Question

How can I send a XML to spec URL?

Every time a form is sent I want to send a xml file to a url … how do I do that?

NOTE: xml file to be sent is always the same so I do not need to create new xml file each time ..

Answer 1

Something along the lines of:

1. Load XML into $xmldata.

2. Create headers:

   $header[] = "Host: www.site.com"; 
   $header[] = "Content-type: text/xml"; 
   $header[] = "Content-length: ".strlen($xmldata) . "\r\n"; 
   $header[] = $xmldata;
   

3. Run CURL:

   $ch = curl_init();
   curl_setopt($ch, CurlOPT_url, "http://www.site.com/receiving_script.php");
   curl_setopt($ch, CurlOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
   curl_setopt($ch, CurlOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);
   curl_setopt($ch, CurlOPT_CUStoMREQUEST, 'POST');
   curl_exec($ch);
   curl_close($ch);
   

This is just a sample code, but you get the idea.
