Submitting sitemap.xml to Google via php

On the sitemaps.org it says that it is possible to submit the sitemap.xml via HTTP request to the search engine. However I'm unable to find documentation on how to do this for Google. I'm only finding the documentation on submitting it via Google Webmaster Tools.

Any ideas, is this even possible?

You don't need to submit and resubmit sitemap.xml to search engines. You can define them in your robots.txt file and web crawlers will find them and crawl them frequently.

You can ping the sitemap url :

Pinging google sitemap after every new article submission?
