Philip : Try this: Client: $client = new SoapClient( null, array( 'encoding' => 'utf-8', 'soap_version' => SOAP_1_2, 'trace' => 1, 'uri' => 'tns: Server', 'location' => 'php server URL here')); // Cut off <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>, to not have two xml start tag in the soap message. $xmlres = $client->__soapCall( 'ProXML', array( str_replace( '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>'."\n", '', $sXml ))); echo '<pre>', $xmlres, '</pre>'; // print the xml output or var_export($xmlres, true) if $xmlres is an array. SERVER: class Receiver { public function ProXML ( $sXML ) { libxml_use_internal_errors(true); // enabled use libxml errors // try..catch to cacth simplexmlelement errors try { $xml = new SimpleXMLElement( '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>' . $sXML ); // Try to create a xml object with the string passed } catch (Exception $e) { $aErrors = libxml_get_errors(); // get errors foreach ( $aErros as $oErro ) { switch ( $oErro->level ) { case LIBXML_ERR_WARNING: $sCod .= '<return><code>' . $oErro->code .

I am in need of creating a service on our web server that will always be available and automated. It will accept an XML file. I will be checking to see if the XML file is valid and then passing it on to another server. But I need to accept this file without using a submit form. I have never done anything like this and looking for ideas. I am using a lamp environment and looking for suggestions. I am looking to set this up so that our vendors can set up scripts to automatically post XML files to our servers.

Given our history, it's stunning we fail to question those who would force upon us a total reliance on the state for defense." -- Robert J.
