What are some alternative methods or libraries that can be used for sending XML data via UDP in PHP?

Sending XML data via UDP in PHP can be achieved by using the `socket_sendto` function to send the XML data over a UDP socket. Alternatively, the `fsockopen` function can be used to create a UDP connection and send the XML data. Another option is to use a library like `React/Socket` or `amphp/socket` which provide more advanced features for working with sockets in PHP.

// Using socket_sendto function
$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, SOL_UDP);
$server_ip = '127.0.0.1';
$server_port = 12345;
$xml_data = '<xml><data>example</data></xml>';
socket_sendto($socket, $xml_data, strlen($xml_data), 0, $server_ip, $server_port);
socket_close($socket);
```

```php
// Using fsockopen function
$server_ip = '127.0.0.1';
$server_port = 12345;
$xml_data = '<xml><data>example</data></xml>';
$socket = fsockopen('udp://' . $server_ip, $server_port, $errno, $errstr);
fwrite($socket, $xml_data);
fclose($socket);
