[phpxmlrpc] Re: XML-RPC for PHP Error

[Jason Stirk]

Sam,

After my previous email, I have found a far easier way to solve your
problem.

Disable the PHP XML libraries built in -

on a *nix box, do this by going to /etc/php.d/xmlrpc.ini (or wherever
that file is on your distribution) and comment out the line to be
;extension=xmlrpc.so

That will disable the built in PHP XML-RPC functions, and so solve your
error.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Jason Stirk
