HTTP post using php and curl failing
- by user2916484
I am trying to send an XML file to an external system. I am using the below code for doing so, which I got over the internet.
But I observed that when i put an echo on the xml variable, it does not show me the XML as a string, but it is parsing the xml and showing me the values. Same is happening when I am sending this to external system. Which is failing.
Can you please tell me a way, in which the XML is not parsed and I can send the entire XML text as a string to external system?
My code is below.
<?php
$xml = '<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding="UTF-8" ?><shiporder><orderID>1234</orderID> <orderperson>John Smith</orderperson></shiporder>';
$xml2 = '';
$headers = array(
"Content-type: text/xml",
"Content-length: " . strlen($xml),
"Connection: close",
);
// give the path of the Third party site
$url = "http://<server>:<port>/XMII/Illuminator?service=WSMessageListener&mode=WSMessageListenerServer&NAME=shiporder&IllumLoginName=<name>&IllumLoginPassword=<pswd>";
echo $xml;
echo $url;
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_MUTE, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $xml);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
echo $output;
curl_close($ch);
?>
