+1  Q: 

Posting to php page using local program

A: 

In the PHP page that is being called (the page you are posting data to, testmycode.php), you should be able to use the superglobal $_POST variable to get data that was POSTed to the script.

(Well, that is, hopping I understood your question correctly)

not really. When I do a var_dump on the post variable its empty.The problem is actaully as it turns out a lot simpler than I made it.The data being sent was in XML format. When I changed it to simple text I can see the string and all is well. So the only problem as it turns out is now converting the string into a displayable xml format.

+2  A: 

You say when you echo the string you get nothing back. Could it be something simple, like, you're echoing the content to your browser, and your browser is not showing it because it is all tags?
