Hi,

your javascript function posts the xml code to the php script. $REQUEST is an associative array containing both post and get data. In this case I'd suggest to use $POST instead. Besides that you need to get the posted data itself, don't use the array. How does the posted data look like ?

Add

print_r($_POST);

to your script to check how the data look like.

its returning a array.

do u knw how to get it if it is in form of array.
bcuz variable is not there..

What does print_r($POST); or print_r($REQUEST); return ?

Save the data in a file and post it as attachment.

i found in examples tht i have to use http_raw_post _data when the browse posts in form of xml string
i used the following code to get the value but it returns thsi error

Undefined index: HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA in <b>C:\xml\selectcamps.php

$sXML = $GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"];

if($doc1 = DOMDocument::load($sXML))

[tsinka]

Which PHP version do you have ?
