I have built a custom api using php, its a simple api that works by posting xml data.
The code that I have working to post to the api is:

<?php 
$xml_data = '<document>
 <first>'.$first.'</first>
 <last>'.$last.'</last>
 <email>'.$email.'</email>
 <phone>'.$phone.'</phone>
 <body>TEST</body>
</document>';
        $URL = "url";
        $ch = curl_init($URL);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: text/xml'));
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "$xml_data");
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        $output = curl_exec($ch);
        curl_close($ch);
        $Response = curl_exec($ch);    
    curl_close($ch);
    echo "Responce= ".$responce;
?>

On the other side, the code the above posts to:

<?php 
$postdata = file_get_contents("php://input"); 
$xml = simplexml_load_string($postdata);
$first = $xml->first;
$last = $xml->last;
$email = $xml->email;
$phone = $xml->phone;
?>

Then I take those php variables and send to a database.. ALL THIS CODE IS WORKING!!

But my questions is: How do I send a response back to the posting side?
How do I use curl_init to send to curl_exec?

Any help would be great! Thank you
Jason

    I think you want:

     echo "Responce= ".$Response;
