The xmlrpc interface

This experimental contribution creates an interface between an ADOdb recordset and the xmlrpc standard. The interface has 2 dependencies

• The PHP XML-RPC extension
• The xmlrpc Library.

The API exposes 3 public methods:

string rs2xmlrpcval(
       obj $recordeSet
       )

The method rs2xmlrpcval() takes an ADdb recordset and returns a string containing an xmlrpc formatted object.

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
*/

ADODBrecordset xmlrpcval2rs (
    string $xmlrpcval
    )

The method xmlrpcval2rs() takes a correctly formatted xmlrpc string and creates an ADOdb recordset object.

ADODBrecordset rs2xmlrpcstring (
    string $xmlrpcval
    )

The method rs2xmlrpcstring () has an unknown utility
