Is that PHP 5?
Then you could simply try alike

   $postedXML = new DOMDocument();
   $loaded = $postedXML->load('php://input');
   if ($loaded) {
     echo "<p>Received " . $postedXML->getElementsByTagName('*')->length 
. " elements.</p>\r\n";
   }
   else {
     echo "<p>Error parsing XML.</p>\r\n";
   }

$postedXML would be a DOMDocument, PHP 5's implementation of the W3C DOM 
Level 2 Core. See
   <www.php.net/dom>

Even with PHP 4.3 and later I think you can read from php://input but 
there you don't have DOM Level 2 support built in, there is only an 
extension that needs to be installed, called DOM XML.
But of course you could read php://input and pass that on to the XML 
parser for parsing, see
   <www.php.net/xml>
