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