Re: How to use Vector or Hashtable from a PHP Client

[Eric BOYER]

---------------
Client :
$myArray = new xmlrpcval(
 array(
   1 => new xmlrpcval("Tom"),
   3 => new xmlrpcval("Dick"),
   5 => new xmlrpcval("Harry")
 ),
 "array");

Are you sure, this is an array and not a "struct"?
I would write an array as
 new xmlrpcval(array(
   new xmlrpcval("Tom"),
   new xmlrpcval("Dick"),
   new xmlrpcval("Harray")), "array");

my problem comes from my PHP Client.
with

$myArray = new xmlrpcval(
 array(
   1 => new xmlrpcval("Tom"),
   3 => new xmlrpcval("Dick"),
   5 => new xmlrpcval("Harry")
 ),
 "array");

you are suppose to receive an Hashtable

with

new xmlrpcval(array(
   new xmlrpcval("Tom"),
   new xmlrpcval("Dick"),
   new xmlrpcval("Harray")), "array");

You are suppose to receive a vector

executerRequeteHTTP("testVector",$myArray);

function executerRequeteHTTP($nomMethode,$args) {
 include("./config.php");
 // construction du client
 $client=new xmlrpc_client($server_path,$server_hostname,$server_port);
 $message=new xmlrpcmsg($nomMethode,$args);

Also when I work with the PHP implementation, I do something like
   $message = new xmlrpcmsg($nomMethode, array($args));

i'll try it

since the constructor of xmlrpcmsg expects an array as the parameter
list. If I understand the code behind the constructor, the parameter
list would be empty if the argument is null or not an array, like
you have seen in your tcpdump.
