I've been looking around and I see a number of frameworks and

xml responses into objects or arrays.
Anyone used any of them, and if so what's your favorite time saver?
I recently used php's built-in SoapClient class. You need to
configure with --enable-soap. It was great. I couldn't believe how
easy it was:
$client = new
SoapClient("http://www.weather.gov/forecasts/xml/DWMLgen/wsdl/ndfdXML.wsdl";);
var_dump($client->__getFunctions());
var_dump($client->__getTypes());
SimpleXML can be used to parse XML responses from the Soap service.
You asked for XML/RPC though... so then use Zend
Framework's Zend_XmlRpc_Client class.
My mistake, all the services are bubbling together in my head and I'm
trying to figure out what's what.
It seems to be a fairly trivial exercise, given an WSDL file to create a
bunch of classes for accessing the interface without coding it yourself.
The only real catch is to get myself to /think/ in those terms. If I
can figure out the mental landscape, I think it all becomes fairly simple.
