Description:
------------
Version 1.1.0 of PEAR::XML_RPC
Looking into this, XML_RPC_Encode in RPC.php will try to traverse an object, $php_val, as a array. Something with PHP5 prevents encoding objects because they can't be traversed as an array like it does php4 objects. To get around this without touching XML_RPC code I added a toArray() method to any objects I needed to encode that returned an array presentation of my objects. It works but, obviously, the right fix would be made in XML_RPC.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
require_once 'XML/RPC.php'
class foo {
private $someAttribute = 'myValue';
}

$tmp = new foo();
// This will echo out an empty XML_RPC_Value object
// instead of one populated from $tmp
print_r(XML_RPC_Encode($tmp));
?>
