This initial set of code could be used to develop the support even more. Since the XMLRPC extension is now bundled with PHP, can we think of it as 'official' support for Web services ? My personal opinion is that it can be regarded as that, and further work can be done there. If people want to use SOAP, enable the module at compile time (or even dynamically load it) and there you go - Web services support in PHP. Is there anything wrong with this picture ?
