If you mean getting POST data in php, then at first glance looks like you are posting a single field c.setopt(pycurl.POSTFIELDS, "xml="+str(xmldata))

so it should just be $_POST['xml']

And if you mean reading data with curl as a response, then curl should have returntransfer option on execution (i'm not familiar with python syntax)
