Send xml request using PHP curl

I'm sharing my solution with others that will be helpful for others.

$url = "https://path_to_service.asp";//setting the curl headers$headers = array(    "Content-type: text/xml;charset=\"utf-8\"",    "Accept: text/xml",    "Cache-Control: no-cache",    "Pragma: no-cache",    "SOAPAction: \"run\"");try{    $ch = curl_init();    //setting the curl options    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,  $xmlRequest);    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0);    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);    $data = curl_exec($ch);    //convert the XML result into array    if($data === false){        $error = curl_error($ch);        echo $error;        die('error occured');    }else{        $data = json_decode(json_encode(simplexml_load_string($data)), true);    }    curl_close($ch);}catch(Exception  $e){    echo 'Message: '.$e->getMessage();    die("Error");}

Thanks.
