           xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
                <soap:Body>
                <Getid xmlns="http://test_xyz/">
                <uname>'. $line. '</uname>
                 <org>Test_GRP</org>
               </Getid>
             </soap:Body>
        </soap:Envelope>';
       echo $xml_post_string;
 }
?>

and below is OUTPUT

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
              <soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"                   xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
              xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
               <soap:Body>
                <Getid xmlns="http://test_xyz/">
               <uname>abc
             </uname>
              <org>Test_GRP</org>
            </Getid>
           </soap:Body>
          </soap:Envelope>

the uname element is not inline, any idea how I do that.

You need to flag file() to ignore the new lines at the end of each line...

file('userlist.txt', FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES)
