* Good day all. I am struggling on how to fix this error. I’ve already google this
but cannot find any solution:(
* I want to develop custom payment gateway plugin and integrate to an externel
API. I am sending request using XML POST in wordpress using wp_remote_post.
* ```
public function process_payment( $order_id ) {
$order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
$url = "https://gateway.wepayez.com/pay/gateway";
$xml = "
";
$response_json = wp_remote_post(
$url,
array(
'method' => 'POST',
'timeout' => 45,
'redirection' => 5,
'httpversion' => '1.0',
'headers' => array("Content-type" => "text/xml"),
'body' => array('xml' => $xml),
'sslverify' => false
)
);
$response = json_encode($response_json);
echo $response;
```
* and this is the response i’ve got. hope someone can help me how to send request
using the sample xml data above. you’re help means a lot to me.
* ```
{"headers":{},"body":"<\/version>\n<\/charset>\n<\/status>\n<\/message>\n<\/xml>","response":{"code":200,"message":"OK"},"cookies":[],"filename":null,"http_response":{"data":null,"headers":null,"status":null}}

* THe message is self-explanatory — your XML encoding is incorrect. You may want
to change the `` tag to `` and get rid of the `` tag. If that doesn’t work, then I suggest you ask the folks at wepayez.com
what they require in their XML.

* [@diondesigns](https://wordpress.org/support/users/diondesigns/) hi sir. Thank
you very much! My problem is solved. GOD bless you.
I’ve changed the tag and
body in wp_remote_post.
* ```
$url = "https://gateway.wepayez.com/pay/gateway";
$xml = "
";
$response_json = wp_remote_post(
$url,
array(
'method' => 'POST',
'timeout' => 45,
'redirection' => 5,
'httpversion' => '1.0',
'headers' => array("Content-type" => "application/xml"),
'body' => $xml,
'sslverify' => false
)
);
```
