Anybody know how to POST HTTP XML to an external URL and then receive XML data back?
You can use raw socket communication for this, see:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.sockets.php
Basically, you would write your HTTP POST (and the necessary content headers) over the socket, and then read the response.
cURL may be able to help you with what you want to do, however PHP must be installed with cURL support.
look to: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.curl.php
or: http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/php/
for reference.
Anybody have any sample code.. I have not used sockets before or cURL. (I only have acces to cURL from the 'exec' command)
