I have an object esposed as web service using Zend_XmlRpc_Server whose signature is:

     /**
     * Return the spots for the date and edition provided
     *
     * @param dateTime.iso8601 $day 
     * @param string $edition two letter iso code for edition
     * @param string $type type of ads to be retrieved
     * @return boolean|array spots array or false if there is any error
     */
    public function dailyAds($day, $edition, $type);}}

When using this webservice I can call it in the following way:

{{$client = new Zend_XmlRpc_Client($endpoint);
$date = new Zend_XmlRpc_Value_DateTime(time());
$edition = 'foo';
$type = 'bar';
$client->getProxy('ads')->dailyAds($date, $edition, $type);}}

as stated here: http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/…

However when I execute the client code I obtain:

Warning: strtotime() expects parameter 1 to be string, object given in /var/ZendFramework-1.9.3/library/Zend/XmlRpc/Value/DateTime.php on line 55

Catchable fatal error: Object of class Zend_XmlRpc_Value_DateTime could not be converted to string in /var/ZendFramework-1.9.3/library/Zend/XmlRpc/Value/DateTime.php on line 57

If I call the webservice with Zend_Date::now()->get(Zend_Date::DATE_ISO8601) or directly with the timestamp the webservice works fine.

The error is triggered by Zend/XmlRpc/Value.php by the method getXmlRpcValue at line 151, which is called by Zend/XmlRpc/Client.php at line 344.

In previous versions of Zend Framework this code works fine (the old version of my app runs on 1.5.2)
