[2004-04-13 15:00 UTC] ivan dot longhi at rcm dot inet dot it

Description:
------------
on line 273 of script RPC.php, in global function XML_RPC_ee there is a call to $this->raiseError (outside a class). When a client pass to a server a non-int value but identified as INT the server causes a PHP fatal error (Call to a member function on a non-object in /usr/local/lib/php/XML/RPC.php on line 273).

Reproduce code:
---------------
require_once("XML/RPC.php");
$myStruct = new XML_RPC_Value("NOT_INT", "int");
$client = new XML_RPC_Client("/server.php", "localhost", 80);
$client->setDebug(1);
$msg = new XML_RPC_Message("examples.myFunc", array($myStruct));
$resp = $client->send($msg);
if($resp->faultCode()) { echo "ERROR: ".$resp->faultCode()." - ".$resp->faultString(); }
else { $xmlrpc_id = $resp->value(); echo $xmlrpc_id->serialize(); }

Expected result:
----------------
the server code is the same you provide as example in XML_RPC documentation, and server signature (referring to example) is:
$findstate_sig = array(array("string", "int"));

if in php.ini I set dipsplay_errors, then....

Actual result:
--------------

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up at the
end of next Sunday (CET) on pear.php.net.

In case this was a pear.php.net website problem, the change will show
up on the website in short time.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PEAR better.
