1 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.2.3 - 2017/11/5
3 * fixed: compatibility with Basic/Digest/NTLM auth when using client in cURL mode (issue #55)
5 * improved: added unit tests for Basic and Digest http auth
8 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.2.2 - 2017/10/15
10 * fixed: compatibility with Lighttpd target servers when using client in cURL mode and request body size > 1024 bytes (issue #56)
13 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.2.1 - 2017/9/3
15 * fixed: compatibility with php 7.2 (issue #55)
18 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.2.0 - 2017/6/30
20 * improved: allow also DateTimeImmutable objects to be detected as a date when encoding
23 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.1.1 - 2016/10/1
25 * fixed: error in server class: undefined function php_xmlrpc_encode (only triggered when not using the compatibility
26 shim with old versions)
29 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.1.0 - 2016/6/26
31 * improved: Added support for receiving <I8> and <EX:I8> integers, sending <I8>
33 If php is compiled in 32 bit mode, and an i8 int is received from a 3rd party, and error will be emitted.
34 Integers sent from the library to 3rd parties can be encoded using the i8 tag, but default to using 'int' by default;
35 the developer will have to create values as i8 explicitly if needed.
36 The library does *not* check if an outgoing integer is too big to fit in 4 bytes and convert it to an i8 automatically.
39 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.0.1 - 2016/3/27
41 * improved: all of the API documentation has been moved out of the manual and into the source code phpdoc comments
43 * fixed: when the internal character set is set to UTF-8 and the client sends requests (or the server responses), too
44 many characters were encoded as numeric entities, whereas some, like åäö, needed not not be
46 * fixed: the 'valtyp' property of Response was not present in all cases; the ValType property had been added by error
50 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.0.0 - 2016/1/20
52 This release does away with the past and starts a transition to modern-world php.
54 Code has been heavily refactored, taking care to preserve backwards compatibility as much as possible,
55 but some breackage is to be expected.
57 The minimum required php version has been increased to 5.3, even though we strongly urge you to use
60 PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THE NOTES BELOW to insure a smooth upgrade.
62 * new: introduction of namespaces and full OOP.
64 All php classes have been renamed and moved to separate files.
65 Class autoloading can now be done in accord with the PSR-4 standard.
66 All global variables and global functions have been removed.
67 Iterating over xmlrpc value objects is now easier thank to support for ArrayAccess and Traversable interfaces.
69 Backward compatibility is maintained via lib/xmlrpc.inc, lib/xmlrpcs.inc and lib/xmlrpc_wrappers.inc.
70 For more details, head on to doc/api_changes_v4.md
72 * changed: the default character encoding delivered from the library to your code is now utf8.
73 It can be changed at any time setting a value to PhpXmlRpc\PhpXmlRpc::$xmlrpc_internalencoding
75 * improved: the library now accepts requests/responses sent using other character sets than UTF-8/ISO-8859-1/ASCII.
76 This only works when the mbstring php extension is enabled.
78 * improved: no need to call anymore $client->setSSLVerifyHost(2) to silence a curl warning when using https
79 with recent curl builds
81 * improved: the xmlrpcval class now supports the interfaces Countable and IteratorAggregate
83 * improved: a specific option allows users to decide the version of SSL to use for https calls.
84 This is useful f.e. for the testing suite, when the server target of calls has no proper ssl certificate,
85 and the cURL extension has been compiled with GnuTLS (such as on Travis VMs)
87 * improved: the function wrap_php_function() now can be used to wrap closures (it is now a method btw)
89 * improved: all wrap_something() functions now return a closure by default instead of a function name
91 * improved: debug messages are not html-escaped any more when executing from the command line
93 * improved: the library is now tested using Travis ( https://travis-ci.org/ ).
94 Tests are executed using all php versions from 5.3 to 7.2; code-coverage information
95 is generated using php 5.6 and uploaded to both Code Coverage and Scrutinizer online services
97 * improved: phpunit is now installed via composer, not bundled anymore
99 * improved: when phpunit is used to generate code-coverage data, the code executed server-side is accounted for
101 * improved: the test suite has basic checks for the debugger and demo files
103 * improved: more tests in the test suite
105 * fixed: the server would not reset the user-set debug messages between subsequent service() calls
107 * fixed: the server would not reset previous php error handlers when an exception was thrown by user code and
108 exception_handling set to 2
110 * fixed: the server would fail to decode a request with ISO-8859-1 payload and character set declaration in the xml
113 * fixed: the client would fail to decode a response with ISO-8859-1 payload and character set declaration in the xml
116 * fixed: the function decode_xml() would not decode an xml with character set declaration in the xml prolog
118 * fixed: the client can now successfully call methods using ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8 characters in their name
120 * fixed: the debugger would fail sending a request with ISO-8859-1 payload (it missed the character set declaration).
