I am trying to give above XML POST input to the XMLRPC.php , by using PHP but execution getting failed. How i can input all this inputs using php ? If you have any example you can suggest me.

Try to send the xml as POST request with cURL. The data arrives as $_POST['xml']. Read the docs of your xmlrpc.php library, if this is accepted, else adjust it.

    $url = 'http://somewhere/xmlrpc.php';        

    $xmlString = '<methodCall>....'; // your xml

    $post = array(                   // POST
       'xml' => $xmlString; 
    );

    $ch = curl_init($url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);    // <--- POST array
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
    $output = curl_exec($ch);

    if(curl_errno($ch)) {
        print curl_error($ch);
    } else {
        curl_close($ch);
    }

    echo $output;
