You can get what you post either with:
$postText = trim(file_get_contents('php://input');
Or with:
$postText = $GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"];
About HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA http://us2.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php
Read the notes here http://us2.php.net/variables.predefined
"It should be noted that $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA only exists if the encoding type of
the data is -not- the default of application/x-www.form-urlencoded, and so, to
accessing raw post data from an HTTP form requires setting enctype= in your
HTML. "
So, if $RAW_POST_DATA doesn't exist, it is because you should be able to use
$_POST (unless you set PHP to always populate raw post data in php.ini). The
preferred method is, however, to read 'php://input'
Then after you get the XML body, you must use one of the XML extensions
available in PHP to parse the XML data (search for it as it's not part of this
help pack ;) ).