121 It would have a hard time coping with ISO-8859-1 in other fields, such as e.g. the remote method name
123 * fixed: the debugger would generate a bad payload via the 'load method synopsis' button for signatures containing NULL
124 or undefined parameters
126 * fixed: the debugger would generate a bad payload via the 'load method synopsis' button for methods with multiple
129 * improved: the debugger is displayed using UTF-8, making it more useful to debug any kind of service
131 * improved: echo all debug messages even when there are characters in them which php deems to be in a wrong encoding;
132 previously those messages would just disappear (this is visible e.g. in the debugger)
134 * changed: debug info handling
135 - at debug level 1, the rebuilt php objects are not dumped to screen (server-side already did that)
136 - at debug level 1, curl communication info are not dumped to screen
137 - at debug level 1, the tests echo payloads of failures; at debug level 2 all payloads
139 * improved: makefiles have been replaced with a php_based pakefile
141 * improved: the source for the manual is stored in asciidoc format, which can be displayed natively by GitHub
142 with nice html formatting. Also the HTML version generated by hand and bundled in tarballs is much nicer
143 to look at than previous versions
145 * improved: all php code is now formatted according to the PSR-2 standard
148 XML-RPC for PHP version 3.0.0 - 2014/6/15
150 This release corrects all bugs that have been reported and successfully reproduced since
153 The requirements have increased to php 5.1.0 - which is still way older than what you should be running for any serious
156 It also is the first release to be installable via composer.
158 See the Changelog file or the pdf docs for a complete list of changes.
161 XML-RPC for PHP version 3.0.0 beta - 2009/09/05
163 This is the first release of the library to only support PHP 5.
164 Some legacy code has been removed, and support for features such as exceptions
165 and dateTime objects introduced.
167 The "beta" tag is meant to indicate the fact that the refactoring has been more widespread
168 than in precedent releases and that more changes are likely to be introduced with time -
169 the library is still considered to be production quality.
171 * improved: removed all usage of php functions deprecated in php 5.3, usage of assign-by-ref when creating new objects
173 * improved: add support for the <ex:nil/> tag used by the apache library, both in input and output
174 * improved: add support for dateTime objects in both in php_xmlrpc_encode and as parameter for constructor of xmlrpcval
175 * improved: add support for timestamps as parameter for constructor of xmlrpcval
176 * improved: add option 'dates_as_objects' to php_xmlrpc_decode to return dateTime objects for xmlrpc datetimes
177 * improved: add new method SetCurlOptions to xmrlpc_client to allow extra flexibility in tweaking http config, such as
178 explicitly binding to an ip address
179 * improved: add new method SetUserAgent to xmrlpc_client to to allow having different user-agent http headers
180 * improved: add a new member variable in server class to allow fine-tuning of the encoding of returned values when the
181 server is in 'phpvals' mode
182 * improved: allow servers in 'xmlrpcvals' mode to also register plain php functions by defining them in the dispatch map
184 * improved: catch exceptions thrown during execution of php functions exposed as methods by the server
185 * fixed: bad encoding if same object is encoded twice using php_xmlrpc_encode
188 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.2.2 - 2009/03/16
190 This release corrects all bugs that have been reported and sucesfully reproduced since
192 Regardless of the intimidating message about dropping PHP 4 support, it still does
193 support that ancient, broken and insecure platform.
196 * fixed: php warning when receiving 'false' in a bool value
197 * fixed: improve robustness of the debugger when parsing weird results from non-compliant servers
198 * fixed: format floating point values using the correct decimal separator even when php locale is set to one that uses
200 * fixed: use feof() to test if socket connections are to be closed instead of the number of bytes read (rare bug when
201 communicating with some servers)
202 * fixed: be more tolerant in detection of charset in http headers
203 * fixed: fix encoding of UTF8 chars outside of the BMP plane
204 * fixed: fix detection of zlib.output_compression
205 * improved: allow the add_to_map server method to add docs for single params too
206 * improved: added the possibility to wrap for exposure as xmlrpc methods plain php class methods, object methods and
