Hi,
I need to post an XML string to a url using PHP.
How do i go about do this?

thanks

If you need to create XML files in PHP, you can do it without having to create the tags yourself with strings. This code shows you how to use the new_child functions to create an XML file.

PHP Code:

<?
  $doc = new_xmldoc('1.0');
  $root = $doc->add_root('members');
  $member = $root->new_child('member','');

  $member->new_child('lastName','John');
  $member->new_child('firstName','Adams');
  $member->new_child('contribution','3400');

  $member = $root->new_child('member','');

  $member->new_child('lastName','Debra');
  $member->new_child('firstName','Hones');
  $member->new_child('contribution','2400');

  $member = $root->new_child('member','');

  $member->new_child('lastName','Jake');
  $member->new_child('firstName','Tudor');
  $member->new_child('contribution','1200');

  $fp = @fopen('members.xml','w');
  if(!$fp) {
    die('Error cannot create XML file');
  }
  fwrite($fp,$doc->dumpmem());
  fclose($fp);
  ?>

would create the following XML file.
output

<members>
  <member>
    <lastName>John</lastName>
    <firstName>Adams</firstName>
    <contribution>3400</contribution>
  </member>
  <member>
    <lastName>Debra</lastName>
    <firstName>Hones</firstName>
    <contribution>2400</contribution>
  </member>
  <member>
    <lastName>Jake</lastName>
    <firstName>Tudor</firstName>
    <contribution>1200</contribution>
  </member>
</members>

Hi there,

can you give us an example of exactly whta your trying to do? because 'posting an XML string to a url' is as simple as url.com?xmlstring=$data... so maybe I misunderstood?

cheers
