Answer 2

Just add your GET vars to url.
$URL = "http://roomsxmldemo.com/RXLStagingServices/ASMX/XmlService.asmx?var1=val1&var2=val2";

Answer 3

Well, merely you can wrap your xml content in double quotes and substitute necessary variables.
$id = (isset($_GET['id'])) ? $_GET['id'] : '';
xml_data = "<AvailabilitySearch>
<RegionId xmlns=\"http://www.reservwire.com/namespace/WebServices/Xml\">$rid</RegionId>
<HotelId xmlns=\"http://www.reservwire.com/namespace/WebServices/Xml\">0</HotelId>
<HotelStayDetails xmlns=\"http://www.reservwire.com/namespace/WebServices/Xml\">
</AvailabilitySearch>";
Value of $id variable will be in xml content. And you can post this message. But, don't forget to shield inner double quotes with additional slashes in your xml.