210 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.2.1 - 2008/03/06
212 This release corrects all bugs that have been reported and sucesfully reproduced.
213 It is the last release of the library that will support PHP 4.
215 * fixed: work around bug in php 5.2.2 which broke support of HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA
216 * fixed: is_dir parameter of setCaCertificate() method is reversed
217 * fixed: a php warning in xmlrpc_client creator method
218 * fixed: parsing of '1e+1' as valid float
219 * fixed: allow errorlevel 3 to work when prev. error handler was a static method
220 * fixed: usage of client::setcookie() for multiple cookies in non-ssl mode
221 * improved: support for CP1252 charset is not part or the library but almost possible
222 * improved: more info when curl is enabled and debug mode is on
225 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.2 - 2007/02/25
227 This release corrects a couple of bugs and adds a few minor features.
229 * fixed: debugger errors on php installs with magic_quotes_gpc on
230 * fixed: support for https connections via proxy
231 * fixed: wrap_xmlrpc_method() generated code failed to properly encode php objects
232 * improved: slightly faster encoding of data which is internally UTF-8
233 * improved: debugger always generates a 'null' id for jsonrpc if user omits it
234 * new: debugger can take advantage of a graphical value builder
235 (it has to be downloaded separately, as part of jsxmlrpc package)
236 * new: support for the <NIL/> xmlrpc extension
237 * new: server support for the system.getCapabilities xmlrpc extension
238 * new: wrap_xmlrpc_method() accepts two new options: debug and return_on_fault
241 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.1 - 2006/08/28
243 This release corrects quite a few bugs and adds some interesting new features.
244 There is a minor security enhancement and overall speedup too.
246 It has been tested with PHP 4.0.5 up to 4.4.4 and 5.1.5.
247 Please note that 404pl1 is NOT supported, and has not been since 2.0.
249 *** PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BELOW ***
251 CHANGES THAT MIGHT AFFECT DEPLOYED APPLICATIONS:
253 The wrap_php_function and wrap_xmlrpc_method functions have been moved out of
254 the base library file xmlrpc.inc into a file of their own: xmlrpc_wrappers.inc.
255 You will have to include() / require() it in your scripts if you have been using
258 For increased security, the automatic rebuilding of php object instances out of
259 received xmlrpc structs in wrap_xmlrpc_method() has been disabled (but it can be
260 optionally reenabled).
262 The constructor of xmlrpcval() values has seen major changes, and it will not
263 throw a php warning anymore when invoked using an unknown xmlrpc type: the
264 error will only be written to php error log. Also new xmlrpcval('true', 'boolean')
265 is not supported anymore.
269 The new function php_xmlrpc_decode_xml() will take the xml representation of
270 either an xmlrpc request, response or single value and return the corresponding
271 php-xmlrpc object instance.
273 Both wrap_php_function() and wrap_xmlrpc_method() functions accept many more
274 options to fine tune their behaviour, including one to return the php code to
275 be saved and later used as standalone php script.
277 A new function wrap_xmlrpc_server() has been added, to wrap all (or some) of the
278 methods exposed by a remote xmlrpc server into a php class.
280 Lib internals have been modified to provide better support for grafting extra
281 functionality on top of it. Stay tuned for future releases of the EXTRAS package.
283 Last but not least a new file has been added: verify_compat.php, to help users
284 diagnose the level of compliance of the current php install with the library.
288 * fixed bug 1311927: client not playing nice with some proxy/firewall on ports != 80
289 * fixed bug 1334340: all ereg_ functions have been replaced with corresponding preg_
290 * fixed bug: wrong handling of 'deflate' http encoding, both server and client side
291 * fixed bug: sending compressed responses when php output compression is enabled was not working
292 * fixed bug: addarray() and addstruct() where not returning 1 when adding data to already initialized values
293 * fixed bug: non-ascii chars used in struct element names where not being encoded correctly
294 * restored compatibility with php 4.0.5 (for those poor souls still stuck on it)
295 * server->service() now returns either the payload or xmlrpcresp instance
296 * server->add_to_map() now accepts methods with no param definitions
297 * added new function: php_xmlrpc_decode_xml()
298 * added new function: wrap_xmlrpc_server()
299 * major improvements and security enhancements to wrap_php_function() and wrap_xmlrpc_method()
300 * documentation for single parameters of exposed methods can be added to the dispatch map
301 (and turned into html docs in conjunction with a future release of the extras package)
302 * full response payload is saved into xmlrpcresp object for further debugging
303 * stricter parsing of incoming xmlrpc messages: two more invalid cases are now detected
304 (double data element inside array and struct/array after scalar inside value element)
305 * debugger can now generate code that wraps a remote method into php function (works for jsonrpc, too)
306 * debugger has better support for being activated via a single GET call (for integration into other tools?)
