xmlrpc_server_register_method

To have an xmlrpc fault response programatically generated by the server, the php function registered as method handler must return an array containing a FaultCode and a FaultString members.
function $myfunc($methodname, $vals, $extra_data)
{
...
return array('faultCode' => 666, 'faultString' => 'DOH!');
}

prototype of registered function:
function method_impl(string $method_name, array $params, array $user_data);
$method_name
the public method name, known by calling client
$params
parameters specified by calling client
$user_data
any local data, passed by `xmlrpc_server_call_method'

To register a callback to a 'static' function within the same class, consider a syntax like the following:
<code>
$callback = array (__CLASS__, "my_function_name");
xmlrpc_server_register_method($xmlrpc_server, "my_function", $callback);
</code>
Doing it this way makes it easier to rename your class later.

Remember that you can't do like Chrigu and Nate said if you want to add methods from a static class (Hence you can't create any instances of it).
A workaround is to create lambda functions calling the
methods:
// Our static handler class
static class MyHandler
{
public function getPrice($item)
{
$prices = array("apple" => 4, "orange" => 5);
return $prices[$item];
}
public function buy($item, $number)
{
$price = self::getPrice($item) * $number;
do_thing_to_sell_the_item();
return $price;
}
}
// Use reflection to get method names and parameters
$mirror = new ReflectionClass("MyHandler");
foreach ($mirror->getMethods() as $method)
{
// Create new "lambda" function for each method

// Generate argument list
$args = array();
foreach ($method->getParameters() as $param)
{
$args[] = '$'.$param->getName();
}
$args = implode(',', $args);

// Generate code
$methodname = $method->getName();
$code = "return {$real_class}::{$methodname}({$args});";

// Create function, retrieve function name
$function_name = create_function($args, $code);
// Register the function
xmlrpc_server_register_method($myserver, $methodname, $function_name);
}

In case its not completely obvious what Chrigu meant,
You can register a method inside your class by doing the following:
xml_rpc_server_register_methode($xmlrpc_server, "myClientCall", array(&$this, "handleClientCallFunc"));
where $this == the magic class $this. =)

Here is an example how to register a class methode:
xml_rpc_server_register_methode($xmlrpc_server, "foo", array(&$bar, "foo_func"));
where $bar is the instance of your class and foo_func a methode of this class. Don't forget the '&'!
hope this may be useful...
