Example how to use HttpRequest to post data and receive the response:
<?php

    <from>lymber</from>
    <heading>php http request</heading>

</note>';
$url = 'http://www.example.com';

$header_array = array('Expect' => '',
                'From' => 'User A');
$ssl_array = array('version' => SSL_VERSION_SSLv3);
$options = array(headers => $header_array,
                httpauth => $credentials,
                httpauthtype => HTTP_AUTH_BASIC,
                protocol => HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
                ssl => $ssl_array);
                
//create the httprequest object                
$httpRequest_OBJ = new httpRequest($url, HTTP_METH_POST, $options);
//add the content type
$httpRequest_OBJ->setContentType = 'Content-Type: text/xml';
//add the raw post data
$httpRequest_OBJ->setRawPostData ($theData);
//send the http request
$result = $httpRequest_OBJ->send();
//print out the result
echo "<pre>"; print_r($result); echo "</pre>";
