The online docs for the creator method of the client are here: =

http://phpxmlrpc.sourceforge.net/doc-1.1/ch05s01.html#d0e322

In short, the line you need is:
$client =3D new xmlrpc_client("/tata/getSomething =

<https://toto.titi.com:8443/tata/getSomething> =

<https://toto.titi.com:8443/tata/getSomething>", "toto.titi.com =

<https://toto.titi.com:8443/tata/getSomething>", 8443 =

<https://toto.titi.com:8443/tata/getSomething>);

One thing that worries me a little bit in the java example you gave is =

that I see no trace of xmlrpc in there - of course the inputRequest =

creation is not shown, but the "method name" looks to be coded in the =

url, while in xmlrpc it is usually only part of the post body.
Are you sure you are using the xmlrpc protocol? Maybe the server just =

expects a plain xml request via post (also known as REST-style =

webservices, and not supported by phpxmlrpc lib)

To support https, the phpxmlrpc lib needs to have the curl extension =

compiled in into php. Look up the documentation about setting up php on =

your platform for that.
