post xml using curl - php

Question

i'm trying to post xml via HTTP POST method...the code works fine and displays the desired message.."Data received successfully"..problem is, on looking it up on the backend, the data is not posted on the Agenda Creative backend..where could i have messed up??thanks in advance.
<?php
function sendXmlOverPost($url, $xml) {
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
// For xml, change the content-type.
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, Array("Content-Type: text/xml"));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $xml);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); // ask for results to be returned
// Send to remote and return data to caller.
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $result;
}
$postargs = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I don't know about Agenda Creative. But try something like this?
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array('xml' => $xml));
where 'xml' is the post field your xml data should be in.
