使用PHP将数据字符串输出到XML服务器

Question

I need to put a string of data like so: '< client>...<\client>' onto an XMl server (example url:'http://example.appspot.com/examples') using PHP. (Context: Adding a new client's details to the server).

I have tried using CURLOPT_PUT, with a file and with just a string (since it requires CURLOPT_INFILESIZE and CURLOPT_INFILE) but it does not work!

Are there any other PHP functions that could be used to do such a thing? I have been looking around but PUT requests information is sparse.

Thanks.

since I haven't worked with cURL so far I can't really answer to that topic. If you'd like to use cURL I'd suggest looking at the server log and see what actually didn't work (so: Was the output of the request really what it's supposed to be?)

If you don't mind switching over to another technology/library I'd suggest you to use the Zend HTTP Client which is really straight forward to use, simple to include and should satisfy all your needs. Especially as performing a PUT Request is as simple as that:

<?php 
   // of course, perform require('Zend/...') and 
   // $client = new Zend_HTTP_Client() stuff before
   // ...
   [...]
   $xml = '<yourxmlstuffhere>.....</...>';
   $client->setRawData($xml)->setEncType('text/xml')->request('PUT');
?>
