there are actually more than two.

Just to name the more common ones:
phpxmlrpc - the first one
pear xmllrpc - a fork of this one
zend xmlrpc - another one
incutio xmlrpc - yet another one
(all of the above are coded in php, so they can be used in many
environments)

php xmlrpc extension - is a php extension, so it is coded in C, has been
bundled in php iirc since version 4.3 or 4.4.
