bytes read (rare bug when
251 communicating with some servers)
252 * fixed: be more tolerant in detection of charset in http headers
253 * fixed: fix encoding of UTF8 chars outside of the BMP plane
254 * fixed: fix detection of zlib.output_compression
255 * improved: allow the add_to_map server method to add docs for single params too
256 * improved: added the possibility to wrap for exposure as xmlrpc methods plain php class methods, object methods and
260 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.2.1 - 2008/03/06
262 This release corrects all bugs that have been reported and sucesfully reproduced.
263 It is the last release of the library that will support PHP 4.
265 * fixed: work around bug in php 5.2.2 which broke support of HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA
266 * fixed: is_dir parameter of setCaCertificate() method is reversed
267 * fixed: a php warning in xmlrpc_client creator method
268 * fixed: parsing of '1e+1' as valid float
269 * fixed: allow errorlevel 3 to work when prev. error handler was a static method
270 * fixed: usage of client::setcookie() for multiple cookies in non-ssl mode
271 * improved: support for CP1252 charset is not part or the library but almost possible
272 * improved: more info when curl is enabled and debug mode is on
275 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.2 - 2007/02/25
277 This release corrects a couple of bugs and adds a few minor features.
279 * fixed: debugger errors on php installs with magic_quotes_gpc on
280 * fixed: support for https connections via proxy
281 * fixed: wrap_xmlrpc_method() generated code failed to properly encode php objects
282 * improved: slightly faster encoding of data which is internally UTF-8
283 * improved: debugger always generates a 'null' id for jsonrpc if user omits it
284 * new: debugger can take advantage of a graphical value builder
285 (it has to be downloaded separately, as part of jsxmlrpc package)
286 * new: support for the <NIL/> xmlrpc extension
287 * new: server support for the system.getCapabilities xmlrpc extension
288 * new: wrap_xmlrpc_method() accepts two new options: debug and return_on_fault
291 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.1 - 2006/08/28
293 This release corrects quite a few bugs and adds some interesting new features.
294 There is a minor security enhancement and overall speedup too.
296 It has been tested with PHP 4.0.5 up to 4.4.4 and 5.1.5.
297 Please note that 404pl1 is NOT supported, and has not been since 2.0.
299 *** PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BELOW ***
301 CHANGES THAT MIGHT AFFECT DEPLOYED APPLICATIONS:
303 The wrap_php_function and wrap_xmlrpc_method functions have been moved out of
304 the base library file xmlrpc.inc into a file of their own: xmlrpc_wrappers.inc.
305 You will have to include() / require() it in your scripts if you have been using
308 For increased security, the automatic rebuilding of php object instances out of
309 received xmlrpc structs in wrap_xmlrpc_method() has been disabled (but it can be
310 optionally reenabled).
312 The constructor of xmlrpcval() values has seen major changes, and it will not
313 throw a php warning anymore when invoked using an unknown xmlrpc type: the
314 error will only be written to php error log. Also new xmlrpcval('true', 'boolean')
315 is not supported anymore.
319 The new function php_xmlrpc_decode_xml() will take the xml representation of
320 either an xmlrpc request, response or single value and return the corresponding
321 php-xmlrpc object instance.
323 Both wrap_php_function() and wrap_xmlrpc_method() functions accept many more
324 options to fine tune their behaviour, including one to return the php code to
325 be saved and later used as standalone php script.
327 A new function wrap_xmlrpc_server() has been added, to wrap all (or some) of the
328 methods exposed by a remote xmlrpc server into a php class.
330 Lib internals have been modified to provide better support for grafting extra
331 functionality on top of it. Stay tuned for future releases of the EXTRAS package.
333 Last but not least a new file has been added: verify_compat.php, to help users
334 diagnose the level of compliance of the current php install with the library.
338 * fixed bug 1311927: client not playing nice with some proxy/firewall on ports != 80
339 * fixed bug 1334340: all ereg_ functions have been replaced with corresponding preg_
340 * fixed bug: wrong handling of 'deflate' http encoding, both server and client side
341 * fixed bug: sending compressed responses when php output compression is enabled was not working
342 * fixed bug: addarray() and addstruct() where not returning 1 when adding data to already initialized values
343 * fixed bug: non-ascii chars used in struct element names where not being encoded correctly
344 * restored compatibility with php 4.0.5 (for those poor souls still stuck on it)
345 * server->service() now returns either the payload or xmlrpcresp instance
346 * server->add_to_map() now accepts methods with no param definitions
347 * added new function: php_xmlrpc_decode_xml()
348 * added new function: wrap_xmlrpc_server()
349 * major improvements and security enhancements to wrap_php_function() and wrap_xmlrpc_method()
350 * documentation for single parameters of exposed methods can be added to the dispatch map
351 (and turned into html docs in conjunction with a future release of the extras package)
352 * full response payload is saved into xmlrpcresp object for further debugging
353 * stricter parsing of incoming xmlrpc messages: two more invalid cases are now detected
354 (double data element inside array and struct/array after scalar inside value element)
355 * debugger can now generate code that wraps a remote method into php function (works for jsonrpc, too)
356 * debugger has better support for being activated via a single GET call (for integration into other tools?)
