Hi

I need to pass a single variable containing XML elements to a webservice.
The service only has one variable xmlLeads declared, but the format of this needs to be XML.

My file looks like this:

<?php

//create XML lead
$xmlcode = '
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Lead>
<General>
<dealer>576</dealer>
<source>Cars</source>
<enquiry>1</enquiry>
<subtype>4</subtype>
<comment />
</General>
<Prospect>
<title>Test Title</title>
<name>Test Name</name>
<surname>Test Surname</surname>
<email>Test Email</email>
<home>Test Home</home>
<work>Test Work</work>
<mobile>Test Mobile</mobile>
<idnumber>Test Idnumber</idnumber>
<comment>Testing please notify me if you receive this lead.</comment>
<area>Test Area</area>
</Prospect>
<Item>
<id>43</id>
<purchaseDate></purchaseDate>
</Item>
</Lead>
';
//echo($xmlcode);


//send lead
$wsdlurl2 = "http://leadEngine.ix.co.za/Submit.asmx?WDSL";

include_once("../lib/nusoap.php");
$nusoapClient2 = new nusoap_client($wsdlurl2, 'wsdl');
$err2 = $nusoapClient2->getError();
if ($err2) {
throw new Exception('Constructor error' . $err2);
}

$result3 = $nusoapClient2->call('SubmitLead',array('xmlLead'=>"$xmlcode"));
print_r($result3);

?>
The print_r($result3) returns an empty string. If i change the variables however it throws an XML missing error, which means it is connecting correctly.
If I run the webservice through soapUI and just copy my xmlcode variable contents into the webservice between the xmlLead tags it works perfectly.
I am new to webservices in general. Is it possible to pass the entire XML contents through like this?
