XML-RPC is a format devised by Userland Software for achieving remote procedure call via XML. XML-RPC has its own web site, www.XmlRpc.com.
The most common implementations of XML-RPC available at the moment use HTTP as the transport. A list of implementations for other languages such as Perl and Python can be found on the www.xmlrpc.com.
This collection of PHP classes provides a framework for writing XML-RPC clients and servers in PHP.
