to post xml just throw it into a variable and send it like this:

$ch = curl_init(); //initiate the curl session
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); //set to url to post to
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); // tell curl to return data
in a variable
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $xmlRequest); // post the xml
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, (int)$timeout); // set timeout in seconds
$xmlResponse = curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);

if all goes well then $xmlResult should contain your returned xml
