Do you know what the server is expecting? Is it expecting 'raw' data or
is it expecting the 'variable=data' posted data?
If it is the second, you probably need to urlencode the variable=data.

I've hacked an example that I found somewhere to do this:
function varEncode($varArray)
{
    $args = array();
    foreach($varArray as $key => $value){
        array_push($args,$key.'='.urlencode($value));
    }
    return implode('&',$args);
}

To encode it:
$urlstring =varEncode(array('id'=>'888','request'=>$xmlcontent));

Then you can post the $urlstring
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $urlstring);
--JJ--
