Load and register the autoloader [1]

require_once('/path/to/XRL/src/Autoload.php');
\fpoirotte\XRL\Autoload::register();

Create a new client configured to query the remote XML-RPC server

$client = new \fpoirotte\XRL\Client("http://xmlrpc.example.com/server");

Call a method provided by that server, like it were just any other code

// Call the remote procedure named "hello",
// with "world" as its parameter.
$result = $client->hello('world');

// $result now contains the remote procedure's result,
// as a regular PHP type (integer, string, double, array, etc.)
var_dump($result); // string(12) "hello world!"

// Methods with names that are not valid PHP identifiers
// can still be called!
var_dump($client->{'string.up'}('game over')); // string(9) "GAME OVER"

Create a new server instance

$server = new \fpoirotte\XRL\Server();

Attach some methods to that server

• You can register anonymous functions, closures, global functions, public methods on objects, etc. using the attribute access operator ->. You may even use invokable objects!

  class Simpson
  {
      private $speech = array(
          'Homer'     => 'Doh!',
          'Marge'     => 'Hmm...',
          'Bart'      => 'Aie, caramba!',
          'Lisa'      => M_PI,
          'Maggie'    => null,
      );
      private $character;
  
      public function __construct($character)
      {
          if (!array_key_exists($character, $this->speech)) {
              throw new InvalidArgumentException("Who's that?");
          }
          $this->character = $character;
      }
  
      public function __invoke()
      {
          return $this->speech[$this->character];
      }
  }
  $server->homer  = new Simpson('Homer');
  $server->marge  = new Simpson('Marge');
  $server->bart   = new Simpson('Bart');
  $server->lisa   = new Simpson('Lisa');
  $server->maggie = new Simpson('Maggie');
  

• Alternatively, you can use the array syntax [] instead. This is recommended as it avoids potential conflicts with XRL’s own attributes and it makes things easier when the method’s name is not a valid PHP identifier.

  $server['hello'] = function ($s) { return "Hello $s!"; };
  $server['string.up'] = 'strtoupper';
  

Handle incoming XML-RPC requests and publish the results

$server->handle()->publish();
