How can I send SOAP XML via Curl and PHP?

Question

This has been bugging me for days; I'm trying to send a SOAP post via Curl but I just keep getting a "couldn't connect to host" error, but, I really can't see how.

I have an ASP version which works fine with the same URL and data. I think it's just a PHP/Curl thing.

I currently have the following code (the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS data is a valid SOAP envelope string):

$soap_do = curl_init(); curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_URL,            "https://xxx.yyy.com:517/zzz.asmx" ); curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 10); curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT,        10); curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true ); curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false); curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_POST,           true );             curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,     '<soap:Envelope>...</soap:Envelope>');  curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,     array('Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8', 'Content-Length: '.strlen('<soap:Envelope>...</soap:Envelope>') ));  if(curl_exec($soap_do) === false) {                     $err = 'Curl error: ' . curl_error($soap_do);     curl_close($soap_do);     return $err; } else {     curl_close($soap_do);      return 'Operation completed without any errors'; } 

So any ideas why it just errors all the time?

The ASP version works fine! The code is:

Set xmlhttp = server.Createobject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP") xmlhttp.Open "POST","https://xxx.yyy.com:517/zzz.asmx" xmlhttp.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8" xmlhttp.Send('<soap:Envelope>...</soap:Envelope>')

Thanx a lot buddy, your code has worked for me.

Here is the code:

$soap_do = curl_init();  curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_URL,            $url );    curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 10);  curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT,        10);  curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true ); curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);   curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);  curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_POST,           true );  curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,    $post_string);  curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,     array('Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8', 'Content-Length: '.strlen($post_string) ));  curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $user . ":" . $password);  $result = curl_exec($soap_do); $err = curl_error($soap_do);