357 * more logging of errors in a lot of situations
358 * javadoc documentation of lib files almost complete
359 * the usual amount of new testcases in the testsuite
360 * many performance tweaks and code cleanups
361 * added foundation for emulating the API of the xmlrpc extension (extras package needed)
364 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.0 - 2006/04/24
366 I'm pleased to announce XML-RPC for PHP version 2.0, final.
368 With respect to the last release candidate, this release corrects a few small
369 bugs and adds a couple of new features: more authentication options (digest and
370 ntlm for servers, ntlm for proxies, and some https custom certificates stuff);
371 all the examples have been reviewed and some demo files added,
372 including a ready-made xmlrpc proxy (useful e.g. for ajax calls, when the xmlrpc
373 client is a browser); the server logs more warning messages for incorrect situations;
374 both client and server are more tolerant of commonly-found mistakes.
375 The debugger has been upgraded to reflect the new client capabilities.
379 * fixed bug: method xmlrpcval::structmemexists($value) would not work
380 * fixed bug: wrap_xmlrpc_method would fail if invoked with a client object that
381 has return_type=phpvals
382 * fixed bug: in case of call to client::multicall without fallback and server error
383 * fixed bug: recursive serialization of xmlrpcvals loosing specified UTF8 charset
384 * fixed bug: serializing to ISO-8859-1 with php 5 would raise an error if non-ascii
385 chars where found when decoding
386 * new: client can use NTLM and Digest authentication methods for https and http 1.1
387 connections; authentication to proxy can be set to NTLM, too
388 * new: server tolerates user functions returning a single xmlrpcval object instead
390 * new: server does more checks for presence and correct return type of user
391 coded method handling functions, and logs inconsistencies to php error log
392 * new: client method SetCaCertificate($cert, $is_dir) to validate server against
393 * new: both server and client tolerate receiving 'true' and 'false' for bool values
394 (which btw are not valid according to the xmlrpc spec)
397 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.0RC3 - 2006/01/22
399 This release corrects a few bugs and adds some interesting new features.
400 It has been tested with PHP up to 4.4.2 and 5.1.2.
402 * fixed bug: server not recognizing clients that declare support for http compression
403 * fixed bug: serialization of new xmlrpcval (8, 'string') when internal encoding
405 * fixed bug: serialization of new xmlrpcval ('hello', 'int') would produce
407 * new: let the server accept 'class::method' syntax in the dispatch map
408 * new: php_xmlrpc_decode() can decode xmlrpcmessage objects
409 * new: both client and server can specify a charset to be used for serializing
410 values instead of the default 'US-ASCII+xml-entities-for-other-characters'.
411 Values allowed: ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8
412 * new: the server object can register 'plain' php functions instead of functions
413 that accept a single parameter of type xmlrpcmsg. Faster, uses less memory
414 (but comes with minor drawbacks as well, read the manual for more details)
415 * new: client::setDebug(2) can be used to have the request payload printed to
416 screen before being sent
417 * new: server::service($data) lets user parse data other than POST body, for
418 easier testing / subclassing
419 * changed: framework-generated debug messages are sent back by the server base64
420 encoded, to avoid any charset/xml compatibility problem
423 The usual refactoring of a lot of (private) methods has taken place, with new
424 parameters added to some functions.
425 Javadoc documentation has been improved a lot.
426 The HTML documentation has been shuffled around a bit, hoping to give it a more
427 logical organization.
429 The experimental support for the JSON protocol has been removed, and will be
430 packaged as a separate download with some extra very interesting stuff (human
431 readable auto-generated documentation, anyone?).
