// The version number (9_5_0) should match version of the Chilkat extension used, omitting the micro-version number.
// For example, if using Chilkat v9.5.0.48, then include as shown here:
include("chilkat_9_5_0.php");

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// Also see Chilkat's Online WSDL Code Generator

// Here is an example of an HTTP POST Request we'll be sending:

// POST /WebServices/MFET/ HTTP/1.1
// Content-Type: text/xml
// SOAPAction: NewSubmission
//  
// <soapenv:Envelope
//   xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
//   xmlns:tem="http://tempuri.org/"
//   xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
//   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
//   <soapenv:Header/>
//   <soapenv:Body>
//     <tem:NewSubmission>
//       <tem:UserName>yourusername</tem:UserName>

//     </tem:NewSubmission>
//   </soapenv:Body>
// </soapenv:Envelope>

// In the above XML, the "TRANSMISSION_XML_FILE_CONTENTS_AS_BASE64" contains the base64 encoded
// string of the XML file that contains "<Transmission> ... </Transmission>"
// First let's load the transmission XML file and get the contents as base64.
