Function Documentation

mnet_keyswap()

mnet_keyswap	(		$function,
			$params )

Accepts a public key from a new remote host and returns the public key for this host.

If 'register all hosts' is turned on, it will bootstrap a record for the remote host in the mnet_host table (if it's not already there)

Parameters

string	$function	XML-RPC requires this but we don't... discard!
array	$params	Array of parameters $params[0] is the remote wwwroot $params[1] is the remote public key

Return values

string

The XML-RPC response

mnet_server_dispatch()

mnet_server_dispatch

(

$payload

)

If security checks are passed, dispatch the request to the function/method.

The config variable 'mnet_dispatcher_mode' can be: strict: Only execute functions that are in specific files off: The default - don't execute anything

Parameters

string

$payload

The XML-RPC request

Exceptions

mnet_server_exception

Return values

No	return val - just echo the response

mnet_server_dummy_method()

mnet_server_dummy_method	(		$methodname,
			$argsarray,
			$functionname )

Dummy function for the XML-RPC dispatcher - use to call a method on an object or to call a function.

Translate XML-RPC's strange function call syntax into a more straightforward PHP-friendly alternative. This dummy function will be called by the dispatcher, and can be used to call a method on an object, or just a function

The methodName argument (eg. mnet/testlib/mnet_concatenate_strings) is ignored.

Exceptions

mnet_server_exception

Parameters

string	$methodname	We discard this - see 'functionname'
array	$argsarray	Each element is an argument to the real function
string	$functionname	The name of the PHP function you want to call

Return values

mixed

The return value will be that of the real function, whatever it may be.

mnet_server_fault()

mnet_server_fault	(		$code,
			$text,
			$param = null )

Return the proper XML-RPC content to report an error in the local language.

Parameters

int	$code	The ID code of the error message
string	$text	The full string of the error message (get_string will not be called)

Return values

string\$text

The text of the error message

mnet_server_fault_xml()

mnet_server_fault_xml	(		$code,
			$text,
			$privatekey = null )

Return the proper XML-RPC content to report an error.

Parameters

Return values

string\$text

The XML text of the error message

			$methodname,
			$method,
