  461. <p>Quite simply it is a way for two computers to communicate over the
    462. 

  462. internet using XML. One computer, which we will call the client, sends
    463. 

  463. an XML-RPC <strong>request</strong> to another computer, which we will call the
    464. 

  464. server. Once the server receives and processes the request it will send
    465. 

  465. back a <strong>response</strong> to the client.</p>
    466. 

  466. <p>For example, using the MetaWeblog API, an XML-RPC Client (usually a
    467. 

  467. desktop publishing tool) will send a request to an XML-RPC Server
    468. 

  468. running on your site. This request might be a new weblog entry being
    469. 

  469. sent for publication, or it could be a request for an existing entry for
    470. 

  470. editing. When the XML-RPC Server receives this request it will examine
    471. 

  471. it to determine which class/method should be called to process the
    472. 

  472. request. Once processed, the server will then send back a response
    473. 

  473. message.</p>
    474.

    539. 

  539. <p>An XML-RPC request is simply the data you are sending to the XML-RPC
    540. 

  540. server. Each piece of data in a request is referred to as a request
    541. 

  541. parameter. The above example has two parameters: The URL and title of
    542. 

  542. your site. When the XML-RPC server receives your request, it will look
    543. 

  543. for parameters it requires.</p>
    544. 

  544. <p>Request parameters must be placed into an array for transportation, and
    545. 

  545. each parameter can be one of seven data types (strings, numbers, dates,
    546. 

  546. etc.). If your parameters are something other than strings you will have
    547. 

  547. to include the data type in the request array.</p>
    548. 

  548. <p>Here is an example of a simple array with three parameters:</p>
    549. 

  549. <div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$request</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="k">array</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;John&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">&#39;Doe&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">&#39;www.some-site.com&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>

    553. 

  553. <p>If you use data types other than strings, or if you have several
    554. 

  554. different data types, you will place each parameter into its own array,
    555. 

  555. with the data type in the second position:</p>

  570. <p>An XML-RPC Server acts as a traffic cop of sorts, waiting for incoming
    571. 

  571. requests and redirecting them to the appropriate functions for
    572. 

  572. processing.</p>
    573. 

  573. <p>To create your own XML-RPC server involves initializing the XML-RPC
    574. 

  574. Server class in your controller where you expect the incoming request to
    575. 

  575. appear, then setting up an array with mapping instructions so that
    576. 

  576. incoming requests can be sent to the appropriate class and method for
    577. 

  577. processing.</p>

    590. 

  590. <p>The above example contains an array specifying two method requests that
    591. 

  591. the Server allows. The allowed methods are on the left side of the
    592. 

  592. array. When either of those are received, they will be mapped to the
    593. 

  593. class and method on the right.</p>
    594. 

  594. <p>The ‘object’ key is a special key that you pass an instantiated class
    595. 

  595. object with, which is necessary when the method you are mapping to is
    596. 

  596. not part of the CodeIgniter super object.</p>
    597. 

  597. <p>In other words, if an XML-RPC Client sends a request for the new_post
    598. 

  598. method, your server will load the My_blog class and call the new_entry
    599. 

  599. function. If the request is for the update_post method, your server
    600. 

  600. will load the My_blog class and call the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">update_entry()</span></code> method.</p>
    601. 

  601. <p>The function names in the above example are arbitrary. You’ll decide
    602. 

  602. what they should be called on your server, or if you are using
    603. 

  603. standardized APIs, like the Blogger or MetaWeblog API, you’ll use their
    604. 

  604. function names.</p>
    605. 

  605. <p>There are two additional configuration keys you may make use of when
    606. 

  606. initializing the server class: debug can be set to TRUE in order to
    607. 

  607. enable debugging, and xss_clean may be set to FALSE to prevent sending
    608. 

  608. data through the Security library’s <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">xss_clean()</span></code> method.</p>

  612. <p>When the XML-RPC Server receives a request and loads the class/method
    613. 

  613. for processing, it will pass an object to that method containing the
    614. 

  614. data sent by the client.</p>
    615. 

  615. <p>Using the above example, if the new_post method is requested, the
    616. 

  616. server will expect a class to exist with this prototype:</p>
    617. 

  617. <div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">My_blog</span> <span class="k">extends</span> <span class="nx">CI_Controller</span> <span class="p">{</span>

  624. </pre></div>
    625. 

  625. </div>
    626. 

  626. <p>The $request variable is an object compiled by the Server, which
    627. 

  627. contains the data sent by the XML-RPC Client. Using this object you will
    628. 

  628. have access to the <em>request parameters</em> enabling you to process the
    629. 

  629. request. When you are done you will send a Response back to the Client.</p>
    630. 

  630. <p>Below is a real-world example, using the Blogger API. One of the methods
    631. 

  631. in the Blogger API is <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">getUserInfo()</span></code>. Using this method, an XML-RPC
    632. 

  632. Client can send the Server a username and password, in return the Server
    633. 

  633. sends back information about that particular user (nickname, user ID,

  634. email address, etc.). Here is how the processing function might look:</p>

    681. 

  681. <p>Similar to <em>Requests</em>, <em>Responses</em> must be formatted as an array.
    682. 

  682. However, unlike requests, a response is an array <strong>that contains a
    683. 

  683. single item</strong>. This item can be an array with several additional arrays,
    684. 

  684. but there can be only one primary array index. In other words, the basic
    685. 

  685. prototype is this:</p>
    686. 

  686. <div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$response</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="k">array</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;Response data&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">&#39;array&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
    687. 

  687. </pre></div>
    688. 

  688. </div>
    689. 

  689. <p>Responses, however, usually contain multiple pieces of information. In
    690. 

  690. order to accomplish this we must put the response into its own array so
    691. 

  691. that the primary array continues to contain a single piece of data.
    692. 

  692. Here’s an example showing how this might be accomplished:</p>
    693. 

  693. <div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$response</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="k">array</span><span class="p">(</span>
