Code:
$result2 = $rpc->sendfrom($fromAccount, $toAccount, (float) $amount);
See if this works.
Now it worked! Thanx!
You're welcome. The problem was that you were trying to pass $amount as a string.

I'm getting the same error that was posted here about 1 year ago:

$ ./bitcoind -datadir=/home/theymos/bitcoin -conf=/home/theymos/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf && ./bitcoind getinfo
error: You must set rpcpassword= in the configuration file:
That second ./bitcoind getinfo has to be:error: You must set rpcpassword=
Code:
./bitcoind -datadir=/home/theymos/bitcoin -conf=/home/theymos/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf getinfo
... otherwise it will use the default config file and datadir.
When I upgraded from a version with switch-based passwords to the latest SVN, I ran into a problem: Bitcoin looks for the configuration file in the default "~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf" unless I point to any non-existent file. Example:
Bitcoin is using the correct datadir. Hardcoding the path in util.cpp just gives me "error:getinfo" (though maybe I'm not doing it correctly). Removing the "pathConfig.is_complete()" if statement does the same thing.
I'm on Linux with glibc 2.10.1. I'm using all of the recommended dependency versions. The only dependency I changed during the upgrade was Boost, which I had to recompile to get the additional libraries that Bitcoin now uses.

Ah alright. In that case, your username was actually "anything; does not have to be a 'real' user". That's why using the Bitcoin command line client worked - it used the full field for a username. I updated the wiki to remove the "; does not have to be a 'real' user" comment.
Ok, i found it. 
wiki says, create a bitcoin.conf like this:
removing the ; did the job,
using # as seperator/commentor works fine.

I'm on XP here, not sure if theres a netcat-clone available.
commandline works fine and does what it's supposed to

That's strange, didn't someone just say that was supposed to work? (what library was he using?) Post if you figure out what wrong.
That was me; I'm using the library at http://jsonrpcphp.org/ (download at http://jsonrpcphp.org/download.php?file=tgz&package=light), and I can confirm that this works:Code:
require_once 'jsonRPCClient.php';
$bitcoin = new jsonRPCClient('http://username:password@localhost:8332/');
echo $bitcoin->getblockcount();
?>
$bitcoin = new jsonRPCClient('http://username:password@localhost:8332/');
echo $bitcoin->getblockcount();
?>
not for me, that's what i tried first, cuz it's on the wiki.
this is all i get from jsonRPCClient:
Warning: fopen(http://...@localhost:8332/) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 401 Authorization Required in ...\jsonRPCClient.php on line 132
also couldn't get curl to authorize yet, all i get is
..curl_error():transfer closed with 15 bytes remaining to read..
which results in a "bad json-syntax" of course
testing on php5.3.0 curl7.19.4.
and open for ideas.

Thanks to gavinandresen and satoshi for fixing that bug so fast.
Great catch! Simpler fix is to specify the BIO_FLAGS_BASE64_NO_NL in the rpc.cpp/EncodeBase64 function
SVN rev 111 i got some problems here too trying to get this run on PHP.
so far i had no luck, neither the wiki-sample (jsonRPCClient trying to fopen(http://username:password@localhost:8332/)), nor my curl-sample (using setopt CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC) seem to work.

I hope it's not going to put up this much of a fight for all PHP users.
Looks like we've got the Fortran scenario already.
I found what appears to be a bug: with a long enough username and password combination, the base64 encoder in bitcoind ... inserts a newline every 64 characters

I found what appears to be a bug: with a long enough username and password combination, the base64 encoder in bitcoind produces authorization headers that look like this:
This can be solved by removing the newlines (and maybe '\r's) from result at the end of the Base64Encode function:
+1 to you for having such a long password that you found this bug.Code:
...
Authorization: Basic YWJiYWJiYWFiYmE6aGVsbG93b3JsZGhlbGxvd29ybGRoZWxsb3dvcmxkaGVsbG93
b3JsZGhlbGxvd29ybGRoZWxsb3dvcmxk
It inserts a newline every 64 characters, which obviously breaks the Authorization header, so commands like "bitcoin getinfo" fail. The server still works fine with properly behaving clients.Authorization: Basic YWJiYWJiYWFiYmE6aGVsbG93b3JsZGhlbGxvd29ybGRoZWxsb3dvcmxkaGVsbG93
b3JsZGhlbGxvd29ybGRoZWxsb3dvcmxk
This can be solved by removing the newlines (and maybe '\r's) from result at the end of the Base64Encode function:
Code:
result.erase(std::remove(result.begin(), result.end(), '\n'), result.end());
result.erase(std::remove(result.begin(), result.end(), '\r'), result.end());
result.erase(std::remove(result.begin(), result.end(), '\r'), result.end());
Uploaded to SVN as rev 110.
Hmm... I implemented digest auth into a custom webserver I wrote a decade ago. From what I remember, it was fairly easy. However, client support back then was rather shoddy. It has improved a lot since then. 
Perhaps we could document a simple stunnel + bitcoin configuration on the wiki then? Under a section called "Securely using bitcoind from remote"?
Just offering my 2c as usual.
