This is new for me… I need to connect to a server that only uses XML Post requests.
has anyone worked with Sage DataStream before?
does anyone know a php function that handles XML POST Requests? i’m assuming this uses the same method as PayPal IPN Post request but it shoots the responses in xml 
example is the following…
<XMLDataStreamRequest>
<Ver>3.1</Ver>
<Auth>
<AcctID>ACCOUNT NUMBER</AcctID>
<LoginID>LOGIN ID</LoginID>
<Password>LOGIN PASSWORD</Password>
</Auth>
<CategoryList>
<GetList>1</GetList>
<Sort>NAME or CATNUM</Sort>
</CategoryList>
</XMLDataStreamRequest>
