It seems you simply need to send an XML REQUEST and get back an XML
RESPONSE. The fact that the other site is written in PHP is immaterial as
XML is independent. If you were writing in PHP you could use nuSOAP to
send and receive the XML requests and responses. If you are writing in
Perl, then you need the XML::Simple module. You don't say what language you
writing in.

Hope that helps.
