glennnall Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 i'm doing a form that posts values to XML, and i don't know how. can someone help me with a quick lesson in passing variables/XML data? i don't even know what question to ask, actually - the XML format i've been given is: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <lead> <innerNode></innerNode> <last_name>Smith</last_name> <first_name>John</first_name> </lead> and what i've come up with so far is this, but i don't even know if i'm on the right track: $last_name = $_REQUEST['l_name']; $first_name = $_REQUEST['f_name']; $url = "http://url.com/leads"; $post_string = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <lead> <innerNode></innerNode> <last_name>'.$last_name.'</last_name> <first_name>'.$first_name.'</first_name> </lead>'; $header = "POST HTTP/1.0 \r\n"; $header .= "Content-type: text/xml \r\n"; $header .= "Content-length: ".strlen($post_string)." \r\n"; $header .= "Content-transfer-encoding: text \r\n"; $header .= "Connection: close \r\n\r\n"; $header = $post_string; $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 4); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, $header); $data = curl_exec($ch); if(curl_errno($ch)) { print curl_error($ch); } else { echo "yay"; curl_close($ch); } i'm being told "should return a response.xml with either a success or failure post status." which is confusing me can someone help a bit? thanks very much...
