ID: 17732 Comment by: scott at executebusiness dot com Reported By: ramses0 at yahoo dot com Status: Closed Bug Type: XMLRPC-EPI related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.1.2 New Comment:
Can someone suggest why this is deprecated? I haven't found any reason for allow_call_time_pass_reference deprecation. Far as I can tell using byref is a good idea in programming to save cpu time when passing large vars. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-15 22:24:28] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This bug has been fixed in CVS. You can grab a snapshot of the CVS version at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/. In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-12 17:50:02] ramses0 at yahoo dot com Using the following demonstration RPC request, the function xmlrpc_decode_request (apparently) does not correctly update the passed in parameter $method_name, as described in the documentation on: http://xmlrpc-epi.sourceforge.net/main.php?t=php_api On a hunch, I tried changing the call to: xmlrpc_decode_request($xml, &$method); to use call-time pass by reference. It then worked, but call time pass by reference is depracated: Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated - argument passed by value; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of xmlrpc_decode_request(). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file. However, future versions may not support this any longer. As an aside- it appears that you cannot "swallow" the warning by doing an $results = @decode( $a, &$b )... it stil gives the "warning, depracated" message. So that is possibly another bug. I have grepped through the source trees somewhat, but couldn't find much examples of functions directly affecting their passed in values (except "sort", which is pretty complicated). Thanks- --Robert (bugreport is mirrored at the sf.net pages, but that area appears to be mildly unmaintained) <?php $request = <<< END <?xml version="1.0"?> <methodCall> <methodName>greeting</methodName> <params> <param> <value><string>Dan</string></value> </param> </params> </methodCall> END; // <? /* ** DEBUGGING INFORMATION ** */ echo "<pre>"; echo "<b>Request:</b><br>"; print_r( $request ); // decode the request $method_name = ''; $stuff = xmlrpc_decode_request( $request, $method_name ); echo "<b>Results:</b><br>"; print_r( $stuff ); echo "<b>Method:</b><br>"; print_r( $method_name ); echo "</pre>"; ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17732&edit=1
