[phpxmlrpc] Return Complex type

[Gaetano Giunta]

Welcome to open source :)

To create a struct xmlrpcval:

$array = array('userid' => new xmlrpcval(1, 'int'), 'username' => new xmlrpcval('pippo', 'string'));
$val = new xmlrpcval($array, 'struct');

To create an array of structs, just iterate along the same lines:

$array = array('userid' => new xmlrpcval(1, 'int'), 'username' => new xmlrpcval('pippo', 'string'));
$val1 = new xmlrpcval($array, 'struct');
$array = array('userid' => new xmlrpcval(2, 'int'), 'username' => new xmlrpcval('goofy', 'string'));
$val2 = new xmlrpcval($array, 'struct');
$val = new xmlrpcval(array($val1, $val2), 'array');

This is of course a bit tedious and overly long.

An easier option would be, provided that you already have your data i a nicely formatted array, to do this:

$php_array = array (
  array('id' => 1, 'username' => 'pippo'),
  array('id' => 2, 'username' => 'goofy')
);
$val = php_xmlrpc_encode($php_array);

The inner arrays will be conveted into structs, since they use named keys.
The outher array is 'numerically indexed' and will be converted into an xmlrpc array.

Hope it helps
