Newbie: XML HTTP Request

2 New Member

Hi All,

I am very new to php and even newer to XML. Can anyone please shed some light on how to post XML requests via HTTP.

I have been searching high and low and have come across many examples and snippets, but none work nor make sense to me.

Below is an example of what it is I need to send as a request and the typical example I should receive. I just don't know how to send the request!!!
