[ale] Semi OT - PHP question

[James Sumners]

My guess would be that you are not sending the XML RPC server XML
formed the way it wants. Try adding this line
`print('<pre>');print_r($msg);print('</pre>');` before your "$response
=" line, comment out the rest of the script, and then view the page.
You should see the XML that the XML_RPC class has built and is going
to send to your XML RPC server. The XML you have included in your
email is coming from the server, not your client (as far as I can
tell).

"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts
pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
