and yes to view the response i have this file server.php

$xml = file_get_contents(‘client.php’);
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xml, LIBXML_NOCDATA, false);

$response = (string) $xml;
$response = strtoupper($response);

First do one thing. Try a to Execute a small CURL code in your server. There are tones of examples over internet and make sure that CURL is enabled in your server. You can check using phpinfo().

Do you know, if there is any response come back in your case when you send XML request using CURL?
