PHP script receives XML file from client

[Guest varelg]

Javascript script on the client communicates with the server through XMLHTTP object and sends XML file through xmlObject.send() method via POST to a PHP script on the server. How to get that file to pass through a parser set up serverside (in the PHP script)?Would it be through $_POST['the_ name_ of_ variable_that_holds_xml_file_as_string']?Like in the form of:

<script type="text/javascript>var incomingXml="<person>John Doe</person>";//intialization of xmlhttp object here...xmlHttp.send(incomingXml);</script>

And later in PHP script on the server:

<?php$incoming_xml = $_POST['incomingXml']?>
