Implementation of the MetaWeblog API http://www.xmlrpc.com/metaWeblogApi in PHP.



/**

 * Skeleton file for MetaWeblog API http://www.xmlrpc.com/metaWeblogApi in PHP

 * Requires Keith Deven's XML-RPC Library http://keithdevens.com/software/xmlrpc and store it as xmlrpc.php in the same folder

 * Written by Daniel Lorch, based heavily on Keith Deven's examples on the Blogger API.

Example lifted from the standard library docs. Illustrative!



#!c:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe

require 'xmlrpc/client'

require 'pp'



server = XMLRPC::Client.new2("http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping")

result = server.call("weblogUpdates.ping", "Copenhagen.rb", "http://www.copenhagenrb.dk/")

pp result

Simple XML-RPC in PHP (using cURL)

olleolleolle (Olle Jonsson) — Fri, 15 Sep 2006 18:32:54 GMT

Ping Technorati using cURL and XMLRPC extensions.



# Using the XML-RPC extension to format the XML package

$request = xmlrpc_encode_request("weblogUpdates.ping", array("Copenhagen Ruby Brigade", "http://copenhagenrb.dk/") );



# Using the cURL extension to send it off, 

# first creating a custom header block

$header[] = "Host: rpc.technorati.com";

$header[] = "Content-type: text/xml";

$header[] = "Content-length: ".strlen($request) . "\r\n";

$header[] = $request;



$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping"); # URL to post to

curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1 ); # return into a variable

curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header ); # custom headers, see above

curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'POST' ); # This POST is special, and uses its specified Content-type

$result = curl_exec( $ch ); # run!

curl_close($ch); 



echo $result;

code for the client :



from xmlrpclib import ServerProxy



print ServerProxy("http://127.0.0.1:9955").get_file()

code for the server :



import SimpleXMLRPCServer



def get_file():

    return "content"



server = SimpleXMLRPCServer.SimpleXMLRPCServer(("127.0.0.1", 9955))

server.register_function(get_file)

server.serve_forever()
