Send XML from PHP to C++ Server

[worlin@hotmail.co.uk]

s it possible to send an XML request from PHP to a C++ XML Server. The
server is listening on a port and I can connect and send xml via a
simple C++ client, but I can't get it going with PHP.

I connect to the port fine, but can't seam to send any information.

Can anyone shed any light on how to do this.

Thanks
Jay

Re: Send XML from PHP to C++ Server

Hi Jonny,

This is what i am trying:

$socket = pfsockopen("MyC omp", 10000);
$xml = "XML2Send";

$res = fwrite($socket, $xml);

>From the servers point of view the text coming in is junk.

The server is expecting unicode text, because of this do I have to
encode what I want to send before sending it or anything?

Thanks
Jay

I've done this to a server but not when it requires unicode.
you could try some of the functions mentioned here

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.xml.php

I see there's a http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.utf8-encode.php
mentioned, that might do the trick.
Also as I recall you need to specify in the xml header what encoding is used
to that the receiver knows how to interpret the stream. Here's a bit about
encoding from w3.org http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xml-20001006#charencoding
tel us how you get on so others can learn.