307 * more logging of errors in a lot of situations
308 * javadoc documentation of lib files almost complete
309 * the usual amount of new testcases in the testsuite
310 * many performance tweaks and code cleanups
311 * added foundation for emulating the API of the xmlrpc extension (extras package needed)
314 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.0 - 2006/04/24
316 I'm pleased to announce XML-RPC for PHP version 2.0, final.
318 With respect to the last release candidate, this release corrects a few small
319 bugs and adds a couple of new features: more authentication options (digest and
320 ntlm for servers, ntlm for proxies, and some https custom certificates stuff);
321 all the examples have been reviewed and some demo files added,
322 including a ready-made xmlrpc proxy (useful e.g. for ajax calls, when the xmlrpc
323 client is a browser); the server logs more warning messages for incorrect situations;
324 both client and server are more tolerant of commonly-found mistakes.
325 The debugger has been upgraded to reflect the new client capabilities.
329 * fixed bug: method xmlrpcval::structmemexists($value) would not work
330 * fixed bug: wrap_xmlrpc_method would fail if invoked with a client object that
331 has return_type=phpvals
332 * fixed bug: in case of call to client::multicall without fallback and server error
333 * fixed bug: recursive serialization of xmlrpcvals loosing specified UTF8 charset
334 * fixed bug: serializing to ISO-8859-1 with php 5 would raise an error if non-ascii
335 chars where found when decoding
336 * new: client can use NTLM and Digest authentication methods for https and http 1.1
337 connections; authentication to proxy can be set to NTLM, too
338 * new: server tolerates user functions returning a single xmlrpcval object instead
340 * new: server does more checks for presence and correct return type of user
341 coded method handling functions, and logs inconsistencies to php error log
342 * new: client method SetCaCertificate($cert, $is_dir) to validate server against
343 * new: both server and client tolerate receiving 'true' and 'false' for bool values
344 (which btw are not valid according to the xmlrpc spec)
347 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.0RC3 - 2006/01/22
349 This release corrects a few bugs and adds some interesting new features.
350 It has been tested with PHP up to 4.4.2 and 5.1.2.
352 * fixed bug: server not recognizing clients that declare support for http compression
353 * fixed bug: serialization of new xmlrpcval (8, 'string') when internal encoding
355 * fixed bug: serialization of new xmlrpcval ('hello', 'int') would produce
357 * new: let the server accept 'class::method' syntax in the dispatch map
358 * new: php_xmlrpc_decode() can decode xmlrpcmessage objects
359 * new: both client and server can specify a charset to be used for serializing
360 values instead of the default 'US-ASCII+xml-entities-for-other-characters'.
361 Values allowed: ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8
362 * new: the server object can register 'plain' php functions instead of functions
363 that accept a single parameter of type xmlrpcmsg. Faster, uses less memory
364 (but comes with minor drawbacks as well, read the manual for more details)
365 * new: client::setDebug(2) can be used to have the request payload printed to
366 screen before being sent
367 * new: server::service($data) lets user parse data other than POST body, for
368 easier testing / subclassing
369 * changed: framework-generated debug messages are sent back by the server base64
370 encoded, to avoid any charset/xml compatibility problem
373 The usual refactoring of a lot of (private) methods has taken place, with new
374 parameters added to some functions.
375 Javadoc documentation has been improved a lot.
376 The HTML documentation has been shuffled around a bit, hoping to give it a more
377 logical organization.
379 The experimental support for the JSON protocol has been removed, and will be
380 packaged as a separate download with some extra very interesting stuff (human
381 readable auto-generated documentation, anyone?).
384 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.0RC2 - 2005/11/22
386 This release corrects a few bugs and adds basically one new method for better
389 * fixed two bugs that prevented xmlrpc calls to take place over https
390 * fixed two bugs that prevented proper recognition of xml character set
391 when it was declared inside the xml prologue
392 * added xmlrpc_client::setKey($key, $keypass) method, to allow using client
393 side certificates for https connections
394 * fixed bug that prevented proper serialization of string xmlrpcvals when
395 $xmlrpc_internalencoding was set to UTF-8
396 * fixed bug in xmlrpc_server::echoInput() (and marked method as deprecated)
397 * correctly set cookies/http headers into xmlrpcresp objects even when the
398 send() method call fails for some reason
399 * added a benchmark file in the testsuite directory
401 A couple of (private/protected) methods have been refactored, as well as a
402 couple of extra parameters added to some (private) functions - this has no
403 impact on the public API and should be of interest primarily to people extending
404 / subclassing the lib.
