[wp-testers] wp_newCategory in xmlrpc not working properly

[grmark]

Hi all

Anyone notice the wp_newCategory method is not working properly
from xmlrpc.php file here is what args it accepts

function wp_newCategory($args) {
  $this->escape($args);

  $blog_id    =3D (int) $args[0];
  $username    =3D $args[1];
  $password    =3D $args[2];
  $category    =3D $args[3];

  if(!$this->login_pass_ok($username, $password)) {
   return($this->error);
  }

etc...


Then I make request using this code

  include ("xmlrpc.inc");
  $blogURL=3Dhttp://myblogurl.com/;
  $xmlrpc_url=3D$blogURL."xmlrpc.php";
  $client =3D new xmlrpc_client($xmlrpc_url);
  $category=3D"WordPress";
  $params=3Darray();
  $params[] =3D new xmlrpcval("n/a");
  $params[] =3D new xmlrpcval($username);=20
  $params[] =3D new xmlrpcval($password);=20
  $params[] =3D new xmlrpcval($category);
  $msg    =3D new xmlrpcmsg("wp.newCategory",$params);
  $client->accepted_compression=3Darray();
  $response =3D $client->send($msg);

it returns new catgory ID but what I get in WordPress blog is a category =
name "W"


what I do to get this method works is modify the xmlrpc function

 function wp_newCategory($args) {
  $this->escape($args);

  $blog_id    =3D (int) $args[0];
  $username    =3D $args[1];
  $password    =3D $args[2];
  $category["name"]    =3D $args[3];
  $category["slug"]    =3D $args[4];
  $category["parent_id"]    =3D $args[5];
  $category["description"]    =3D $args[6];


and make request using this code

  include ("xmlrpc.inc");
  $blogURL=3Dhttp://myblogurl.com/;
  $xmlrpc_url=3D$blogURL."xmlrpc.php";
  $client =3D new xmlrpc_client($xmlrpc_url);
  $category=3D"WordPress";
  $params=3Darray();
  $params[] =3D new xmlrpcval("n/a");
  $params[] =3D new xmlrpcval($_POST['Email']);=20
  $params[] =3D new xmlrpcval($_POST['Passwd']);=20
  $params[] =3D new xmlrpcval($category);
  $params[] =3D new xmlrpcval($cat_slug);
  $params[] =3D new xmlrpcval($parent_cat);
  $params[] =3D new xmlrpcval($category);
  $msg    =3D new xmlrpcmsg("wp.newCategory",$params);
  $client->accepted_compression=3Darray();
  $response =3D $client->send($msg);

then I get "WordPress" as new category


I may do something wrong but please someone prove that I m doing wrong
