Sending XML using Curl post to a webservice - php

Question

I am trying to send a XML script to a webserver to retrieve an authentication token, i would like some help with that. At the moment with my code i think it is connecting but it returns only the wsdl file in text format on the screen.
I would like to receive the autentication token.
My code:
<?php
$xml_data = '
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:ns="http://dpd.com/common/service/types/LoginService/2.0">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<ns:getAuth>
<delisId>id</delisId>
<password>password</password>
<messageLanguage>nl_NL</messageLanguage>
</ns:getAuth>
</soapenv:Body>
<soapenv:Envelope>
';
$headers = array(
"POST HTTP/1.1",
"Host: hostname",
"Content-type: application/soap+xml; charset=\"utf-8\"",
"SOAPAction: \"http://dpd.com/common/service/LoginService/2.0/getAuth\"",
"Content-length: ".strlen($xml_data)
);
$url = 'https://public-ws-stage.dpd.com/services/LoginService/V2_0/?wsdl';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "$xml_data");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
$err = curl_error($ch);
print_r($output);
print_r($err);
curl_close($ch);
?>
The WSDL file is in the link below:
https://public-ws-stage.dpd.com/services/LoginService/V2_0/?wsdl

Here you go, works a treat:
$xml_data = '
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:ns="http://dpd.com/common/service/types/LoginService/2.0">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<ns:getAuth>
<delisId>id</delisId>
<password>password</password>
<messageLanguage>nl_NL</messageLanguage>
</ns:getAuth>
</soapenv:Body>
<soapenv:Envelope>
';
$headers = array(
"POST HTTP/1.1",
"Host: hostname",
"Content-type: application/soap+xml; charset=\"utf-8\"",
"SOAPAction: \"http://dpd.com/common/service/LoginService/2.0/getAuth\"",
"Content-length: ".strlen($xml_data)
);
$url = 'https://public-ws-stage.dpd.com/services/LoginService/V2_0/?wsdl';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE); //Don't verify ssl certificate
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $xml_data);
$reply = curl_exec($ch);
// Represents an element in an XML document.
$xmli = new SimpleXMLElement($reply);
// prints the XML response
print_r($reply);
// prints the XML object
print_r($xmli);
I've included the SimpleXMLElement class incase you wanted to access the response data as an object.
