I am using Zend 1.10's XML-RPC client library to make XML-RPC requests to another server. One of the methods I have to call uses a i8 (a.k.a. ex:i8) type, i.e. extended big integer. This is supported in Zend (cf. http://framework.zend.com/apidoc/1.10/Zend_XmlRpc/Value/Zend_XmlRpc_Value_BigInteger.html). However whenever I try to make a few calls to it, I get an exception (I think before it contacts the server).
exception 'Zend_XmlRpc_Client_FaultException' with message 'Failed to parse XML-RPC request: Unknown type: i8' in /usr/local/myprog/libs/zend/library/Zend/XmlRpc/Client.php:370
Stack trace:
#0 /usr/local/myprog/client.php(102): Zend_XmlRpc_Client->call('methodCall', Array)
#1 {main}
By using getLastRequest() on the client object I can see that the XML it wants to send is this:
?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<methodCall><methodName>methodCall</methodName><params><param/><param/></params></methodCall>
It looks like Zend isn't adding the namespaces to the XML. How can I get around this? How do I make a XML-RPC method call with i8/ex:i8/BigInteger parameter?