406 There is also new, PARTIAL support for the JSON-RPC protocol, implemented in
407 two files in the extras dir (more info about json-rpc at http://json-rpc.org)
410 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.0RC1 - 2005/10/03
412 I'm pleased to announce XML-RPC for PHP version 2.0, release candidate 1.
414 This release introduces so many new features it is almost impossible to list them
415 here, making the library finally on pair with, if not more advanced than, any other
416 similar offer (e.g. the PEAR XMLRPC package or the Incutio IXR library).
417 No, really, trust me.
419 The minimum supported PHP version is now 4.2 - natively - or 4.0.4pl1 - by usage of
420 a couple of compatibility classes (code taken from PEAR php_compat package).
422 The placement of files and directories in the distribution has been deeply modified,
423 in the hope of making it more clear, now that the file count has increased.
424 I hope you find it easy.
426 Support for "advanced" HTTP features such as cookies, proxies and keep-alives has
429 It is now much easier to convert between xmlrpcval objects and php values, and
430 in fact php_xmlrpc_encode and php_xmlrpc_decode are now the recommended methods
431 for all cases, except when encoding base64 data.
433 Two new (experimental) functions have been added, allowing automagic conversion
434 of a php function into an xmlrpc method to be exposed and vice-versa.
436 PHP objects can be now automatically serialized as xmlrpc struct values and
437 correctly deserialized on the other end of the transmission, provided that the
438 same class definition is present on both sides and no object members are of
441 A lot of the existing class methods have been overloaded with extra parameters
442 or new functionality, and a few added ex-novo, making usage easier than ever.
444 A complete debugger solution is included in the distribution. It needs a web server
445 to run (a freely available version of the same debugger is accessible online, it
446 can be found at http://phpxmlrpc.sourceforge.net).
448 For a more detailed list of changes, please read carefully chapter 2 of the
449 included documentation, or, even better, take a look at the source code, which
450 is commented in javadoc style quite a bit.
453 XML-RPC for PHP version 1.2 - 2005/08/14
455 This removes all use of eval(), which is a potential security problem.
456 All users are encouraged to upgrade as soon as possible.
457 As of this release we are no longer php3-compatible.
460 XML-RPC for PHP version 1.1.1 - 2005/06/30
462 This is a security vulnerability fix release.
463 All users are invited to upgrade as soon as possible.
466 XML-RPC for PHP version 1.1 - 2005/05/03
468 I'm pleased to announce XML-RPC for PHP version 1.1
469 It's taken two years to get to the this point, but here we are, finally.
471 This is a bugfix and maintenance release. No major new features have been added.
472 All known bugs have been ironed out, unless fixing would have meant breaking
474 The code has been tested with PHP 3, 4 and 5, even tough PHP 4 is the main
475 development platform (and some warnings will be emitted when running PHP5).
477 Noteworthy changes include:
479 * do not clash any more with the EPI xmlrpc extension bundled with PHP 4 and 5
480 * fixed the unicode/charset problems that have been plaguing the lib for years
481 * proper parsing of int and float values prepended with zeroes or the '+' char
482 * accept float values in exponential notation
483 * configurable http user-agent string
484 * use the same timeout on client socket reads as used for connecting
485 * more explicative error messages in xmlrpcresponse in many cases
486 * much more tolerant parsing of malformed http responses from xmlrpc servers
487 * fixed memleak that prevented the client to be used in never-ending scripts
488 * parse bigger xmlrpc messages without crashing (1MB in size or more)
489 * be tolerant to xmlrpc responses generated on public servers that add
490 javascript advertising at the end of hosted content
491 * the lib generates quite a few less PHP warnings during standard operation
493 This is the last release that will support PHP 3.
494 The next release will include better support for PHP 5 and (possibly) a slew of

504 XML-RPC for PHP version 1.0
506 I'm pleased to announce XML-RPC for PHP version 1.0 (final). It's taken
507 two years to get to the 1.0 point, but here we are, finally. The major change
508 is re-licensing with the BSD open source license, a move from the custom
509 license previously used.
511 After this release I expect to move the project to SourceForge and find
512 another primary maintainer for the code. More details will follow to the

583 * fixed whitespace handling in values
