[solution][snipplet] Setting up a xmlrpc server ( pingback response )

In addition to:
[url]http://www.ramonfincken.com/120/PHP+coding/Finding+the+x-pingback++xmlrpc++url+from+any+website+…html[/url]

I needed a pingbackserver to run over here, and after weeks of searching and trying … I came across :
[url]http://www.quietearth.us/articles/2006/10/30/Coding-your-own-blog-Pingback-in-php[/url]

This url has a “framework” to set up your own pingback server, of course when you are in need of that very code you have the experience to code the rest 🙂

Thanks quietearth !!
