It's been that way since the very first release, if the array contains
numeric indices only.

I confirm this bug on Debian 3.1a sarge with php4 version 4.3.10
The chr(0x00) solution also works

By the way, a quick workaround to the problem is to append a NULL byte
to the keys:
$key1 = '666' . chr(0x00);
This way the hash is returned as a correct xml-rpc response without the
NULL bytes.

Description:
------------
I've noticed that when a key of a hash begins with a digit between 1
and 9 that the resulting XML-RPC response will contain an empty key.
This array:
$result = array('666' => 'me', '007' => 'Bond');
will be returned as this which is obviously wrong:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<methodResponse>
<params>
<param>
<value>
<struct>
<member>
<name/>
<value>
<string>me</string>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>007</name>
<value>
<string>bond</string>
</value>
</member>
</struct>
</value>
</param>
</params>
</methodResponse>
Clearly the xmlrpc module has correctly detected that the result is a
hash and has therefore made a 'struct'. What it didn't do correctly for
some strange reason is treat all keys of the hash as strings (they even
really are strings - ask gettype()).
Reproduce code:
---------------
function debug_getHash($method_name, $params, $app_data) {
$key1 = '666';
$key2 = '007';
$result = array(
$key1 => 'key1 is a ' . gettype($key1),
$key2 => 'key2 is a ' . gettype($key2),
);
return $result;
}
xmlrpc_server_register_method($xmlrpc_server, 'debug.getHash',
'debug_getHash');
Expected result:
----------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<methodResponse>
<params>
<param>
<value>
<struct>
<member>
<name>666</name>
<value>
<string>key1 is a string</string>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>007</name>
<value>
<string>key2 is a string</string>
</value>
</member>
</struct>
</value>
</param>
</params>
</methodResponse>
Actual result:
--------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<methodResponse>
<params>
<param>
<value>
<struct>
<member>
<name/>
<value>
<string>key1 is a string</string>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>007</name>
<value>
<string>key2 is a string</string>
</value>
</member>
</struct>
</value>
</param>
</params>
</methodResponse>
