Method for php to send xml as post

In this paper, an example is given to describe the method of sending xml in the form of post by php. Share it for your reference. The specific methods are as follows:

Method 1, using curl:

$xml_data = <xml>...</xml>";

$url = 'http://www.xxxx.com';

$header[] = "Content-type: text/xml";// Definition content-type For xml

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $xml_data);

$response = curl_exec($ch);

if(curl_errno($ch))

{

    print curl_error($ch);

}

curl_close($ch);

Method 2, using fsockopen:

$fp = fsockopen($server_ip, 80);

fputs($fp, "POST $path HTTP/1.0\r\n");

fputs($fp, "Host: $server\r\n");

fputs($fp, "Content-Type: text/xml\r\n");

fputs($fp, "Content-Length: $contentLength\r\n");

fputs($fp, "Connection: close\r\n");

fputs($fp, "\r\n"); // all headers sent

fputs($fp, $xml_data);

$result = '';

while (!feof($fp)) {

$result .= fgets($fp, 128);

}

return $result;
