Try changing above code so it reads

if(file_exists("common/config.ini")) {
   $configData = parse_ini_file("common/config.ini");
} else {

As the xyz.php is in

/var/www/sites/project/ folder , and that is the starting path of
the script

so any script that needs to include
/var/www/sites/project/common/someFile.php
you need to specify relative path to '/var/www/sites/project/' which
is 'common/someFile.php'

this should work unless some of included files uses 'chdir' function
that changes current directory

WOW!! PHP always surprises me, this is the pros of PHP not being
strict type language.

Completely depends on application design.
My favor last few months is to use some standard width as now we will
se more and more >1024 px user screen resolutions,
and making site full width will make users with higher resolutions to
tilt head left-right like watching tennis :D
Its more user friendly to have user focus on center of screen and
fixed width eg 980px , and with use of Ajax/DHTML, application
doesn't need to use all space available as you can easily pop up less
commonly used features let the user hide what he doesn't need
rearrange elements etc etc

What I can suggest
1. save the XML to file eg xmldata.xml and use
system('curl -F "data=xmldata.xml" "http://path/to/api" ');

2. or Use PHP CURL functions

fufunction postData($postFileds,$url){
                $ch = curl_init();
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST ,1);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS ,$postFileds);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION ,1);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER ,0); // DO NOT RETURN HTTP
HEADERS
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER ,1); // RETURN THE
CONTENTS OF THE CALL
                $data = curl_exec($ch);
                curl_close($ch);
                return $data;
        }

$xmlData = 'some xml data';
$postFileds = 'data='. urlencode($xmlData);

//call function
postData($postFileds,"http://path/to/api");

Option 2 is what I'm trying to do, but the problem is that when curl
sends the file over the command line, when it's processes via PHP the
attached file comes over $_FILES.

But, added the postdata obviously doesn't allow it to come over that
way. Is there any way to use option 2 and transmit the file so it will
come over under $_FILES?
