XML-RPC

I'm trying to implement an XML-RPC interface on a project i'm working on at the moment. I'm using XML-RPC for PHP by Edd Dumbill http://phpxmlrpc.sourceforge.net/.

I'm not happy with the encapsulation of the library. Despite being heavily OO there are loads of normal functions, and even worse, loads of global variables. This means unless it's included into the global scope, it just doesn't work!

Also, I was getting notice errors with PHP set to report all errors.

What library do other people use or recommend to implement XML-RPC clients and servers? Preferrably better encapsulated that don't throw any PHP errors. Oh, and is FREE.

Hmm... oh well, I presume not many people are into XML-RPC!!

Anyhoo, I tried another library:

The Incutio XML-RPC Library for PHP
http://scripts.incutio.com/xmlrpc/

For what I need to do, it seems much tighter and easier to use. Although I did have to tweak it a little to get it to work over SSL.

Right, now on to the SOAP interface :?
