PHP XML request

[kvnielsen]

Hi everyone,

How can I direct the webserver (PHP support) to request an xml page from another server (different url)? The URL string will be built using XML/XSLT which I can handle but the thing I am stumped on is what function/method to call to instruct the webserver to request an XML doc from another server.

Here is an example of the XML request I am making:

http://axml.server1234.com/xml.jsp?cid=1&carType=ford0d321&intfc=ws&xml=<CarSessionRequest method='selectCarInfo'><CarId>672138</CarId></CarSessionRequest>

How can I use PHP to form the request for this page (not from the browser.. from the server) and a tip on receiving the page would be nice too :)

Thanks for your help,

kvnielsen

You can use the curl module to do that!
