XML RPC With The Incutio PHP Librar: A Beginner's Guide: Incutio Home Scripts Contact Manual Index

This document provides an introduction to XML-RPC and how to use the Incutio PHP Library to make and receive XML-RPC requests. XML-RPC allows different computers to execute functions remotely over the internet in a similar way to calling local PHP functions. The library makes it simple to create XML-RPC clients and servers. Examples are given of making requests to retrieve data, passing arguments, and handling errors. Creating an XML-RPC server with the library only requires mapping method names to functions.
