    At present, i'm using curl. I am able to send the xml query over, and get a response. but the response is not what i am expecting.

    This is the code im using..

    $url = "http://xxx";
$xml = '<?xml version ="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
         <root>
            <header>
               <protocol>1</protocol>
               <oem>xx</oem>
               <agentID>xxx</agentID>
               <password>xxxx</password>
            </header>
            <body>
               <opCode>XX_AREAS_XX</opCode>
               <item name=”ANTALYA” ID=”5” />
               <item name=”JERUSALEM” ID=”1” />
            </body>

         </root>
      ';

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, Array("Content-Type: text/xml"));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'xml=' . $xml);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$content = curl_exec($ch);
    PHP:

    when i use a standalone program to submit the exact same xml string to the same url, using post, i get this reply.

    <body><version>3.91</version><opCode>OP_AREAS_LIST</opCode><country ID="27"><item name="Aachen, Germany" ID="13547" coreID="0"/><item name="Augsburg, Germany" ID="4408" coreID="0"/><item name="Bad Homburg, Germany" ID="5867" coreID="0"/><item name="Baden-Baden, Germany" ID="229" coreID="0"/><item name="Bautzen, Germany" ID="5889" coreID="0"/></country></body>
    Code (markup):

    but when i use the above code, i get this instead.. 

    <body><version>3.91</version><opCode>OP_OK</opCode></body>
    Code (markup):

    is there something wrong with the way i'm executing the code?

    Kindly give this a shot:

    <?php
function send_request($data) {
	# url = http://www.example.com/path/to/receiver
	$path = '/path/to/receiver';
	$host = 'www.example.com';
	
	$header = "POST ".$path." HTTP/1.0\r\n";
	$header .= "Host: ".$host."\r\n";
	$header .= "Content-Type: text/xml\r\n";
	$header .= "Content-Length: " . strlen($data) . "\r\n\r\n";
	// open socket
	# $fp = pfsockopen('ssl://www.example.com', 443, $errno, $errstr, 60);
	$fp = fsockopen($host, 80, $errno, $errstr, 60);
	$retval='';
	if (!$fp) {
		return "Error: " . $errstr;
	}
	else {
		fputs($fp, $header.$data);
		while (!feof($fp)) {
			$retval .= fread($fp, 1024);
		}
		fclose ($fp);
	}
	return $retval;
}
$xml = '<xml>xml</xml>';
echo send_request($xml);
?>

    <?php
	$path = '/path/to/receiver';
	$host = 'example.com';
	$content = '<xml>xml</xml>';
	
	// you may use parse_url here instead
	$url = 'http://www.example.com/path/to/receiver';
			
	$headers = array();
	$headers[] = "POST ".$path." HTTP/1.1";
	$headers[] = "Host: ".$host;
	$headers[] = "Content-Type: text/xml";
	$headers[] = "Content-Length: ".mb_strlen($content, "UTF-8");
	$headers[] = "Connection: Close";
	// add the headers

	$ch = curl_init();
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); // set url to post to
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers); //add http headers
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, 1); // Fail on errors
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1); // allow redirects
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1); // return into a variable
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $content);  // post the xml
	
	$errno = curl_errno($ch);
	$response = curl_exec($ch);
	
	echo $response;
?>

    thanks brownskinman,

    i tried the curl example you posted, i still get the same 1 liner response with some additional info. 

    
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Connection: close
Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2008 03:22:03 GMT
Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
Content-Length: 60
Content-Type: text/xml
Expires: Fri, 19 Dec 2008 03:21:03 GMT
Cache-control: private

<body><version>3.91</version><opCode>OP_OK</opCode></body>
    Code (markup):
    then i tried the fput method,
    IT WORKS!!!! however, it takes almost 15 seconds to return this result.. that's considered long right? or is it because of the data length that is being returned that's why its so slow?
