Answer 1

With cURL

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.curl.php

$curl_handle = curl_init();
if (!$curl_handle) {
  die('fail to initialize');
}

curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 30);

//target URL setup
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://destination.cm/fg');
//mime type setup, change if necessary
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Content-Type: application/xml"));

curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

//here you assign the body of your request
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $xmlVariable);

$response = curl_exec($curl_handle);

if (curl_errno($curl_handle)) {
  die(curl_error($curl_handle));            
}

printf("Received :\n%s", $response);

Maybe your xml data is not very long,but it's not suggested that you send data using this way.It refers to security problem.So use POST instead of get

forget this post,I get something wrong...sorry :(
