$cxml = urlencode(utf8_encode($cxml))
$cxml = preg_replace('/\+/', ' ', $cxml);

Do I need to be using urlencode, does the browser automatically apply encoding during the form submission?

I don't sure about this, but better to use urlencode when there is a chance to escaping.

I'm posting cxml via http in a hidden form field. Before posting I'm encoding the cxml in php using utf8_encode and urlencode as shown below. The problem seems to be that the encoding replaces spaces in the tags with a plus sign(+) and when the receiving software tries to decode it fails, and I believe it's because of these plus signs in the tags.<br />
<br />
Any ideas please? I don't want to use curl function btw. &nbsp;<br />

Encode and post xml in a hidden form field

Extensible Markup Language (XML) refers to the encoding of documents such that they can be read by both machines and humans. XML documents use tags to show the beginning and end of a set of data. XML is used extensively on websites to show volumes of data, and is the default for a number of office productivity suites. This topic includes discussions of XML-related technologies, such as XQuery (the XML Query language), XPath (the XML Path language), XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations), XLink (the XML Linking language) and XPointer (the XML Pointer language).

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
