I'm going crazy, can't quite get this encoding to work. I've tried all the various combinations, trying to send this block $xml (which is a simple string variable) via post along with 3 other params:
$postArgs = http_build_query(array('method'=>'newPrintRequest', 'login'=>$login, 'password'=>$password, 'orderxml'=>$xml));
$ch = curl_init('http://test.server.com/rest_interface.php');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postArgs);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Content-Type: text/xml"));
$response = curl_exec($ch);
Is this use of http_build_query the best way to send XML? Any other curl options I should be setting? I tried urlencoding() the $xml, I tried htmlspecialchars(), I tried nothing at all, I tried & and &.... is there a "best practice" for how a big block of xml should be posted?
