Add multiple tracking numbers to an amazon order using MWS API

I am trying to upload multiple tracking numbers to an Amazon order using MWS API in PHP but don't know what would be the XML request for this. Here is the XML I am using which ends up uploading the last tracking number.

$feed = <<<EOD
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <AmazonEnvelope xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="amzn-envelope.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
        <Header>
        <DocumentVersion>1.01</DocumentVersion>
        <MerchantIdentifier>XXX</MerchantIdentifier>
        </Header>
        <MessageType>OrderFulfillment</MessageType>
        <Message>
        <MessageID>1</MessageID>
        <OrderFulfillment>
            <AmazonOrderID>$orderId</AmazonOrderID>
            <FulfillmentDate>$FulfillmentDate</FulfillmentDate>
            <FulfillmentData>
                <CarrierCode>$carrierCode</CarrierCode>
                <ShipperTrackingNumber>'1Z7X887R0370783509'</ShipperTrackingNumber>
            </FulfillmentData>
            <Item>
            <Quantity>1</Quantity>
        </Item>

        </OrderFulfillment>
        </Message>
        <MessageID>2</MessageID>
        <OrderFulfillment>
            <AmazonOrderID>$orderId</AmazonOrderID>
            <FulfillmentDate>$FulfillmentDate</FulfillmentDate>
            <FulfillmentData>
                <CarrierCode>$carrierCode</CarrierCode>
                <ShipperTrackingNumber>'1Z7X887R0075127492'</ShipperTrackingNumber>
            </FulfillmentData>
            <Item>
            <Quantity>1</Quantity>
        </Item>
        </OrderFulfillment>
        </Message>
        <MessageID>3</MessageID>
        <OrderFulfillment>
            <AmazonOrderID>$orderId</AmazonOrderID>
            <FulfillmentDate>$FulfillmentDate</FulfillmentDate>
            <FulfillmentData>
                <CarrierCode>$carrierCode</CarrierCode>
                <ShipperTrackingNumber>'1Z7X887R0375972085'</ShipperTrackingNumber>
            </FulfillmentData>
            <Item>
            <Quantity>1</Quantity>
           </Item>

        </OrderFulfillment>
        </Message>
    </AmazonEnvelope>
EOD;

Any help is appreciated!

I realize this is an old post, but in case anyone else is looking and can't get the XML to work, I did ultimately find the answer for myself, which was to submit the feed as a flat file instead of XML. My solution was in C# and not PHP, but basically the FeedType has to be set to "POST_FLAT_FILE_FULFILLMENT_DATA"

  request.FeedType = "_POST_FLAT_FILE_FULFILLMENT_DATA_";

instead of "POST_ORDER_FULFILLMENT_DATA" and then submit a tab-delimited text file in the format defined here (from their European site, but I use this in the United States marketplace):

https://sellercentral-europe.amazon.com/gp/help/external/help.html?itemID=13491

I tried repeatedly to get the XML to work with a few different variations and simply could not make it work. Amazon's documentation on this is terrible and doesn't describe how to format the XML for multiple tracking numbers. When I switched to the flat file feed, it worked right away. If anyone has had any luck with the XML version, I would be interested in seeing that. I had an open case with Amazon for quite a while trying to get this information from them and they kept insisting that I was asking them to write my code for me when really I just wanted guidance on how to format the XML correctly for their system. I suspect that there is no way to get two tracking numbers to work in and XML feed and that it only works with a flat file.

Try the following XML. Hope it helps.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<AmazonEnvelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="amzn-envelope.xsd">

<Message>     
   <MessageID>1</MessageID>     
   <OrderFulfillment>         
   <MerchantOrderID>1234567</MerchantOrderID>        
   <MerchantFulfillmentID>1234567</MerchantFulfillmentID>

   <FulfillmentData>            
      <CarrierCode>UPS</CarrierCode>            
      <ShippingMethod>Second Day</ShippingMethod>

Looks like you're not properly opening your messages.

Try this:

</Message>
  Add this -->  <Message>
        <MessageID>2</MessageID>    

 </Message>
Add this -->  <Message>
        <MessageID>3</MessageID>
