How to fetch XML 'POST'ed data in PHP?

[sl1m]

I have a PHP page which receives 'POST'ed XML data from a server.

The data is sent in the format shown below.

My question is, how do I detect the posted XML data in PHP?

Thanks in advance
Simon

POST /mypage.php HTTP/1.1
Host: www.myhost.com
Content-type: text/xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<data>
   <cmd>activate</cmd>
   <param>
     <name>John Public</name>
     <email>[e-mail]</email>
     <system>test</system>
   </param>
</data>

How exactly is it posted? Post data contains a placeholder (variable) and a value. So it would be...

$xml = $_POST['nameofplaceholder'];

Hi Thorpe.

Thanks for the reply.

The XML data is posted in raw format. The POST looks exactly as shown in my post above, so I can't fetch the xml by using the $_POST variables.

I've tried to use these functions aswell to fetch the xml, but, so far, without success:

file_get_contents('php://input');

$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA;

Thanks
Simon
