SOAP request in PHP with CURL

Tested and working!

• with https, user & password

   <?php 
   //Data, connection, auth
   $dataFromTheForm = $_POST['fieldName']; // request data from the form
   $soapUrl = "https://connecting.website.com/soap.asmx?op=DoSomething"; // asmx URL of WSDL
   $soapUser = "username";  //  username
   $soapPassword = "password"; // password
  
   // xml post structure
  
   $xml_post_string = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
                       <soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
