Greetings everyone!

I'm working on a small project where the following needs to be done:

1) Create a script which can receive/generate and send data as XML.
i) The script should generate an xml(when a new trouble ticket is created) from the database and POST it to a URL (this URL exists on the client side, something like /call/client/newTAC ).

A sample xml is given below (the format is the same while receiving/sending)

<?xml version="1.0" endocing="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefa
+ult="qualified">
  <xs:element name="Incident">
    <xs:complexType>
      <xs:sequence>
    <xs:element ref="Header"/>
    <xs:element ref="ProviderID"/>
    <xs:element ref="ProviderClientOrg"/>
    <xs:element ref="ProviderTicketType"/>
     </xs:sequence>
   </xs:complexType>
 <xs:element>        
                
 <xs:element name="Transaction">    
   <xs:complexType>
     <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element ref="TransactionType"/>
     </xs:sequence>
   </xs:complexType>
 </xs:element>

 <xs:element name="Metrics">    
   <xs:complexType>
     <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element ref="ServiceRestoredDate"/>
      <xs:element ref="TicketOpenedDate"/>
      <xs:element ref="TicketClosedDate"/>
      <xs:element ref="TicketOwner"/>
     </xs:sequence>
   </xs:complexType>
 </xs:element>

Can anyone has any idea how to proceed with this. I suppose my script should be in daemon mode for receiving the data.
Is it possible to generate the xml from the database as shown above or should it be done programatically. Can you also let me know how can my script receive/send data (pseudo code).

Thank you one and all in advance.

Edit by BazB: change pre to code tags.
