Question

How can I pass script execution errors to the XMLRPC response so I don’t get a Fault Exception?

Maybe I’m not setting this up right:

In the XMLRPC server I’m adding Zend_XmlRpc_Server_Fault::attachFaultException('Exception'); like this:

Zend_XmlRpc_Server_Fault::attachFaultException('Exception');
$server = new Zend_XmlRpc_Server();

But I still get a Fault Exception:

Fault Exception:\n651Failed to parse response

How can I pass the script execution errors to the response?

I’ve also tried to set this with no luck:

error_reporting(E_ALL); 
ini_set("display_errors",1);
ini_set("xmlrpc_errors",1);

Docs: http://php.net/manual/en/errorfunc.configuration.php

Example XMLRPC error when script has errors:

Fault Exception:\n651Failed to parse response

Example of when script has errors:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method

Both are from the same script error, but I need the XMLRPC to display the Fatal error message in the response instead of giving the failed to parse response.

You can use the set_error_handler() function to intercept a script error and instead throw an ErrorException:

function exception_error_handler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline ) {
    throw new ErrorException($errstr, $errno, 0, $errfile, $errline);
}

So when you call Zend_XmlRpc_Server::handle():

set_error_handler('exception_error_handler');
$server->handle();
restore_error_handler();

Edit: Example #1 from the ErrorException page is wrong. Use the version in this answer instead.
