   When i use PHP and XML RPC it does not works

   I have enabled the XML RPC feature in WP and here is the PHP Code i used

   Can some one say how can i fix this??

   <?php
       $username = "testuser";
       $password = "itestpaass";
       $rpurl = "http://domain.com/xmlrpc.php";
       $categories = "info";
       $title = "We want a test post";
       $categories = "Test";
       $body = "This is the body of the post"
   
   function wpPostXMLRPC($title,$body,$rpcurl,$username,$password,$categories=array(1))
   {
   
       $params = array('','',$username,$password,1);
       $request = xmlrpc_encode_request('blogger.newPost',$params);
       $ch = curl_init();
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $request);
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $rpcurl);
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 1);
       curl_exec($ch);

   What sort of error gets returned? Did you look at the raw XML your script is sending to verify that it looks right?

   Have you considered using the IXR library for XML-RPC calls? It ships with WP (it is in wp-includes/class-IXR.php).

   The problem seems to be from my Host, DreamHost those Guys refuse to activate XML extension in php.ini and bluffing other things!
   Even i followed their Wiki But it did not worked for me even after following them
   But it works fine from my localhost using XAMPP

   Any alternative suggestion!
   Thanks any way! :)

   You'll need to provide more information, like what exactly the HTTP response was to the XML-RPC request.

   <?php

   function wpPostXMLRPC($title,$body,$rpcurl,$username,$password,$category,$keywords='',$encoding='UTF-8')
   {
   $title = htmlentities($title,ENT_NOQUOTES,$encoding);
   $keywords = htmlentities($keywords,ENT_NOQUOTES,$encoding);

   $content = array(
   'title'=>$title,
   'description'=>$body,
   'mt_allow_comments'=>0,
   'mt_allow_pings'=>0,
   'post_type'=>'post',
   'mt_keywords'=>$keywords,
   'categories'=>array($category)
   );

   $params = array(0,$username,$password,$content,true);
   $request = xmlrpc_encode_request('metaWeblog.newPost',$params);
   $ch = curl_init();
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $request);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $rpcurl);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 1);
   $results = curl_exec($ch);
   curl_close($ch);
   return $results;
   }

   $title = 'test';
   $body = 'test';
   $rpcurl = 'http://address/xmlrpc.php';
   $username = 'test';
   $password = 'test';
   $category = 'test';

   $chk = wpPostXMLRPC($title,$body,$rpcurl,$username,$password,$category,$keywords='',$encoding='UTF-8');

   if($chk){
   echo $chk;
   }else{
   echo 'failed';
   }

   ?>

   You should try this one..

   I prefer using a direct connection to the database with a destop script:
