====== The xmlrpc interface ======
<WRAP important>
The XML-RPC interface has been **removed in ADOdb 5.21.0**. 
Please refer to [[https://github.com/ADOdb/ADOdb/issues/671|Issue #671]] for further information.

===== Description =====
This experimental contribution creates an interface between an ADOdb recordset and the xmlrpc standard. The interface has 2 dependencies
  * The PHP [[http://php.net/manual/en/book.xmlrpc.php|XML-RPC]] extension
  * The [[https://github.com/gggeek/phpxmlrpc|xmlrpc]] Library.
===== API =====
The API exposes 3 public methods:
----------
==== rs2xmlrpcval ====  
<WRAP right box>
== Syntax ==
  string rs2xmlrpcval(
         obj $recordeSet
         )
</WRAP>
The method ''rs2xmlrpcval()'' takes an ADdb recordset and returns a string containing an xmlrpc formatted object.
=== Usage ===
<code php>
include 'adodb/contrib/toxmlrpc.inc.php'
/*
* Connection assumed
*/
$sql = 'select * from orders';
$result = $db->execute($sql);

$rpc = rs2xmlrpc($result);

print $rpc;
/*
* prints the rpc object
*/
</code>
