Sure, that would be one way to implement option #1; or, as in the XML entry in the PHP manual, paging through the file in 4k chunks (better if you're parsing large files); but passing the url as a parameter instead of defining it explicitly, ie http://myserver/script.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwebsite.com%2Fdocument.xml Or you could post the whole XML source to the script (this could be useful for interactive testing of an XML-generating script); or you could upload an XML file and have the script parse it (I'm really not sure how this would be useful, but you could :-) Also note, if you want to get XML back again, maybe you should look at the XSLT functions. > --- Hugh Bothwell <hugh_bothwell@hotmail.com> wrote: > > I'm not sure how you mean; it depends on where the > > data is coming from. > > > > I count three ways you can do this: > > 1. pass the XML filename (or URL) to the script via > > GET or POST > > 2. pass the XML source to the script via POST > > 3. upload the file via POST and call the script > > > > More details on what you're trying to accomplish > > would help. > > > > ""Niel Zeeman"" <NZeeman@Btech.co.za> wrote in > > message > > > news:9heo93$q9j$1@w153.z064000151.sjc-ca.dsl.cnc.net... > > > Hi there > > > > > > Is there anyway of passing a xml document to a php > > page as raw data. > > > > > > What I want to do is eg. > > > send a page a xml document and recieve a response > > ( in xml ) from that page.