434 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.0RC2 - 2005/11/22
436 This release corrects a few bugs and adds basically one new method for better
439 * fixed two bugs that prevented xmlrpc calls to take place over https
440 * fixed two bugs that prevented proper recognition of xml character set
441 when it was declared inside the xml prologue
442 * added xmlrpc_client::setKey($key, $keypass) method, to allow using client
443 side certificates for https connections
444 * fixed bug that prevented proper serialization of string xmlrpcvals when
445 $xmlrpc_internalencoding was set to UTF-8
446 * fixed bug in xmlrpc_server::echoInput() (and marked method as deprecated)
447 * correctly set cookies/http headers into xmlrpcresp objects even when the
448 send() method call fails for some reason
449 * added a benchmark file in the testsuite directory
451 A couple of (private/protected) methods have been refactored, as well as a
452 couple of extra parameters added to some (private) functions - this has no
453 impact on the public API and should be of interest primarily to people extending
454 / subclassing the lib.
456 There is also new, PARTIAL support for the JSON-RPC protocol, implemented in
457 two files in the extras dir (more info about json-rpc at http://json-rpc.org)
460 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.0RC1 - 2005/10/03
462 I'm pleased to announce XML-RPC for PHP version 2.0, release candidate 1.
464 This release introduces so many new features it is almost impossible to list them
465 here, making the library finally on pair with, if not more advanced than, any other
466 similar offer (e.g. the PEAR XMLRPC package or the Incutio IXR library).
467 No, really, trust me.
469 The minimum supported PHP version is now 4.2 - natively - or 4.0.4pl1 - by usage of
470 a couple of compatibility classes (code taken from PEAR php_compat package).
472 The placement of files and directories in the distribution has been deeply modified,
473 in the hope of making it more clear, now that the file count has increased.
474 I hope you find it easy.
476 Support for "advanced" HTTP features such as cookies, proxies and keep-alives has
479 It is now much easier to convert between xmlrpcval objects and php values, and
480 in fact php_xmlrpc_encode and php_xmlrpc_decode are now the recommended methods
481 for all cases, except when encoding base64 data.
483 Two new (experimental) functions have been added, allowing automagic conversion
484 of a php function into an xmlrpc method to be exposed and vice-versa.
486 PHP objects can be now automatically serialized as xmlrpc struct values and
487 correctly deserialized on the other end of the transmission, provided that the
488 same class definition is present on both sides and no object members are of
491 A lot of the existing class methods have been overloaded with extra parameters
492 or new functionality, and a few added ex-novo, making usage easier than ever.
494 A complete debugger solution is included in the distribution. It needs a web server
495 to run (a freely available version of the same debugger is accessible online, it
496 can be found at http://phpxmlrpc.sourceforge.net).
498 For a more detailed list of changes, please read carefully chapter 2 of the
499 included documentation, or, even better, take a look at the source code, which
500 is commented in javadoc style quite a bit.
503 XML-RPC for PHP version 1.2 - 2005/08/14
505 This removes all use of eval(), which is a potential security problem.
506 All users are encouraged to upgrade as soon as possible.
507 As of this release we are no longer php3-compatible.
510 XML-RPC for PHP version 1.1.1 - 2005/06/30
512 This is a security vulnerability fix release.
513 All users are invited to upgrade as soon as possible.
516 XML-RPC for PHP version 1.1 - 2005/05/03
518 I'm pleased to announce XML-RPC for PHP version 1.1
519 It's taken two years to get to the this point, but here we are, finally.
521 This is a bugfix and maintenance release. No major new features have been added.
522 All known bugs have been ironed out, unless fixing would have meant breaking
524 The code has been tested with PHP 3, 4 and 5, even tough PHP 4 is the main
525 development platform (and some warnings will be emitted when running PHP5).
527 Noteworthy changes include:
529 * do not clash any more with the EPI xmlrpc extension bundled with PHP 4 and 5
530 * fixed the unicode/charset problems that have been plaguing the lib for years
531 * proper parsing of int and float values prepended with zeroes or the '+' char
532 * accept float values in exponential notation
533 * configurable http user-agent string
534 * use the same timeout on client socket reads as used for connecting
535 * more explicative error messages in xmlrpcresponse in many cases
536 * much more tolerant parsing of malformed http responses from xmlrpc servers
537 * fixed memleak that prevented the client to be used in never-ending scripts
538 * parse bigger xmlrpc messages without crashing (1MB in size or more)
539 * be tolerant to xmlrpc responses generated on public servers that add
540 javascript advertising at the end of hosted content
541 * the lib generates quite a few less PHP warnings during standard operation
543 This is the last release that will support PHP 3.
544 The next release will include better support for PHP 5 and (possibly) a slew of
547 The changelog is available at:

550 Please report bugs to the XML-RPC PHP mailing list or to the sourceforge project
551 pages at http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpxmlrpc/
554 XML-RPC for PHP version 1.0
556 I'm pleased to announce XML-RPC for PHP version 1.0 (final). It's taken
557 two years to get to the 1.0 point, but here we are, finally. The major change
