How to respond to *untyped* RPC ?

[henrywood]

Could someone please provide an ultra-short example of how to respond to an UNTYPED RPC request ?

The documentation only appears to show how to do TYPED RPC ?

Let's say I have a service that takes in a string in 'fullname' member (of the associative array) and I want the service to respond with an int (the age), exactly how would the index.php look ?

This is my user.tl

---types---
messages.ageResult age:int user_id:int fullname:string = messages.AgeResult;

---functions---
messages.getAge user_id:long nameparts:%(Vector string) fullname:string silent:bool = Vector %messages.AgeResult;

This is my client.php

<?php
$host = 'localhost';
$port = 9300;


// this will be mixed[]
$query = [
        '_'        => 'messages.getAge',  // function name
        'user_id'  => 123456,                        // long in TL  => int in PHP
        'nameparts' => ['Henrik', 'Skov'],              // Vector int in TL => int[] in PHP
        'fullname' => 'Henrik Skov',
        'silent'   => false,                         // bool in TL  => bool in PHP
];

$connection = new_rpc_connection($host, $port);
$query_id = rpc_tl_query_one($connection, $query);  // in

// Parse response
$response = rpc_tl_query_result_one($query_id);     // mixed[]
// check for errors
if (isset($response['__error'])) {
        // __error, __error_code
        var_dump($response);
}

// ['result'] is valid unless error
$result = $response['result'];   // mixed

var_dump($result);

Compiling with:

 kphp client.php -M cli -o ./client

Compiles OK.

server.php

<?php

if ($_SERVER['RPC_REQUEST_ID']) {
       // then it is a query for RPC server
       $request = rpc_server_fetch_request();

       var_dump($request);
       $func = $request->getTLFunctionName();
       var_dump($func);

       //$response = new \tl\RpcFunctionReturnResult();

       //rpc_server_store_response($response);
      
       // How do I make a response here ???

       exit;

} else {
       die('Unsupported query');
}

Compiling with:

kphp server.php -o ./server.php

DOES NOT compile ?

The error is:

What am I doing wrong ???

Where exactly should the schema.tlo file be placed ? On the server and/or the client ? And how do I specify the path to it ???

Please help !
