I'm confused. Is "It's been that way since the very first release" the
reason why it won't be fixed?
I'm glad Microsoft didn't think that way otherwise I'ld still be seeing
multiple BSOD's every day.

It's been that way since the very first release, if the array contains
numeric indices only.

I confirm this bug on Debian 3.1a sarge with php4 version 4.3.10
The chr(0x00) solution also works

By the way, a quick workaround to the problem is to append a NULL byte
to the keys:
$key1 = '666' . chr(0x00);
This way the hash is returned as a correct xml-rpc response without the
NULL bytes.

Description:
------------
I've noticed that when a key of a hash begins with a digit between 1
and 9 that the resulting XML-RPC response will contain an empty key.
This array:
$result = array('666' => 'me', '007' => 'Bond');
will be returned as this which is obviously wrong:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<methodResponse>
<params>
<param>
<value>
<struct>
<member>
<name/>
<value>
<string>me</string>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>007</name>
<value>
<string>bond</string>
</value>
</member>
</struct>
</value>
</param>
</params>
</methodResponse>
Clearly the xmlrpc module has correctly detected that the result is a
hash and has therefore made a 'struct'. What it didn't do correctly for
some strange reason is treat all keys of the hash as strings (they even
really are strings - ask gettype()).
Reproduce code:
---------------
function debug_getHash($method_name, $params, $app_data) {
$key1 = '666';
$key2 = '007';
$result = array(
$key1 => 'key1 is a ' . gettype($key1),
$key2 => 'key2 is a ' . gettype($key2),
);
return $result;
}
xmlrpc_server_register_method($xmlrpc_server, 'debug.getHash',
'debug_getHash');
Expected result:
----------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<methodResponse>
<params>
<param>
<value>
<struct>
<member>
<name>666</name>
<value>
<string>key1 is a string</string>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>007</name>
<value>
<string>key2 is a string</string>
</value>
</member>
</struct>
</value>
</param>
</params>
</methodResponse>
Actual result:
--------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<methodResponse>
<params>
<param>
<value>
<struct>
<member>
<name/>
<value>
<string>key1 is a string</string>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>007</name>
<value>
<string>key2 is a string</string>
</value>
</member>
</struct>
</value>
</param>
</params>
</methodResponse>
