Example PHP script used to capture HTTP post data:

  $data = $GLOBALS['HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA'];
  $itemid = "";
	  if (ereg("order-item id=\"(.*)\", $data, $matches)) {
	    $itemid = $matches[0];
	}
  $fp =
fopen("/home/cxu/Dev/SharewareEmart/deploy/sites/1/htdocs/examples/result."
. $itemid . "xml", "w");
  fwrite($fp, $data);
  fclose($fp);

Below is an example of the XML you would receive:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
