Implementing and configuring Web services is often a tedious job which requires defining which functions are exposed to clients and what code implements the service functions.

This package simplifies that job for implementing XML-RPC servers by defining and calling a given class that defines all the functions that a Web service is intended to expose.

Readme Ripcord: Easy XML-RPC Client and Server for PHP 5 ============================================================================= Ripcord is a very easy to use XML-RPC library for PHP. It provides client, server and auto documentation features for XML-RPC but also SimpleRPC and simplified SOAP (1.1). It uses PHP's xmlrpc library and it needs at least PHP 5. To create a simple xmlrpc client do something like this: <?php require_once('ripcord.php'); $client = ripcord::xmlrpcClient( 'http://www.moviemeter.nl/ws' ); $score = $client->film->getScore( 'e3dee9d19a8c3af7c92f9067d2945b59', 500 ); ?> See the RipcordClientManual <http://code.google.com/p/ripcord/wiki/RipcordClientManual> for more information. To create a simple xmlrpc server do something like this: <?php require_once('ripcord.php'); class myTest { public function Foo() { return 'Bar'; } } $test = new MyTest(); $server = ripcord::server( $test ); $server->run(); ?> See the RipcordServerManual <http://code.google.com/p/ripcord/wiki/RipcordServerManual> for more information. Extending Ripcord ================= Ripcord is also very simple to extend. All functionality can be changed through dependency injection. The client by default uses the PHP Streams API to connect to a server, but can simply be reconfigured to use CURL. You can provide your own configuration or even a completely new transport method by simply injecting a new transport object into the client. Any server created with Ripcord is auto documenting by default. Simply browse to the URL of your RPC server and you will see a list of all methods including any inline documentation for that method, if you use docblock style comments, e.g.: /** * This will show up with your method description. */ function yourMethod() { } The auto documentor is again easily extended to use your own styles or extensions and you can simply inject a completely different documentor object into the server if you want. Or skip it altogether. Documentation ============= The full API documentation is included in the docs/ directory.
