I currently have a script parsing data from a Web Service, all examples I've found so far tell me the result is just to be parsed as XML, but without the result actually being valid XML this is a bit difficulty.
My XML Request sent to the Web Service:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns="http://www.bring.no/logistics/shippingguide/1.0">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<ns:ShippingGuideRequest>

<ns:ProductIds>
<ns:ProductId>SERVICEPAKKE</ns:ProductId>
</ns:ProductIds>
<ns:Packages>
<ns:Package packageId="7,">
<ns:GrossWeight unitCode="GRM">500</ns:GrossWeight>
<ns:FromPostalCode>4045</ns:FromPostalCode>
<ns:ToPostalCode>4045</ns:ToPostalCode>
</ns:Package>
</ns:Packages>
</ns:ShippingGuideRequest>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
I am NOT able to use the built in SoapClient that comes with PHP5 and above, as I do not approve of forcing my users to have this configured as I've experienced many of my test cases to not have. I have tried doing the request using plain sockets as well as cURL, but this did not yield any different results.
The result I get from the call is as follows;

As you can see the XML request is lacking the XML start tags, and as such SimpleXMLElement and similar in PHP is unable to interpret it.
Finally, the code I use to send my request, hopefully it's something trivial like a header I'm missing or similar.
$ch = curl_init("http://fraktguide.bring.no/fraktguide/ws/1.0/");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8', 'Content-Length: ' . strlen($xml) ));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PORT, 80);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $xml);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
