I have to pass an XML-String to a webservice. $client = new SoapClient($wsdl,array('trace'=>1,'exceptions'=>0)); $result = $client->import($xml); The problem is, that SOAP or PHP replaces all "<" or ">" with "<" and ">" so that the SOAP HEader looks like: Request : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <SOAP-ENV:Envelope ........> <SOAP-ENV:Body><ns1:import><username xsi:type="xsd:string">xxx</username><password xsi:type="xsd:string">xxx</password><content xsi:type="xsd:string"> <head> <object type="Magazine"> I want to submit the XML as it is, without parsing.
