XML-RPC Library for PHP, change history

History for Keith Devens' XML-RPC Client/Server implementation:
http://www.keithdevens.com/software/xmlrpc/

.95 - initial version
.98 5/30/02
    - improved the XML parser and serializer to support attributes
      and changed how the parsers work a little.
    - Importantly, now uses the Connection: close header to avoid persistent
      connections in HTTP 1.1.
.99 6/1/02 - Fixed XML_unserialize, which was broken. Now it works in all cases!
.99b 6/1/02 - I was wrong :) Fixed one more bug in XML_unserialize
1.0 6/9/02
    - Combined all "generation" functions (XMLRPC_makeArray, XMLRPC_makeStruct, and XMLRPC_makeScalar) into
      one XMLRPC_prepare function that "does the right thing"
    - Also added a getBase64 function.
    - The only thing that's not currently easy to do is to create a base64 or boolean. That'll be fixed for 1.01.
    - Ok, fixed for 1.01 :) 6/9/02
1.02 6/9/02
    - fixed up the code a bit, removed some things that were technically wrong but still worked
      because my library is just *so* flexible, and most importantly -- **documented** it!
1.03 6/12/02
    - changed XMLRPC_getParams so that the $params returned would always be an array
      even if there was only one parameter
    - Added the functions XMLRPC_getArray and XMLRPC_getStruct to complete the set of accessor functions
    - Modified the XMLRPC_getBoolean function to cast the return value to a (bool)
    - Fixed a bug in XMLRPC_prepare where the $type wasn't reset between elements
2.0 6/12/02
    - Overhaul of code, even though it's only a few days old :)
    - Basically, it's now pretty much symmetric, where you serialize PHP data structures to send your message
      and you 'deserialize' the message when you get it back. All the XMLRPC_getWhatever's go away.
      Much nicer. I also realized you can detect the boolean type, so I added that to XMLRPC_prepare
2.0b 6/20/02
    - Very minor change in XMLRPC_request to avoid some string copying
2.0c 7/6/02
    - Very small change to count_numeric_items so it'll return zero if it's passed something that isn't an array
    - Also, so that it won't give you ugly error messages in case you break its precondition of passing it an array :)
2.1 7/12/02
    - Very small change to XMLRPC_parse to hopefully avoid some string copying by passing a reference

    - Made it possible to make an XMLRPC_request with an empty parameter list by passing either
      an empty array or NULL for the $params.
    - Made XMLRPC_getParams handle the similar case where there are no parameters passed.
      (This takes care of the receiving end as well as the sending end.)
    - Made XMLRPC_adjustValue handle the cases of an array with no elements and a struct with no members.
    Thanks to Elan for pointing these cases out.

    - Neatened up these comments a bit
2.1.1 7/15/02
    - You can now specify the port for XMLRPC_request to connect to by specifying the $site in the form
      of "www.keithdevens.com:8080". Defaults to port 80
    - in XMLRPC_request the $params now defaults to NULL, whereas previously it didn't have a default.
2.1.2 7/16/02
    - Pretty important bug fix in XMLRPC_adjustValue (where arrays of one element got "clobbered").
    Thanks again to Elan.
2.2 7/18/02
    - One more bugfix to XMLRPC_adjustValue (described here http://www.keithdevens.com/weblog/?id2439)
    - Changed the return of XMLRPC_request in the case of a connection failure from false into a structure
      that mimics an XML-RPC error so you can deal with all errors in a uniform way. This may break your code
      if you tested for a connection failure separately before.
    - Added debugging system (finally).
2.2.1 7/23/02
    - Bug fix to XMLRPC_prepare to correctly handle empty arrays and empty structs
2.2.1b 7/23/02
    - Changes to many functions to try to avoid copying data whereever possible.
2.2.1c 7/23/02
    - Ok, backed off a few of those changes. You'll have to pass things by reference yourself to functions like
      XMLRPC_response, etc. if you want to avoid copying.
2.5 9/22/02
    - Completely rewritten XML parser. It uses PHP's SAX XML interface,
      and should be *much much* faster for large XML documents.
    - Found one instance where a debugging message was always being logged (oops)
    - Added some more debugging for servers
    - Should now work without any notice messages under error_reporting(E_ALL)
2.5b 10/9/02
    - Fixed a small bug where if you tried to you could make the library generate invalid
      XML because of unescaped entities. Thanks to Wesley.
2.5c 10/27/02
    - Fixed a small bug with boolean handling. False boolean values would be printed as
      <boolean></boolean> instead of <boolean>0</boolean>. Thanks to Christian for the bug report.2.5c 10/27/02
2.5d 1/8/2004
    - Fixed a small but significant bug that should have been fixed a long time ago.
      I forgot to anchor a regular expression... very bad show.
2.5e 3/25/2004
    - Got a report that there was a problem under PHP5. It appears that the $this variable has a special meaning
      even in functions that aren't methods. I wonder if that's documented anywhere...
      Anyway, all that's new in this version is that in XMLRPC_error() I changed the name of a variable I was using
      from $this to $temp. I don't know why I named it $this in the first place.
