phpxmlrpc/phpxmlrpc 4.6.0

on PHP Packagist

fixed: compatibility with php 8.1

improved: when encoding utf8 text into us-ascii xml, use character entity references for characters number 0-31 (ascii non printable characters), as we were already doing when encoding iso-8859-1 text into us-ascii xml

new: method Server::getDispatchMap(). Useful for non-child classes which want to f.e. introspect the server

new: increase flexibility in class composition by adopting a Dependency Injection (...ish) pattern: it is now possible to swap out the Logger, XMLParser and Charset classes with similar ones of your own making.
Example code:

// 1. create an instance of a custom character encoder
// $myCharsetEncoder = ...
// 2. then use it while serializing a Request:
Request::setCharsetEncoder($myCharsetEncoder);
$request->serialize($funkyCharset);

new: method XMLParser::parse() acquired a 4th argument

new: method Wrapper::wrapPhpClass allows to customize the names of the phpxmlrpc methods by stripping the original class name and accompanying namespace and replace it with a user-defined prefix, via option replace_class_name

new: Response constructor gained a 4th argument

deprecated: properties Response::hdrs, Response::_cookies, Response::raw_data. Use Response::httpResponse() instead.
That method returns an array which also holds the http response's status code - useful in case of http errors.

deprecated: method Request::createPayload. Use Request::serialize instead

deprecated: property Request::httpResponse

improved: Http::parseResponseHeaders now throws a more specific exception in case of http errors

improved: Continuous Integration is now running on Github Actions instead of Travis
