Getting xml response from ebay api

I have created code to get the response from ebay. I tested using sandbox in ebay, which gives correct result.

but here in localhost example it does not give response:

For below code when I do: 

$xmlResponse = simplexml_load_string($response);
var_dump($xmlResponse);

it returns : false;

any idea what can be wrong here?

code:

require_once 'tradingConstants.php';
//DEFINE("API_URL",'https://api.sandbox.ebay.com/ws/api.dll');



// check if posted

    // grab our posted keywords and call helper function
    // TODO: check if need urlencode
    $title = $_POST['title'];
    $categoryID = $_POST['categoryID'];
    $startPrice = $_POST['startPrice'];
    $pictureURL = $_POST['pictureURL'];
    $description = $_POST['description'];

    // call the getAddItem function to make AddItem call
  $response = getAddItem($title, $categoryID, $startPrice, $pictureURL, $description);
// Function to call the Trading API AddItem

function getAddItem($addTitle, $addCatID, $addSPrice, $addPicture, $addDesc) {

    /* Sample XML Request Block for minimum AddItem request
    see ... for sample XML block given length*/

    // Create unique id for adding item to prevent duplicate adds
    $uuid = md5(uniqid());

    // create the XML request
    $xmlRequest  = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>";

simplexml_load_string returns an object of class SimpleXMLElement with properties containing the data held within the xml document, or FALSE on failure.

You will need to find out why getAddItem dies not return a valid xml
