Of course, fflusch($log); should be fflush($log);

I just found out that $xmlResponse really is empty.
However, connection_status() returns 0, so I assume that the script is
not interrupted by a timeout.

Why does xmlrpc_server_call_method($xmlServer, $xmlRequest, NULL) return
nothing if the call takes longer than 5 minutes and there is no
interrupt? Is there some "special" XMLRPC timeout?

Any idea?

Andreas
