[UPHPU] PHP-XML-RPC

[Smith, Jeff]

Sorry I guess I could have posted my finding on this.  I ended up using the file wrapper method.  I didn't want to use the PEAR or xmlrpc-php libraries because they both have open security issues.  Plus I needed to keep strict record of all procedure calls for SOX compliancy.

See the PEAR library and don't reinvent the wheel if you don't have to.
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.webservices.xml-rpc.php

There are two ways to access the raw post data.
1. $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA
    affected by config option always_populate_raw_post_data
    http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php
2. reading it from this file wrapper php://input
