Submitting with PHP and Curl - php

Question

I've been trying all morning to get an XML string uploaded via an API so that it submits my order but no matter what I try it simply isn't working for me.
My URL:
$url = "http://example.com/SubmitOrder?apiKey=ABC123&clientID=MYId&orderXml=".$xml;
$xml is my xml details already pre-formatted.
I then put this into my curl section:
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => 1,
CURLOPT_URL => $url
));
$resp = curl_exec($curl);
$xml1=simplexml_load_string($resp) or die("Error: Cannot create object");
print_r($xml1);
echo "Submitted";
The response I get is "Error: Cannot create object" and I can see that my details have not been submitted.
Where am iI going wrong ??
Many thanks.

You can check your response data and create data in this code example.
<?php
$url = 'https://www.w3schools.com/xml/note.xml';
$resp = file_get_contents($url);
if (resp) {
$string = simplexml_load_string($resp);
var_dump($movies);
}
but if you want get data in method curl try this.
<?php
$html_brand = 'https://www.w3schools.com/xml/note.xml';
$ch = curl_init();
$options = array(
CURLOPT_URL => $html_brand,
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_HEADER => true,
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,
CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER => true,
CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT => 120,
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 120,
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
);
curl_setopt_array( $ch, $options );
$response = curl_exec($ch);
switch ($http_code = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE)) {
case 200: # OK
break;
default:
echo 'Status code HTTP: ', $http_code, "\n";
}
var_dump($response);
curl_close($ch);
die();
Check your data. And check your response status code.
