PHP command-line version of http form post

[KhanyBoy]

Hi,

heres my problem.

I can consume a soap server in php within a browser by 'post'ing a
form variable that contains XML - no problem. However, if I want to
use the php command line to send the same data in the same way (as the
soap server sees it), what command-line grammar do i use?

Its trickey I know so ask for more information if you're not sure.

thanks in advance.

something like this maybe (linux):
cat some_post_data. txt | /usr/bin/php

or windows:
type some_post_data. txt | php.exe

not tested it, but that should generally work as far as I know.
