Sending SOAP or MIME Messages from PHP

If you have well formatted SOAP or MIME messages, here's a simple PHP script that allows you to do so. The function returns the reply from the server.

1. //----------------------------------------------------------------- execCurl --  
2. function execCurl($url, $header, $query)  
3. {  
4.     $ch = curl_init();  
5.     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,            $url);  
6.     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);  
7.     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,     $header);  
8.     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,     $query);  
9.     $r = curl_exec($ch);  
10.     if (curl_errno($ch)) {  
11.         echo curl_error($ch);  
12.         exit(1);  
13.     }  
14.     curl_close($ch);  
15.     return $r;  
16. }
