$dom -> formatOutput = true;
$result= $dom->saveXML();
 ?>

Now I need to post it to an external URL using CURL and it fails

<?php
Require 'createquidataxml.php';
$Result = simplexml_load_string($result);
$xmlResult= $Result->asXML();
echo $xmlResult;
die();
$ch= curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, Array("Content-Type: text/xml"));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, Array("Accept: text/xml"));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.example.net/test_data.php");
 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $xmlResult);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,1);
 
curl_exec($ch);

It seems the issue is the xml file comes over as an array and they are expecting a DOM objct. As you can see I am using PHP in Curl.

Any throubleshooting suggstions welcom
