I've have created a PHP web service method 

public function import_external_xml($importXml)

I want to allow a client to upload xml via my web service method. My web service is not on the same domain as the client. The client has a webpage with a button where he want to write some javascript/jQuery to upload the xml via my web service method.

How can he do this?

Web service method in server.php:

public function import_external_xml($importXml)
{ 
    echo 'import_external_xml';
    exit;
}

I did the same thing using Ruby on Rails. But was sending data that was not in xml format. One important thing as you said that your webservice is not on the same domain, you will have to deal with CORS. You can get idea about CORS here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Access_control_CORS

You can refer this Post JQuery JSON Calls To PHP WebService Always Runs "Error" Callback

function callPhpAPI(){
  var dataa = {"your_data":youdata};

  $.ajax({
            url : yourwebserviceurl,
            type: 'POST',
            data : JSON.stringify(dataa),
            contentType : "application/json",
            success:function(data)
            {
                if(data){ 
                  alert(data);   
                  //console.log("Data from Server"+JSON.stringify(data));
                }
                else{
                  console.log("Data is empty");
                } 
            },
            error: function(xhr) {
                alert('Error!  Status = ' + xhr.status + " Message = " + xhr.statusText);
                //console.log('Error!  Status = ' + xhr.status + " Message = " +  xhr.statusText);
            }
        });
});

You can call your php function like this using ajax

xmlDocument = $("<wrap/>").append(xmlDocument).html();
xmlDocument = encodeURIComponent(xmlDocument);

then ajax 

jQuery.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: 'your_functions_address.php',
       processData     :   false,
   contentType     :   'text/xml',
     data            :   xmlDocument,

    success: function (obj, textstatus) {
                  if( !('error' in obj) ) {
                      yourVariable = obj.result;
                  }
                  else {
                      console.log(obj.error);
                  }
            }
});
