update $xml_data just by this one

$xml_data ='<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><AvailabilitySearch>       <RegionId xmlns="http://www.reservwire.com/namespace/WebServices/Xml">'.$RegionId.'</RegionId>       <HotelId xmlns="http://www.reservwire.com/namespace/WebServices/Xml">0</HotelId>       <HotelStayDetails xmlns="http://www.reservwire.com/namespace/WebServices/Xml">     </AvailabilitySearch>      ';

Just add your GET vars to url.

 $URL = "http://roomsxmldemo.com/RXLStagingServices/ASMX/XmlService.asmx?var1=val1&var2=val2";

@user2822230 So rewrite your question, because now it's impossible to understand.

user2822230 Over a year ago

u see xml in $xml_data='xmldata'; the GET or POST vars must be in 'xmldata'

Elon Than Over a year ago

So put it there, it's pretty simple.. $var = 'string '. $var2.' string';

user2822230 Over a year ago

can u pls give the example with the script above?

@user2822230 No, it's to basic and you should do it yourself with provided example.

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.
