Description:
------------
"Sets xmlrpc type, base64 or datetime, for a PHP string value" is fine, but a couple more details would be better off in the official docs than in the comments:

+ only valid values for $type are 'datetime' and 'base64'

+ when setting type to base64, the encoding process is carried out by the function, the user does not need to do the base64 encoding on its own

+ the type-setting process changes the string variable upon which it acts, converting it in fact (when successful) in an anonymous object

+ if conversion process fails, the function returns false, so it is easy to check if it worked before calling xmlrpc_encode() on the data

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.

Encoding is not done by xmlrpc_set_type() but later.
