I'm sending from a php cli with:
$post = '<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8"?><Data>'.$vendorCompanyID.'</Data>';
$message = generatePage($page, $post);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,'https://myserver/mytestpage.php');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 4);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, $message);
$data=curl_exec($ch);
I've the server page (mytestpage.php) set up as:
echo "hello\n";
print_r($_SERVER);
where I replace SERVER with POST etc and I can't find the string '<?xml
version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><Data>'.$vendorCompanyID.'</Data>' in
the $data output. I do get the hello so I know I am hitting the server
and when it is set to $_SERVER as listed above I get the expected array
but $_POST is empty.
